Setting up a Prototype Section in Userology

Prototype Sections allows you to get feedback on your Figma prototypes. A prototype section can be added anywhere in the interview plan and requires you to provide a Figma prototype link and brief task that the user needs to perform. We will cover how to set up tasks, use the AI rephrase feature, and generate an AI discussion guide in Userology.

Step 4: Set Start and Goal Screens for Tasks

Tasks are generally associated with prototype testing. To set up tasks:

  • Define the start screen.
  • Define the goal screen.
  • Tip: The AI will understand that the user is expected to navigate from the start screen to the goal screen to complete the task.

Step 5: Improve Tasks with AI

After defining the basic task detail, you can use AI to make it follow best practices. The AI feature allows you to modify tasks and make them more scenario-based.

  • Representation of a Real-Life Scenario

  • Leading language

  • Internal Keyword

  • Unclear Instructions

  • Incomplete Instructions

Step 6: Generate and Edit an AI Discussion Guide

To generate an AI discussion guide:

  • Click on 'Generate AI Discussion Guide.'
  • The AI will analyze the prototype, map the user journey, and create a detailed guide.
  • Customization: You can modify the guide as needed to suit your requirements.
