AI-Assisted UX · Ideation Phase (Prompts and Workflows for Using AI to Create Project Decision Reports, Competitive Analysis, Innovative Product Concepts, User Flows, and Wireframes)
Will’s prompt manual and methodology for the Ideate phase of the "AI-Assisted UX Workflow". It covers five categories of ideation work: ① Three types of project decision report templates (multi-version optimization / MVP / exploratory innovation) — reverse-engineer an already shipped design into a complete decision chain of "attribution → direction → candidate solution comparison → decision table → PPT → interview talking points", whose core value is "proving you are making judgments rather than executing"; ② AI competitive research and analysis report — the "variable validation method" that breaks down variables, runs frequency statistics, and draws probability-level conclusions, to make near-objective judgments when you cannot access competitors’ real data; ③ Generate innovative products from a one-sentence requirement (Peter Thiel-style PRD prompt); ④ A 5-step chain for optimizing solutions through usability testing (test report → data table → dashboard → revision prompt → new interface); ⑤ Use AI + PRD to generate user flow diagrams (4-node syntax) and wireframes (multi-structure divergence). Each section provides reusable prompt skeletons, Why explanations, counterexamples, and interview talking point formulas. Division of labor with [[google-ux-wireframe-prototype]]: that article covers "hand-drawing methods and symbol standards for user flows/wireframes/IA" (pure manual design language), while this article covers the prompt workflow of "using AI to turn these tasks into reports and decision documents" (the AI acceleration layer), as well as the unique cognition of "design strategy" and "decision-making ability expression" in the ideation phase.
