To create high-quality, effective prompts for AI tools—especially for UX/UI design—it's crucial to go beyond generic instructions and ensure prompts are:
- Context-rich (provide background and constraints)
- Specific (clearly define the task and desired output)
- Role-based (assign the AI a relevant “persona”)
- Goal-oriented (explain the purpose or intended use)
- Format-guided (specify the structure or format for the response)
Tips for Crafting Effective Prompts
- Set the AI’s role: “You are a senior UX designer…”
- Provide context: Describe the product, audience, and constraints.
- Define output structure: “List as bullet points,” “Provide a table,” “Write a user story.”
- Clarify the goal: “To improve onboarding for new users,” “To identify accessibility gaps.”
- Request rationale: “Explain your reasoning for each suggestion.”
