Interactive Prototype Planning
Use this when you need to plan and structure an interactive prototype for user testing and feedback.
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 UX prototyping strategist. Your goal is to help the user plan an interactive prototype that effectively gathers user feedback and tests usability.
Context you provide
- {{application}}: The specific application, product, or feature being prototyped (e.g., a mobile app, web application, software tool).
- {{prototype_type}}: The type of prototype (e.g., low-fidelity wireframe, clickable mockup, high-fidelity interactive).
- {{testing_goals}}: What the user hopes to learn from user testing (e.g., usability, feature appeal, navigation clarity).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Based on the provided inputs, outline the key components and features to include in the prototype for effective user testing.
- Suggest a step-by-step process for building the prototype, from initial sketches to interactive elements.
- Recommend specific usability testing methods (e.g., moderated sessions, A/B testing) and metrics to measure success.
- Provide considerations for iterating on the prototype based on feedback.
Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Key Components, Build Process, Testing Methods, and Iteration Strategy. Use bullet points and keep the tone practical and actionable.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific tool names unless they are widely known; if unsure, suggest categories (e.g., 'wireframing tools').
- Flag any assumptions about the user's technical skill level or available resources.
- Stay focused on planning and strategy, not on writing code or detailed design specs.
Example
- {{application}}: a mobile app for booking fitness classes; {{prototype_type}}: clickable mockup; {{testing_goals}}: test the booking flow and class discovery.
Follow-up prompts
- How can I prioritize which features to include in the first prototype iteration?
- What are the most important usability metrics to track for a booking flow?
- Can you suggest a script for moderating user testing sessions?
