OVERVIEW

From one-shot generation to a controlled writing workflow.

The concept explores how AI-assisted writing can feel faster without hiding the decisions, edits and context that make the final work trustworthy.

AI could generate copy quickly, but users struggled to direct, refine and trust it.

Most AI writers collapse the process into one prompt and one answer. DraftFlow turns generation into a structured sequence: define the brief, control the prompt, compare revisions, edit the result and publish with a clear history of every decision.

ROLE

Product strategy · UX/UI · plugin experience · design-system direction

FOCUS

Prompting · revision control · content editing · publishing

DELIVERABLES

Research · workflow mapping · wireframes · responsive app and plugin UI

STATUS

Independent concept project

CONCEPT

Previous Concept

The earlier concept stage I had built as an initial MVP.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Writers were working around AI instead of directing it.

The problem board maps opaque prompts, full-document rewrites, lost versions, inconsistent tone and constant context switching between an AI tool and the CMS.

Problem statement board · unclear generation, revision friction and the opportunity for a controlled writing workflow.

PRODUCT STRATEGY

Make every generation visible and reversible.

Four principles guide every prompt, revision and publishing surface.

01

Prompt control

Structure goals, audience, tone, sources and constraints.

02

Revision control

Compare, accept, reject or regenerate at block level.

03

Output ownership

Keep the final copy editable, portable and versioned.

04

Embedded delivery

Bring the same workflow into Shopify and WordPress.

RESEARCH AND WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

A structure built around briefs, prompts, drafts and decisions.

The architecture keeps context attached to the content as it moves from idea to generation, revision, approval and publication.

WORKFLOW EXPLORATION

Making control feel calm and approachable.

Early explorations tested prompt anatomy, revision states, version history and ways to separate AI suggestions from user-owned copy.

PRODUCT EXPLORATION

Turning AI generation into a collaborative editor.

Early concepts tested how prompt controls, document editing and AI suggestions could stay visible without overwhelming the writing surface.

PRODUCT ECOSYSTEM

One workflow across app, Shopify and WordPress.

The same prompt, revision and approval model adapts across the standalone web app, Shopify admin and WordPress editor.

DESIGN SYSTEM

A system for prompts, differences and generated states.

Clear authorship, keyboard access, readable differences and reusable workflow patterns are foundations rather than finishing touches.

OUTCOME

A complete AI writing concept with a credible product story.

DraftFlow AI combines product strategy, workflow architecture, responsive UI, revision control and embedded CMS experiences in one connected case study.

Controlled

Prompts and generation

Reversible

Revision and version history

Embedded

Standalone, Shopify and WordPress

Ownable

Editable output with clear authorship

START WITH THE PROBLEM

Have a product, store or digital experience that needs clearer thinking?

I help SaaS founders, Shopify brands and agencies diagnose friction, design better journeys and deliver interfaces that can actually be built.
