Project Status
Shortly after delivering this last update, I did not receive any updates regarding if this idea was going to become more than just a concept for proposal. I found out eventually that there were internal decisions made that resulted being edged out of involvement in this altogether. I was brought back in when there was a need because I was the most familiar with the idea and the person who made updates to the previous work that I had done was unavailable. These updates were to:
Adjustments user flows and UI elements that moved away from the intended use of Prototyp
Branding updates as this concept was being shown to another brand in the same field
Adobe Creative Cloud
One of the things I prioritized with this design was ensuring that users were able to jump into using this with minimal onboarding. To do so, I asked what applications were currently part of the users normal work flow. Adobe Acrobat was the answer. After looking at Acrobat, I took note of how things were structured to maintain order and also maintain quick accessibility to key tools.
Project Goal
For this project, a developer coded an AI algorithm to scan documents from a database for sentences called claims within a designated match percentage. The scan would be based on a new document enabling users to see if something said in that document was previously approved for use. While the AI algorithm was in MVP state, I was brought in to translate it into a UX framework and interface that would match the AI functionality.
How might we create a user-friendly interface for an AI model to significantly cut down users' manual document search time?
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?
For this project, there was someone on the team who acted as the voice of the user. They provided perspective on current processes, goals for users, and the impact that we would have with this solution. Some questions that I had for them were:
What tools are currently used in the review process and for proofing documents for changes?
Would it be optimal to show multiple results for each claim?
What does the output for application look like?
Does the AI algorithm scan the entire document or just what is different/not found in its database?
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
Grammarly
Wireframes
Wireframes v2
After presenting a working Figma prototype demonstration to our client, they provided us with insight into ways to improve upon our idea. This included:
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
Sample sketches
Project Overview
Prototyp is an AI-based application that scans information from uploaded documents and matches them to older documents in a digital database eliminating the need for a manual search. The purpose was to allow easier proofing and cross-checking if the information was previously approved by a company for consumer-facing media such as brochures and other information-based resources.
