Tried using AI to simulate different user + stakeholder perspectives during ideation for Pinterest. It helped me generate a wider range of ideas and pushed my thinking beyond the usual patterns. Some ideas missed the mark, but the creative stretch was worth it. Next time: more context, less vagueness.

Tried using AI to remix early-stage ideas for Pinterest ideation. Some results were wild, others surprisingly insightful. It pushed me out of my usual patterns and gave me fresh angles to explore. Next time: more context + emotional framing to keep things grounded.
Tested AI as a creative prompt generator in the Ideate phase. Gave it user needs + constraints and asked for “how might we” and “what if” questions. Some prompts were super useful and helped reframe the challenge—others missed the mark. Still, a solid way to spark new directions.
Just ran an AI experiment to break out of safe ideas during ideation.
✅ It sparked fresh directions we wouldn’t have thought of
🤔 Some ideas were a little... out there
Still, it helped stretch our thinking and shake things up
Anyone else using AI to remix ideas or reframe problems?
Just tested AI’s ability to reframe user problems into concept ideas for Pinterest.
🧠 Some reframes were super creative and sparked new directions
🤷♀️ Others felt way off or too vague
Still—huge boost for variety + breaking out of ruts.
Anyone else using AI for reframing in ideation?
Just tested AI as a brainstorming buddy in the Ideate phase for a Pinterest project
🎨
✅ Helped me break out of the obvious
🤔 Some ideas were a little... generic
💡 Best part? Fast inspiration + fresh angles I wouldn’t have thought of
Would totally use it again—with tighter prompts next time.

Tried using AI to generate a user journey map.
The structure was okay, but it lacked emotional depth, personalization, and visuals—so it fell flat.
Helpful experiment, but I’d rather map with my team next time.
Just tested AI as a co-analyst 🧠—had it cluster user quotes into insight themes from our Pinterest research.
It was fast and spotted some cool patterns I missed, but still needed my judgment for depth + nuance.
Just ran an experiment using AI to turn messy journey maps + interviews into draft “how might we” statements. 🛠️
It saved time and surfaced patterns I might’ve missed — but still needed a human touch for nuance + creativity.
Next time: clearer prompts + tone guidance!
Asked AI to draft personas from Pinterest data.
✅ Found patterns fast
❗️Missing human spark
Next time: more context, less robot.
Anyone else tried this? Did yours feel alive or... not?
