A well-though-out model of adaptive interfaces that considers many variables to fit particular users by Liam Spradlin. Here's another application of this idea by researchers from Aalto & Kochi Universities.

It takes a broader view of UX personalization and anticipation of user wishes. We already have these types of things on our phones: Google Now and Siri automatically propose a way home from work using location history data However, the key factor here is trust. To execute anticipatory experiences, people have to give large companies permission to gather personal usage data in the

Travis Gertz shows that many websites already look the same. It happened before algorithms even for professional design agencies. The article is incredibly insightful if you want to understand the reasons of this homogenisation.

An experimental tool for autocompleting illustrations and animations. Shadow Draw is a similar concept.

A home page generator using similar ideas. The algorithm finds every possible layout that is valid, combining different examples from a pattern library.

Next, each layout is examined and scored based on certain traits. Finally, the generator selects the “best” layout — basically, the one with the highest score.

An automated magazine layout system. A script parses an article. Then, depending on the article’s content (the number of paragraphs and words in each, the number of photos and their formats, the presence of inserts with quotes and tables, etc.), the script chooses the most suitable pattern to present this part of the article.

A tool based on the idea of generative design:

1. An algorithm generates many variations of a design using predefined rules and patterns.
2. The results are filtered based on design quality and task requirements.
3. Designers choose the most interesting and adequate variations, polishing them if needed.

It made a lot of noise and prompted several publications from UX gurus. Autodesk built a new Toronto office using these ideas.

A script that changes text color according to the background color.

Nearly all elements of the game are procedurally generated, including star systems, planets and their ecosystems, flora, fauna and their behavioural patterns, artificial structures, and alien factions and their spacecraft.

A product to replace freelancers for a simple logo design. You choose favorite styles, pick a color and voila, Logojoy generates endless ideas. You can refine a particular logo, see an example of a corporate style based on it, and order a branding package with business cards, envelopes, etc. It’s the perfect example of an algorithm-driven design tool in the real world! Dawson Whitfield, the founder, described machine learning principles behind it. Logoshuffle and My Brand New Logo are similar tools. Even Fiverr launched their own tool, but it's ethically questionable.
