But, it\u2019s time to cut through that noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today let\u2019s talk about how to leverage AI, not just as a buzzword, but as a practical tool for boosting your efficiency, generating ideas, and ultimately making the digital world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We covered AI in UX optimization on a recent podcast episode of Drive and Convert. Listen to the full episode below for more context.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/e\/6a3085fe\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-can-either-help-or-harm-your-digital-improvement-efforts\">AI can either help or harm your digital improvement efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a digital leader, finding ways to streamline processes and improve user experience is crucial. Especially as the holiday season adds chaos to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can be a tool in your toolkit to help your digital improvement efforts. But, if used incorrectly, it can also harm them. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AI is trained on biased information:<\/strong> The tool is trained on certain public information and data sets. That public information and data are biased toward certain users and populations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AI can state false information as fact: <\/strong>AI can be extremely convincing, while at the same time being completely wrong. Outputs aren\u2019t fact-checked and can be misrepresented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also, of course, the question of the ethical use of AI and how it might be plagiarizing creators, which I won\u2019t get into today. I encourage you to do your own research with the mindset that you can and should be using AI to support your work. But, you should be doing it in a way that helps, not harms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s start with an overarching caveat that the human touch is still pivotal to user experience optimization and digital experience improvement in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using AI, researchers and strategists have to use critical thinking to create the correct constraints, requirements, and prompts for AI tools and then sift through the output to select relevant points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can\u2019t replace real user research. The behaviors and motivations of your users are unique. The same way we <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/ecommerce-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wouldn\u2019t recommend<\/a> you copy everything a competitor is doing because their audience and goals are almost guaranteed to be different to yours, we don\u2019t recommend you replace AI with talking to and testing with your own users. Instead, it can help make those processes more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here are a few ways you can use AI to support your digital optimization efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverage-a-brainstorm-buddy\">Leverage a \u2018brainstorm buddy\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a remote worker, AI can and should become your virtual brainstorming buddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same way you would lead a team in a brainstorming session or go to a colleague for ideas, prompt AI with specifics on what you are looking for, and watch the ideas flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of the tool, you\u2019ll need to be specific, provide constraints, share guidelines on your audience, and ask questions. The more precise the instructions, the more relevant and useful the suggestions generated by the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t like the ideas generated, continue asking questions and iterating on your prompt until it sparks inspiration. Remember to use it to brainstorm, not to do the actual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some specific examples of AI as a great brainstorming buddy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask for examples of use cases you are trying to create in your work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build a list of competitors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use it as a search supplement to Google<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share your own ideas with the tool and ask it to identify blindspots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-initial-prototypes-for-validation\">Create initial prototypes for validation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use AI as a tool for creating prototypes. It is a low-effort, high-impact way to get validation on your ideas before you write any code or invest in design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get initial feedback on the prototypes from users, your designers and developers can take the AI prototype and use it as a guide or inspiration for the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some specific use case examples are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload a sketch of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/wireframe-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wireframe<\/a> and use an AI-backed tool to create a higher-fidelity prototype<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modify a Shopify template based on prompts you give the tool and create an initial artifact that you can hand off to a developer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feed the AI tool your product or landing page and have it generate initial filler copy with higher value than lorem ipsum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boost the realism of your imagery by sharing some of your product images and using AI to generate them in situ before you invest in a photoshoot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a starting point and a way to avoid a time and cost investment in something you aren\u2019t sure will deliver results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-c842da9 reusable-block-2-column good-question-block\" data-block-id=\"c842da9\"><style>.stk-c842da9{max-width:1500px !important;margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important}.stk-c842da9-column{max-width:941px !important}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-c842da9{--stk-col-order-1:2 !important;--stk-col-order-2:1 !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-c842da9-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-8993c44 horizontal-form-container\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"8993c44\"><style>.stk-8993c44-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;background-color:#c3ddf0 !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;max-width:701px !important;padding-top:40px !important;padding-right:35px !important;padding-bottom:40px !important;padding-left:35px !important}.stk-8993c44{margin-top:0px !important}.stk-8993c44-container:before{background-color:#c3ddf0 !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-8993c44-container{padding-bottom:60px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-8993c44-container{padding-bottom:60px !important}}<\/style><style class=\"stk-custom-css\">.stk-8993c44 figure{margin:0 !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-8993c44-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-8993c44-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-791f1b3\" id=\"span-style-color-0277-c-0-class-stk-highlight-enjoying-this-article-span\" data-block-id=\"791f1b3\"><style>.stk-791f1b3{margin-bottom:12px !important}.stk-791f1b3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:36px !important;color:#ffffff !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-791f1b3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:36px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-791f1b3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:24px !important}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #0277c0;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Enjoying this article?<\/span><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-30f99ae\" data-block-id=\"30f99ae\"><style>.stk-30f99ae{margin-bottom:20px !important}.stk-30f99ae .stk-block-text__text{color:#ffffff !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Subscribe to our newsletter, Good Question, to get insights like this sent straight to your inbox every week.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady = window.hsFormsOnReady || [];\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady.push(()=>{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.forms.create({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 5834619,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"64ede74e-e88f-44c7-996f-78859799755a\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1768315363000-2290803630\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregion: \"na2\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcssRequired: \".submitted-message { overflow: auto;

