Pro Tips

  • Specify audience: Mention "Designers only" vs "Cross-functional team" so AI tailors preparation accordingly
  • Include research context: Mention user research or data so AI can suggest how to present it in the review
  • Request time allocation: Ask "Create 20-minute presentation outline with timing for each section"
  • For stakeholder reviews: Ask "Prepare for executive presentation" for high-level, business-focused prep
  • Save as template: Reuse the review preparation structure for future design reviews
