Meet UCDOps®

Your UCD operation. Run by you, with AI in the loop.

The core UCD skills — research to working prototype — operated as one agent you direct. It does the work. You keep the judgement, and the sign-off.

Sign in

Your whole process, connected.

Discovery

Paste your transcripts, workshop notes, or conversation logs. Out come pain points, themes, and insights — each one traced back to the verbatim quote that produced it. Synthesis you can defend in a readout, not a black box you have to take on trust.

Definition

The full definition stack: solution-free problem statements, an assumption map, How Might We opportunities, and testable hypotheses — each carried forward from the Discovery evidence, not started from a blank page. The alignment artefacts your stakeholders sign off before anyone opens Figma.

Delivery

User stories with acceptance criteria, end-to-end journeys, screen copy that holds its tone, a UI plan, and a documented design system. Every artefact cites the one before it, so a story traces to a problem, and a problem traces to a quote. Nothing drifts.

Prototype

Your primary flow, built and clickable — ready for usability testing, demos, and show-and-tells, not a slide deck about it. Everything beyond that flow is specced and documented, so the next sprint starts with a map.

One prompt versus one process.

Generic AI gives you one clever answer to one prompt. UCDOps® Agent runs the core UCD skills as connected, stage-gated steps — each built on verified evidence, each waiting for your sign-off before it moves on. You get the speed of AI with the rigour of a real process.

Hours, not weeks — a working prototype of your primary flow, from raw transcripts, in a single working session.

UCDOps® Agent matches the rigour of a full manual UCD pipeline — connected end to end, every decision traced to evidence, your sign-off at each gate — in a fraction of the time. The difference from generic AI isn't speed. It's that you can prove the work.

Core UCD skills, one continuous thread.

Every stage cites the last, every output traces to a quote, and nothing ships without your sign-off.

Discovery

Pain points, themes, and insights — pulled from your raw material, each linked to a real quote.

Definition

Solution-free problem statements, framed from the evidence.

An assumption map that surfaces what you're taking on faith — effort versus value, ranked by what to test first.

How Might We opportunities — the bridge from problem to ideas worth exploring.

Testable hypotheses with success criteria, ready for your next round of validation.

Delivery

Given / When / Then stories with acceptance criteria your engineers can build from.

Screen copy and tone guidelines that keep the product voice consistent across touchpoints.

End-to-end journeys mapping every step from first touch to outcome.

Screens and components, mapped back to the stories and journeys that justify them.

Design tokens, patterns, and components — documented so the product stays coherent as it grows.

Prototype

A working, testable prototype of your key flow — not slides, not a mockup.

FAQs

What is UCDOps® Agent?

An AI agent for User Centred Design teams. It runs the full UCD process — research synthesis through to a working prototype — with every artefact traced back to real evidence and your sign-off at each step. You operate it; it does the assembly.

Who is it for?

UCD practitioners: user researchers, interaction and content designers, service and UX designers, and design leads — especially on greenfield, discovery-to-prototype work where the whole process has to hang together.

How is it different from generic AI chat?

Generic AI gives one answer to one prompt. UCDOps® Agent runs the core UCD skills as connected, stage-gated steps — each built on verified evidence, each waiting for your approval before it moves on. You get the speed of AI with the rigour of a real process, and a trail you can defend.

Does it replace designers?

No — it's the opposite. You stay in control: you direct the work and approve every artefact before the next one is built. UCDOps® Agent does the assembly so you keep the craft, the judgement, and the decisions. It's a UCD operation you run, not a replacement for the people who run it.

What can I feed it?

Almost anything from your real work — paste text, attach documents (DOCX, PDF, Markdown, TXT, CSV), or link Figma. Then pick the role that matches what you're doing:

  • User Researcherinterview transcripts, workshop notes, discussion guides, research questions
  • Business Analystbusiness goals, stakeholder maps, requirements, process flows, success metrics
  • UX Designerproblem statements, user flows, journeys, critiques, FigJam or Figma links
  • UI Plannerscreen inventories, layout goals, component plans, design-system constraints
  • Prototype Designerprototype briefs, fidelity choices, test scenarios, Figma frames
  • Content Designerdraft copy, tone and voice guidance, microcopy, terminology lists

Or just describe what you need — the agent adapts to the role you choose.
