Designing with AI: A Full Journey
From Idea to Product in 04:38 Hours
​
-
Designed a cross-platform sports watch companion app in just 4h 38m.
-
Used AI tools (ChatGPT-5, Perplexity, UX Pilot, NotebookLM) to compress weeks of work into hours.
-
Defined clear information architecture, navigation flows, and polished UI concepts.
-
Proved how AI can act as a true design partner for fast-paced, high-impact projects
Challenge
Sports watch apps are powerful but often overwhelming: complex navigation, hidden features, and data without context.
My challenge:
to design a unified, intuitive, and actionable platform that delivers smarter insights and a simpler experience, while showcasing how AI can accelerate product design.
Process (High-Level)
AI-Powered Research - Market + user insights, competitive benchmarking.
Personas & Flows - Empathy map, IA, navigation principles.
Design Concept - UX Pilot outputs refined in Figma.
Impact - Validated how AI accelerates design without compromising quality.
Solution Highlights
-
Personalized dashboard with clear daily training recommendations.
-
Search-first navigation replacing deep menus.
-
Post-workout feedback with actionable insights, not just numbers.
-
Cross-device experience (mobile + web) with synced personalization.
Impact
This sprint proved that AI can amplify product design:
​
-
Reduced research & concept time from weeks → hours.
-
Delivered structured IA, navigation, and design direction.
-
Demonstrated a scalable framework for future development.
My Role vs. AI’s Role
​​
-
My Role: Defined the challenge, asked the right questions, structured flows, refined UI in Figma.
-
AI’s Role: Accelerated market/user research, produced draft specs, generated variations for me to evaluate and iterate on.
