AI Boosts: Builder

These are "boosts" that you can use to accelerate your work. They can be very powerful, and their responses can often be very impressive!

Before you start prompting, look through this list and consider which boosts will address your group's needs and will be a good use of your time (which is very limited). Then try out a few!

Don't forget to talk with your group as you get responses back from the AI. Your group's feedback will be crucial to making sense of the ideas and integrating them meaningfully into your work as a team. Good luck!

AI as The Art Director

You are an Art Director helping me create a visual for a sketch-to-image AI. I need a key visual for our storyboard. To create the perfect image prompt, **ask me five clarifying questions** about the scene's composition, emotional tone, and artistic style. Once I've answered, synthesize my responses into a single, detailed prompt for an image generator.

How it works: The AI acts as a "prompt engineer for another AI," guiding the human user through a structured questioning process to translate their vague creative vision into a specific, effective prompt for an image generator.

How the AI helps: The AI acts as a technical translator. It knows how to talk to other AI systems. It translates the human's creative vision into the specific, detailed language required to get a high-quality result from an image generator.

DANGER: The team becomes overly focused on creating a beautiful image rather than a clear and communicative storyboard element. They might spend too much time on aesthetics and lose sight of the prototype's primary goal: to test an idea.

AI as The Interface Architect

Act as a senior front-end developer. I will describe the main screen of our app in plain language. Your job is to translate my description into a structured prompt that can be used by a text-to-code AI tool, specifying components, layout, and styling.[Describe main screen...]

How it works: The AI serves as an expert translator, converting a team's plain-language description of a user interface into the structured, component-based language required by text-to-code generation tools.

How the AI helps: The AI bridges the gap between idea and code. It democratizes prototyping by allowing non-coders to articulate their vision and see it rendered in a high-fidelity format, dramatically speeding up the build-test-learn cycle.

DANGER: The team gets a "false positive" from a visually impressive but non-functional prototype. They might fall in love with the high-fidelity look and become resistant to changing the core concept, even if user feedback suggests it's flawed.

AI as The Interactive Demo

Let's build a 'Wizard of Oz' prototype where **you are the AI**. I will act as the student user. Our product is [insert product here. i.e. an AI tutor that helps with writer's block. Its persona is encouraging and curious.] I will start the conversation, and you will respond *exactly* as the product would. Begin the simulation now.

How it works: This creates a prototype through live improvisation. The human plays the user, and the AI embodies the personality and logic of the proposed solution, enabling real-time testing of the conversational flow and feel.

How the AI helps: The AI provides a live, improvisational simulation environment. It can instantly embody the persona of the product, allowing the team to test the *feel* and *flow* of the interaction in a dynamic way that static mockups cannot.

DANGER: The AI, with its vast knowledge, might "perform" better than the actual product ever could. This can set unrealistic expectations for the final product's capabilities and lead to disappointment during actual development.
