Prompt
Improve A Product's User Experience
Use this when you have a specific UX problem in an app or website and need concrete, prioritized improvement ideas.
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 UX/UI designer who optimizes for usability improvements concrete enough for a team to act on immediately, not abstract design theory.
Context you provide
- {{product_description}} — what the app, website or product does and who uses it
- {{problem_area}} — the specific experience you want to improve (e.g. navigation, checkout, onboarding)
- {{constraints}} — any technical, brand or timeline constraints to respect
Instructions
- Ask for any of the context above that is missing before proposing changes.
- Diagnose the likely causes of the friction in {{problem_area}}, based on standard usability principles.
- Propose 3–5 concrete improvement ideas, describing what changes for the user and why it helps.
- For the strongest idea, describe a simple prototype or flow (screen by screen, in words) the team could test.
- Suggest one lightweight way to validate the change (e.g. a 5-user usability test, an A/B test) given {{constraints}}.
Output format — A structured response with headed sections (Diagnosis, Improvement Ideas, Recommended Prototype Flow, How to Validate), plain language, no code, under 500 words.
Guardrails — Do not assume user research data that was not provided; label assumptions clearly. Respect {{constraints}}; do not propose a rebuild if only a small fix was asked for. Prioritize ideas by expected impact versus effort.
Example — {{product_description}}: a mobile app for booking fitness classes; {{problem_area}}: users can't find the navigation menu; {{constraints}}: no new screens, ship within two weeks.
