Product

Idea to Tested Prototype

Use AI to compress the path from product question to a testable interface without skipping user evidence.

Outcome
A validated interactive prototype
Time
1–2 days
Level
Intermediate

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Set up the work.

Suggested toolkit

  • LLM
  • Design tool
  • Code agent
  • Browser testing

You will make

  • Testable hypothesis
  • Core flow
  • Interactive prototype
  • Learning report

STEP BY STEP

Run the workflow.

Work in sequence and keep each intermediate artifact. Review the result at every stage before spending time on the next one.

  1. 01

    Write the hypothesis

    State the user, problem, proposed behavior and evidence that would change your mind. Keep the prototype focused on that uncertainty.

  2. 02

    Map the smallest flow

    Design only the screens and states needed for a user to complete the core task, including empty, error and success states.

  3. 03

    Build with constraints

    Give the agent the flow, content, visual rules and acceptance criteria. Review the result in small functional slices.

  4. 04

    Test behavior, not taste

    Observe representative users attempting the task. Record where they hesitate, what they expect and whether the hypothesis survives.

QUALITY GATE

Before you call it finished

01The output matches the stated outcome.

02Sources, settings and intermediate files are saved.

03A person has reviewed the result and edge cases.

04The next person can repeat the process.
