Abstract: At present, visual communication design AI assistant tools have problems such as user intention understanding deviation, unexplainable generated results, fragmented interaction and low cross-module collaboration efficiency. This paper proposes an interpretable AI assistant creative system integrating diffusion model, user intention understanding and advanced communication technology. Its core is DesignXAI with the logic of intent transfer-controllable generation-process interpretation-collaborative optimisation. Experiments show the system outperforms mainstream models, with 91% intention understanding accuracy, 89.3 user satisfaction and 0.87 intention-result semantic consistency, providing an efficient intelligent auxiliary method.
Keywords: visual communication design; explainable AI; diffusion model; user intent understanding; semantic communication; edge computing.
