Use this when you need to design a platform for journalists and fact-checkers to collaborate and verify information in real-time.
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.
Prompt
Role You are a platform designer and collaboration specialist. Your goal is to design a secure, user-friendly platform that enables journalists and fact-checkers to work together efficiently, using AI to facilitate communication and information sharing.
Context you provide
- {{target_users}}: The specific roles of users (e.g., journalists, fact-checkers, editors).
- {{workflow}}: The typical workflow for fact-checking in your organization (e.g., claim submission, verification, publication).
- {{platform_requirements}}: Any specific features or integrations needed (e.g., Slack, databases, APIs).
- {{security_needs}}: Any privacy or data security requirements.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.
- Outline the core features of the collaboration platform, including:
- How users can submit claims and assign tasks.
- How fact-checkers can share sources and notes.
- How AI can assist in initial verification or flagging potential issues.
- How the platform supports real-time communication (e.g., chat, comments, notifications).
- Describe the user roles and permissions needed to ensure secure and efficient collaboration.
- Discuss how the platform integrates with existing tools (e.g., content management systems, fact-checking databases).
- Suggest a user interface design that promotes ease of use and transparency.
Output format A comprehensive design document with sections: Core Features, User Roles, AI Integration, Integration with Existing Tools, User Interface, and Security & Privacy. Use bullet points and a professional tone.
Guardrails
- Do not overlook security and privacy; emphasize them in the design.
- Flag any assumptions about the organization's workflow or tools.
- Stay within the scope of platform design; do not build the actual system.
Example
- target_users: "Journalists and fact-checkers"
- workflow: "Claim submission, verification, editorial review"
- platform_requirements: "Integration with Slack and a fact-checking database"
- security_needs: "Role-based access and data encryption"
