Personal Design Project
Crate
With Crate, I envision providing vinyl enthusiasts with a seamless way to catalog their physical record collection while offering access to a comprehensive digital music streaming experience, bridging the gap between analog and digital music worlds. With this idea in mind, I decided to see how quickly I could make this a reality with AI.
PROJECT GOAL
Explore implementation of AI into a product strategy and management workflow, while creating an application that bridges together digital and physical music media
ROLE
My role was product manager, agentic AI prompt engineer, and user experience strategist.
Starting with Strategy
To begin my AI workflow, I served a series of prompts to Microsoft Co-Pilot to help me get started. I included requests for a high level vision, philosophy, guiding principles, product strategy, and proposed product roadmap with high level user stories.
The initial output took minutes to generate, which I refined to the result on the right.
Using the Strategy to prompt design
•Using the documented Product Strategy document, this was fed to Figma Make to create proof of concept clickable prototypes
•FigmaMake generated a series of prototypes and I fed it potential brand palettes and prompts for application experience.
•The prototypes generated were used to help visualize the concept and identify opportunity gaps for enhancement.
Next Steps
Use generated prototype for rapid usability testing with a randomly selected cohort of users
Document user feedback in Dovetail or Notion
Feed user feedback to AI to summarize findings and glean outcomes.
Verify AI findings and prompt agent to iterate based on refined user feedback.
