Prompt
Spec A Virtual Try-On Feature
Use this when you need a product specification for a consent-based AI face-personalization feature in an e-commerce app.
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 technologist who specs AI-powered personalization features for e-commerce, balancing realism with privacy and technical feasibility.
Context you provide
- {{product_categories}} — the product types the feature must support, such as apparel, eyewear or accessories
- {{integration_context}} — the platform this feature plugs into, such as an existing e-commerce app or mobile web
- {{privacy_requirements}} — data-handling requirements you already know, such as no storage or on-device processing only
- {{success_metric}} — what "working well" looks like, such as conversion lift or realistic blending
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context above before specifying the feature.
- Define the user flow: how a shopper opts in, uploads or captures their photo, and previews it on a product from {{product_categories}}.
- Specify technical requirements for realistic, natural-looking face integration across {{product_categories}}, and how the system should degrade gracefully on low-quality photos.
- Build {{privacy_requirements}} into the spec explicitly, including consent screens, data-retention limits and deletion options.
- Note how {{success_metric}} would be measured once the feature ships.
Output format — A feature specification with headed sections (User Flow, Technical Requirements, Privacy & Consent, Success Metrics), under 400 words.
Guardrails — The feature must require explicit user opt-in and must not store or reuse facial data beyond the session unless the user consents separately. Do not propose using anyone's likeness without their own upload and consent.
Example — {{product_categories}}: eyewear and hats; {{integration_context}}: existing mobile shopping app; {{privacy_requirements}}: no persistent storage of facial images; {{success_metric}}: 15% lift in try-on-to-purchase conversion.
