Example

For the article on A/B testing dreamtech, the following prompting approach was used:

Session 1

Grounding

1. Requested list of innovations in dream technology and neuraltech, as well as things that might exist in the near future in this space (Response from AI included warning that its training data was capped at April 2024 and so more recent innovations would not be included and the reality of the field may have changed since that time)
2. Confirmed that this was a speculative brainstorming exercise, then requested more information about one of the items listed in the AI’s response, dream-based skill learning
3. Requested list of concepts, practices, and hallmarks of UX Strategy, along with what that might look like in a world where dreamtech was ubiquitous

Exploring

1. Requested expansion of several of the topics, many of which looked interesting, such as dream archiving
2. Requested a list of speculative academic article topics around UX testing and dreamtech

At this point, I needed to run to an appointment and so wrapped up the session

Session 2

Grounding

1. Requested list of elements of dream technology that could be interesting to a UX designer in the future

Exploring

1. Requested outline of article title suggested in list from the end of Session 1, “A/B Testing in the Land of Nod: Optimizing Dream Interfaces Through Iterative Design”

Building

1. Requested Introduction from outline
2. Requested Background section from outline
