How this workflow works

Explore

ClaudeClaude — Capability probing(animated)

Before designing anything, someone spends real time in the model finding out what it can actually do reliably versus what it just sounds like it can do.

Validate

ZoomZoom — Desirability interviews

Separate from whether the model can do it — do people actually want an AI doing this step at all, or would they rather stay in control.

Prototype

FigmaFigma+CursorCursor — Wizard-of-Oz proto(animated)

The AI response gets faked by a human behind the curtain, so the UX around it can be tested before a single model call is wired up for real.

Evaluate

NotionNotion — Eval & guardrails

A written set of what good and unacceptable model output look like, plus the guardrails that catch the unacceptable kind before a user sees it.

→ flagged

Ship

LinearLinear — Ship behind a flag

The feature ships behind a flag to a small cohort first, since an AI feature's failure modes tend to surface with real, messy user input, not test data.
