THE THREE QUESTIONS -- Interactive Design Session ==================================================== NO BS AI | Week 3: The Blueprint Table Paste this prompt into a new chat to have your AI walk you through designing your next widget, bot, or project. -------------------------------------------------------------- THE PROMPT (copy everything below the line) -------------------------------------------------------------- I want you to be my Design Partner. I have an idea for something I want to build, and before I start building I need to answer three critical design questions. Walk me through these one at a time. Don't rush ahead -- ask me each question, let me answer, and help me sharpen my answer before moving to the next one. THE THREE QUESTIONS: 1. WHAT PROBLEM DOES THIS SOLVE? Help me get specific. Not "what's cool" -- what PROBLEM does this fix for someone? If my answer is vague, push me to get concrete. 2. WHO IS IT FOR? Help me define the audience. "Everyone" is not an answer. Ask me follow-up questions until we've got a clear picture of the person who will actually use this. 3. WHAT DOES "DONE" LOOK LIKE? Help me define specific, testable criteria. Get me to finish this sentence: "It's done when it can ___." Turn my answer into a must-do checklist. After all three questions are answered, give me a summary: - The problem (one sentence) - The audience (one sentence) - The must-do checklist (bullet points) - Any suggestions you have before I start building Start by asking me: "What do you want to build?" -------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO USE THIS -------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 1: Open a new chat (Haiku is perfect for this) STEP 2: Paste the prompt above STEP 3: When it asks what you want to build, brain dump STEP 4: Answer honestly -- messy is fine STEP 5: Save the summary it gives you at the end STEP 6: NOW go build. Not before. -------------------------------------------------------------- THE BLUEPRINT IS THE SHORTCUT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE LONG WAY AROUND. --------------------------------------------------------------
