Prototyp
project overview
Prototyp is an AI-based application that scans information from uploaded documents and matches them against a digital database eliminating the need for a manual search by users.

project takeaway
• Collaborating with others on a team of different specialties requires over communicating and asking questions repeatedly
• As a designer, expectation management is important to avoid ideas from scaling too big especially during the initial design stage
• Presenting research and evidence is key to getting everyone on board with the concepts being presented

future updates
• Simplify the user journey and update flow to reflect the change from the initial application use
• Decide on a visual style and aesthetic that is consistent with simple UI look of wireframes
exploration and analysis
How might we design a user experience interface for an AI model that effectively reduces the time users spend manually searching through documents, enhancing efficiency and streamlining information retrieval processes?
Questions for the user »
• What tools are currently used in the review process and for proofing documents for changes?
• Would it be optimal to show multiple results?
• What does the ideal output for application look like?
• Does the AI algorithm scan the entire document or just what is different/not found in its database?
framing the challenge
The user base is composed of individuals who use Adobe Acrobat daily to complete their work. To reduce the amount of onboarding time required to learn a new program, I looked at several Adobe programs(Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat) for IA and structural insight when presenting information.
Grammarly was another application I looked at in regard to IA and function because of how similar it is to Prototyp.
Directions for functionality »
• Large main focus for content
• Smaller half-size focus for document feedback and comments
• Toolbar of common tools including a start process button
• Chunk information by creating areas of focus for the document being reviewed
• Find a way to highlight comments/suggestions currently being reviewed
• Include export options
Changes to the the design »
• Pivot from an application that would allow editing within the Prototype to a companion program
• Simplify the concept to only scan new documents and output matches from the internal database
