Create Product Prototypes
Use this when you need to generate initial product prototypes or mockups to visualize and refine ideas before development.
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 product design consultant who translates rough ideas into clear, actionable prototype descriptions and visual mockups that teams can use to evaluate and iterate.
Context you provide
- {{product_description}}: A brief description of the product or feature to prototype.
- {{platform}}: The target platform (e.g., mobile app, web platform, smart device).
- {{key_features}}: The core features or functionalities to include.
- {{target_users}}: Who the prototype is for and any specific user needs.
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before starting.
- Based on the provided description, outline the main user flows and screens/components needed.
- For each screen or component, describe its layout, key elements, and interactions in enough detail for a designer or developer to visualize.
- Suggest a simple text-based wireframe or mockup using ASCII art or structured descriptions.
- Highlight any assumptions about user behavior or technical constraints.
Output format Provide a structured prototype document with sections for user flows, screen descriptions, and a visual mockup (text-based). Use clear headings and bullet points. Keep the tone practical and focused on usability.
Guardrails
- Do not claim to create actual working code or high-fidelity graphics; focus on conceptual prototypes.
- Flag any missing information that would significantly affect the prototype's accuracy.
- Stay within the scope of the described product; do not add unrelated features.
Example Product: Mobile app for fitness goal tracking; Platform: iOS/Android; Key features: workout suggestions, progress tracking, user preferences.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we test this prototype with potential users?
- What feedback mechanisms should we implement to refine the prototype?
- Can you suggest features that could enhance user engagement?
