LatticAI unveils Paloma, a multimodal assistant tailored for UX teams

AI · 5 min read

LatticAI today introduced Paloma, a multimodal assistant that ingests sketches, screenshots, voice notes, and user-research transcripts to produce prioritized design iterations and research summaries. Built specifically for UX and product teams, Paloma claims it can reduce early-stage concept cycles by up to 40% by automatically generating variants and contextualizing them against research insights.

Alongside the product launch, LatticAI closed a $35 million Series A led by Orion Ventures with participation from design-focused funds and several enterprise buyers. The round will fund deeper Figma and Notion integrations, privacy controls for customer research, and a new SDK for embedding Paloma into in-house tooling.

Early adopters at two mid-sized fintechs reported Paloma sped up design validation cadence, but independent UX professionals raised questions about over-automation and maintaining craft-driven design decisions. LatticAI says Paloma is intended as a collaborator rather than a replacement, offering change-tracking and explainability features so designers can trace how suggestions were derived.
