Designing AI with AI
What began as a small frustration with AI chat interfaces grew into something bigger — a hands-on experiment in improving AI usability by co-designing with the very tool that caused the problem.
Great ideas can disappear into the chat void,
making it difficult to find past responses.
I kept running into the same problem with AI tools: I’d get an amazing response — something I wanted to reuse or reference — and then lose it forever in my chat history. Search wasn’t enough. The experience felt like wandering through a labyrinth of half-remembered conversations.
Solve the problem of AI response retrievability testing the latest tech in design prompting.

Bonus challenge
Design using AI prompting in ChatGPT and Figma Make as much as possible in order test and learn the potential in the latest design technology.
Designing through dialogue. Implementing, debugging and improving
01
I created a 'Feature requirements prompt' (FRP) using ChatGPT
This was a structured brief I co-wrote with ChatGPT, detailing each feature’s purpose, interaction flow, and visual intent. It served as a blueprint for Figma Make to generate a high-fidelity prototype aligned with my vision.

Created new FRP for 'saved responses' feature
I kept running into the same problem with AI tools: I’d get an amazing response — something I wanted to reuse or reference — and then lose it forever in my chat history. Search wasn’t enough. The experience felt like wandering through a labyrinth of half-remembered conversations.

I polished the UI with soft translucency and dark mode for a clean, modern feel.
I refined the UI to feel cleaner and more consistent, focusing on subtle depth and clarity. Inspired by Apple’s liquid glass aesthetic, I introduced soft translucency and layered light effects for a premium feel. I also added a dark mode to balance contrast and showcase how the interface adapts to different moods and environments.

I added default chats and welcome messages to make the prototype feel alive
