Why This Prompt Works
This prompt generates a complete interview guide with non-leading question design, which is critical for avoiding confirmation bias during feature validation. The structured flow from warm-up through pain point exploration to value assessment mirrors best practices from professional UX research, producing a guide you can use verbatim in real interviews.
When to Use This Prompt
- Before investing development resources in a new feature to validate demand with real users
- When you have a feature concept and need to understand whether users see enough value to adopt it
- During discovery sprints where you need to rapidly create interview materials for multiple feature hypotheses
Tips for Better Results
- Describe the proposed feature in detail including the user problem it solves so questions target the right pain points
- Specify your target participant profile (role, company size, experience level) for more relevant warm-up questions
- Include whether the feature is free or paid so the AI includes appropriate willingness-to-pay exploration questions
