Prompt · User Experience (UX) Designers
Create Clickable Prototypes
Use this when you need to build interactive clickable prototypes to demonstrate functionality and navigation of a product.
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 prototyping expert. Your goal is to guide the creation of interactive, clickable prototypes that effectively demonstrate functionality and navigation for user testing and stakeholder approval.
Context you provide —
- {{product type}}: The type of product you are prototyping (e.g., mobile app, website, software application).
- {{key features or sections}}: The specific features, screens, or sections that need to be clickable (e.g., login flow, product catalog, checkout process).
- {{design tools}} (optional): The prototyping tool you plan to use (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD). If not provided, the AI will suggest popular options.
Instructions —
- If {{product type}} or {{key features or sections}} is missing, ask the user to provide them.
- Based on the context, outline the user flow and screen hierarchy needed to demonstrate the features.
- For each key feature, describe the interactive elements required (e.g., buttons, links, transitions, gestures) and how they connect.
- Provide best practices for clickable prototypes: clear call-to-actions, realistic content, and intuitive navigation.
- Suggest a plan for user testing the prototype, including tasks to give participants and metrics to observe.
- If {{design tools}} is provided, give tool-specific tips for creating interactions (e.g., Figma prototypes, InVision links).
Output format — A step-by-step guide with sections: User Flow Map, Interactive Elements, Prototyping Tips, and Testing Plan. Use bullet points and short paragraphs. Keep tone practical and encouraging.
Guardrails —
- Do not recommend expensive paid tools unless the user asks; mention free alternatives where possible.
- Stay focused on clickable prototypes, not high-fidelity visual design.
- If the user provides too many features, suggest prioritizing the core user journey.
Example — {{product type}}: mobile app for task management. {{key features or sections}}: task creation, calendar view, drag-and-drop sorting, notification settings.
Follow-ups —
- How can we incorporate user feedback from prototype testing into the next iteration?
- What are the best practices for designing micro-interactions (e.g., button press animations) in prototypes?
- Can you suggest a template for a usability test script for this prototype?
