Where AI speeds up my design work — and where I keep the responsibility
I use ChatGPT to structure briefs, challenge flows, write contextual UX copy, build artifacts, and audit screens. Claude is also part of the toolset I am exploring. The value is not the number of screens AI produces; it is whether I can still account for the source, assumption, and decision.
From fragmented inputs to a designable question
In Corevia, AI helped me structure four roles around a shared order lifecycle; in ParentMind Hub, it helped organise desk research, JTBD, and flows around SOS and Recovery. I ask it to expose conflicts between shared events and role-specific decisions, and between survey signals and untested conclusions.
My rule: bring verifiable material, mark assumptions, and ask for failure paths and open questions. A brief is not a field study. Thirty-one parent responses cannot be converted by AI into proof of intervention effectiveness.
- Input: briefs, screens, documents, open questions.
- Output: IA, flows, options, and validation checklists.
- Review: return to the source and my actual contribution.
ChatGPT helps me build and audit, not decide for me
Across portfolio and UI artifacts, I have used ChatGPT to build reviewable prototypes and pages, write EN/VI copy for each context, and inspect component, responsive, and interaction inconsistencies. I have also had to catch missing Auto Layout, lookalike components without instances, unstyled text, and mismatched icons. Speed does not guarantee quality.
I treat every generated screen as a proposal to QA: are labels understandable, states meaningful, Vietnamese diacritics visible, and failure paths recoverable? If visual QA or post-launch data is missing, I say so instead of declaring an unverified improvement.
Claude in my workflow: a second lens, not a fabricated achievement
Claude is among the AI tools I am exploring. I prepared a brief for Claude Extension to review the structure and starter content of UX Learn & Share on Discord, and looked into Claude ↔ Figma MCP. Preparation does not mean Claude completed that community or built a Corevia Figma screen.
The method I am developing is to give one tool a sourced brief to structure options and use another as a reviewer of assumptions, edge cases, and UX writing. I keep only what I can explain from the product context and artifact. This is an evolving practice, not a validated automation or usability result.
The boundaries I will not outsource
AI cannot interview parents, review sensitive guidance as a qualified expert, observe a driver in weak connectivity, or measure post-launch business impact. Personal data should not be poured into a prompt for convenience.
If AI produces ten plausible solutions, my job is to choose the right question, discard unsupported claims, articulate trade-offs, and validate with people. The goal is a better decision—not simply a faster screen.
- Separate project facts from hypotheses and AI suggestions.
- Review edge cases, privacy, and implementability.
- Never claim a test or outcome that did not happen.
I want AI to be a collaborator that helps me think deeper and move faster—not a glossy layer over what I still do not understand.
