Prompt

[Paste stakeholder feedback]

Provide:

1. Feedback Interpretation

   - Areas to investigate further
   - Questions to ask for clarification

   - Medium priority (investigate first)
   - Low priority (nice to have)

4. Clarifying Questions
   - Questions to ask stakeholder for better understanding
   - What additional context would help
   - How to validate assumptions

5. Alternative Interpretations
   - Different ways the feedback could be interpreted

Format as actionable design guidance with clear next steps.

How to use

  1. 1Copy the vague stakeholder feedback you received. Replace [Paste stakeholder feedback] with the actual feedback text
  2. 2Add context before the prompt: Describe the design context and what you're working on. Example: "This is feedback on our new checkout flow redesign. Current design: [describe briefly]. Feedback: [paste feedback]."
  3. 3If you have design files: Upload screenshots or paste design descriptions. Say "This is the design they're referring to: [paste screenshot or description]"
  4. 4If you know the stakeholder: Mention their role. Say "Feedback from: [Product Manager/Executive/Client]"
  5. 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
  6. 6Review the interpretation: Check what the feedback likely means and the underlying concerns
  7. 7Use the clarifying questions: Ask the stakeholder the suggested questions to get better understanding
  8. 8Apply the actionable guidance: Use the prioritized recommendations to make design updates

Pro Tips

  • Include design context: Mention what design/screen the feedback is about so AI can provide contextual interpretation
  • Request prioritization: Ask "Rank these actions by impact" if you get many recommendations
  • For ambiguous feedback: Use this prompt to generate clarifying questions you can ask stakeholders
  • Save interpretation notes: Document how you interpreted feedback for future reference and team alignment
  • Use for team alignment: Share the interpreted feedback with your team to ensure everyone understands the same way
