AI-assisted domain learning and research synthesis

AI helps a UX designer learn a new domain faster by answering follow-up questions on internal documentation, summarizing concepts, generating visual maps, comparing interviews, and querying transcripts from user and stakeholder conversations.

Why the human is still essential here

The designer decides what context matters, asks the right follow-up questions, interprets the findings, and turns insights into product decisions.

When I opened Medium to write this article, I found a draft I’d started back in 2023 about how I was using ChatGPT in my day-to-day as a product designer. I never published it. Looking back, I think I was afraid of how the UX community would react, so I eventually gave up on it.


Finding that draft reminded me how much my workflow has changed since then. So, here’s my second attempt at writing this article. If you’re reading this… I finally hit Publish. πŸ˜…
