Design Sprints are dead, long live the AI Sprints?

What I am about to show you is a potential application of GenAI to replace the current Design Sprint process. You’ll see the full process and results so you can judge the quality ( or not ) of it by yourself.
I had to trick the bot once or twice to get it to perform what I wanted but overall it was quite a smooth flow I would say. I could go from an initial problem to a ready-to-show prototype in under 4 hours! I’ll document Day 5 in a next post once I tested it on real people ;)

Myself: Can you summarize the Desing sprint process?

The bot: Certainly! Here’s a summary of the Design Sprint process:

The Design Sprint is a structured five-day process that helps teams tackle and solve complex problems through design thinking and rapid prototyping. The process was developed by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures and has been used by many successful companies to create new products, improve existing ones, and solve a wide range of business challenges.

Day 1: Understand and Define

• Set the stage and get the team on the same page
• Understand the problem and the users
• Identify the goals and define the challenge

Day 2: Diverge

• Brainstorm a wide range of solutions
• Sketch and share ideas
• Identify the most promising solutions

Day 3: Decide

• Review and critique the ideas
• Decide on the best solution
• Create a storyboard that outlines the solution

Day 4: Prototype

• Create a realistic, interactive prototype of the solution
• Use a variety of tools to build the prototype
• Focus on creating a prototype that can be tested with users

Day 5: Test

• Test the prototype with real users
• Observe and record feedback
• Identify areas for improvement

The Design Sprint process is intensive and focused, allowing teams to quickly move from problem to solution in just five days. It encourages collaboration, creativity, and experimentation, and provides a framework for rapid iteration and feedback.
