Background
Kosmic.ai is a cutting-edge platform that leverages artificial intelligence to deliver innovative solutions for businesses and individuals. As the Lead Product Designer, my mission was to create an intuitive and engaging user experience that could bridge the gap between complex AI technology and everyday users. The platform aimed to empower users with tools like AI-driven content generation, data analysis, and automation, but the initial product faced challenges in user engagement, adoption, and scalability.
Core problem
The challenges identified during the initial analysis included:
Complex User Interface: The platform's interface was overwhelming for non-technical users, resulting in low engagement.
Lack of Onboarding Guidance: New users struggled to understand the product's capabilities and how to get started.
Fragmented User Journeys: The workflows were inconsistent, causing friction in achieving desired outcomes.
Limited Personalization: The platform lacked customization options, making it difficult for users to tailor the experience to their needs.
These issues created barriers to adoption, limiting the platform's potential to serve a broader audience.
The Approach for Kosmic.ai
We took a data-driven approach, analyzing drop-off points in the user journey and conducting surveys to better understand user frustrations. With this feedback, we developed a new design strategy focused on ease of use and reducing friction during critical tasks.
