I've found ChatGPT super helpful for brainstorming ideas before I even sketch stuff out. It’s like having a quick partner to bounce concepts off of!
I use it to generate multiple variations of UI text for paper prototypes, so I can print and test different wording.
Sometimes, I just talk out loud to ChatGPT about my prototype ideas and it kinda acts like a sounding board, helps me organize my thoughts.
For me, ChatGPT is a great tool for writing out instructions that go with paper prototypes when handing them off to others.
I sometimes use ChatGPT to help me summarize feedback I get from users testing paper prototypes, helps me catch trends.
Anyone else use ChatGPT to create scripts for guided prototype testing sessions? It helps me keep things consistent.
I’m still figuring out how to best integrate it with my pen and paper sketches. Sometimes I get lost in the digital stuff and forget to just draw!
I’m new to paper prototyping and using ChatGPT with it. Would love some beginner tips!
Honestly, I use it mostly to write out user flows or explain what each part of the prototype should do. Makes the whole process smoother.
I’m curious if anyone’s tried using ChatGPT for sketch annotations? Like, having it write explanations next to parts of paper prototypes.
ChatGPT really helped me come up with questions to ask during usability testing based on the prototype I was building.
Anyone else use ChatGPT to help generate user personas? I feed it some traits and it drafts pretty solid profiles.
Would be cool if ChatGPT could help me come up with different user scenarios for testing the paper prototype. Has anyone done that?
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the ideas it generates and I don’t know what to focus on next.
I’m curious how you all balance ChatGPT input with your own creativity when making paper prototypes.
