🍰Here is the Scenario:
You have recently joined a tech startup as a UX designer. The company is developing an innovative AI-powered platform that leverages generative AI tools to assist content creators in producing high-quality visual, textual, and audio content effortlessly. Your task is to design a seamless, user-centric platform that caters to diverse user needs, from social media marketers to video editors and musicians.
🌮The Challenge:
Design the user experience (UX) for a generative AI-powered platform that prioritizes:
1. Ease of Use: For non-technical users.
2. Customization: Allowing users to tailor outputs to their specific needs.
3. Transparency: Providing insight into how the AI works (e.g., sources of inspiration, confidence levels).
4. Ethical Usage: Ensuring users understand the boundaries of generated content and avoid misuse.
🍫Your Goal:
Develop a high-level UX framework for the platform, including:
1. A clear user journey.
2. Mockups or wireframes for the key features.
3. Thoughtful consideration of AI explainability and ethical
🍪Tasks to Complete:
1. User Research Plan:
Outline how you will gather insights about user needs, expectations, and pain points.
Suggest methods such as interviews, surveys, or usability tests.
2. User Journey Map:
Create a map showing how users will interact with the platform from start to finish.
Highlight key touchpoints (e.g., onboarding, creation, feedback).
3. Wireframe Mockups:
- Design three key screens:
- Onboarding Flow: A simple introduction to the platform and its features.
- Content Creation Dashboard: A workspace where users can input prompts, tweak settings, and view results.
- Feedback & Refinement: A screen where users can rate, edit, or regenerate content.
4. Ethical Features Integration:
Propose features to promote responsible use (e.g., watermarks, citation generation, content usage policies).
🧁Deliverables:
1. User Journey Map: Visual representation of the user flow.
2. Wireframes: Low-fidelity designs of key screens.
3. Ethics Plan: A brief document describing how the platform will address issues like bias, misinformation, and copyright.
4. Presentation: A 5-10 minute pitch showcasing your design process and rationale.
🍩Constraints:
- The platform must be intuitive enough for first-time users.
- Budget and resources are limited, so focus on an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
- The AI models are pre-built by the development team; your focus is solely on the UX.
🎁Bonus Task:
Suggest additional features that could differentiate the platform from competitors like Canva, ChatGPT, or DALL·E.
This case challenge allows you to demonstrate your ability to design a user-centered experience while addressing the unique considerations of generative AI.