Don\u2019t skip the details; that is where the nuggets of gold are for improving your digital experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, AI can help you keep that information high level for people who don\u2019t work on the day-to-day of your site or app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visualize-personas-and-the-customer-journey\">Visualize personas and the customer journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can be used as a creative partner to turn theoretical ideas into something visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create visual representations of your personas as a supplement to some of the more fact-based research you use to build that profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe your user journey (steps from research to buying to conversion) and ask AI to draft a journey map that you can iterate on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask for draft designs of specific website pages based on your user personas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Small companies can even use AI to create brand assets to get them started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-support-your-user-research\">Support your user research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a nuance that comes with <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/ux-research-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user research<\/a> that AI just can\u2019t understand yet, but you can leverage the tool as support on both the front end and back end of user tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generate ideas for questions or tasks with AI, and then when you have your research, AI can look at large sets of data to find focus points. Strategists and human brain power can then analyze those areas for insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, try using AI to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Draft interview questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draft tasks for <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/user-testing-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user testing<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feed videos into AI and ask for a simple sentiment analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell AI to extract themes from user testing scripts or videos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask it to categorize themes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A drawback of this approach is that if you rely too much on the tool, you can lose a lot of the value from your research. And you also won\u2019t learn about user testing as you do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, just remember it\u2019s user testing, not AI testing. The goal is to leverage AI to supplement human insights and not let it hinder you as you build your expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-by-using-ai-in-small-user-experience-optimization-instances\">Start by using AI in small user experience optimization instances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is to say, if you haven\u2019t already, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/jakobnielsenphd.substack.com\/p\/get-started-ai-for-ux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start using AI<\/a> now. It will put you on the path to becoming an expert (which will be crucial as the functionality of the tool improves) and increase your day-to-day efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still can\u2019t rely on AI to solve your complicated customer and user problems. Instead, use it in your toolkit and start getting familiar with how it can support your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI, like most efficiency hacks, is not the silver bullet. But it can serve as a trusted sidekick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its power lies in practical, targeted implementation across your processes. Complement that with a solid understanding of your users and the tool can enhance, not replace, your optimization efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-ln54dl1 reusable-block-2-column good-question-block\" data-block-id=\"ln54dl1\"><style>.stk-ln54dl1{max-width:1500px !important;margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important}.stk-ln54dl1-column{max-width:941px !important}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-ln54dl1{--stk-col-order-1:2 !important;--stk-col-order-2:1 !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-ln54dl1-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-mugasbq horizontal-form-container\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"mugasbq\"><style>.stk-mugasbq-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;background-color:#c3ddf0 !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;max-width:701px !important;padding-top:40px !important;padding-right:35px !important;padding-bottom:40px !important;padding-left:35px !important}.stk-mugasbq{margin-top:0px !important}.stk-mugasbq-container:before{background-color:#c3ddf0 !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-mugasbq-container{padding-bottom:60px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-mugasbq-container{padding-bottom:60px !important}}<\/style><style class=\"stk-custom-css\">.stk-mugasbq figure{margin:0 !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-mugasbq-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-mugasbq-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-68rctdh\" id=\"span-style-color-0277-c-0-class-stk-highlight-enjoying-this-article-span\" data-block-id=\"68rctdh\"><style>.stk-68rctdh{margin-bottom:12px !important}.stk-68rctdh .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:36px !important;color:#ffffff !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-68rctdh .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:36px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-68rctdh .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:24px !important}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #0277c0;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Enjoying this article?<\/span><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-559o2ng\" data-block-id=\"559o2ng\"><style>.stk-559o2ng{margin-bottom:20px !important}.stk-559o2ng .stk-block-text__text{color:#ffffff !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Subscribe to our newsletter, Good Question, to get insights like this sent straight to your inbox every week.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady = window.hsFormsOnReady || [];\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady.push(()=>{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.forms.create({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 5834619,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"64ede74e-e88f-44c7-996f-78859799755a\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1768315363000-0766420301\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregion: \"na2\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcssRequired: \".submitted-message { overflow: auto; } .hs-form-88422a7d-0355-4f27-b674-4b9fcc71560c, .hs-form-ac90f61a-a614-4bcd-b57a-18cd0e91ceff { color: #fff }\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t})});\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hbspt-form\" id=\"hbspt-form-1768315363000-0766420301\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tkugp-items-wrap\"><div class=\"tkugp-bottomcontent\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":106124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","wpcf-summary":["AI can either help or harm your digital improvement efforts.
