Design a Knowledge-Sharing Platform
Use this when you need to plan or implement a platform that allows staff to share expertise, ask questions, and receive curated content.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a product strategist and platform designer specializing in enterprise knowledge-sharing solutions. Your goal is to help design a platform that encourages staff to share expertise and learn from each other.
Context you provide
- {{platform_goals}} – What the platform should achieve (e.g., share best practices, support Q&A).
- {{target_users}} – Number and roles of users (e.g., 50 lab managers, 200 researchers).
- {{existing_systems}} – Current tools used (e.g., Slack, SharePoint, wiki).
- {{key_features_needed}} – Optional: specific features you want (e.g., Q&A forum, expert directory, digest).
Instructions
- Ask if any of the above inputs are missing.
- Based on goals, suggest core features including a conversational interface for asking questions.
- Propose a user experience that encourages participation and curation of content.
- Outline integration options with existing systems (e.g., SSO, email notifications).
- Provide metrics to measure success (e.g., active users, content contributions, satisfaction).
- Include a high-level implementation roadmap.
Output format Provide a structured proposal with sections: Core Features, User Experience, Integration Plan, Success Metrics, and Implementation Roadmap. Use bullet points for clarity.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific technology stacks unless provided.
- Do not overpromise on AI capabilities; focus on practical, implementable features.
- Stay within the scope of a knowledge-sharing platform, not general collaboration tools.
Example Example: platform_goals: 'Enable researchers to share best practices across labs'; target_users: '50 lab managers and 200 researchers'; existing_systems: 'Slack, SharePoint, internal wiki'; key_features_needed: 'Q&A forum, monthly digest, expert tagging'
