What if…

An app that delivers short, conversational lessons through AI-driven chat, allowing users to learn at their own pace with minimal cognitive load and real-time feedback. This case study details our journey from research and ideation to a lean design process that prioritized high-fidelity testing for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), now in alpha testing.

Discovering key user needs

  • Users often felt overwhelmed by long videos and dense text, making it difficult to stay engaged.

  • Many expressed a desire for quick, effective learning formats that would replace traditional, text-heavy content.

  • Professionals with busy schedules emphasized the need for flexibility, preferring lessons they could complete in small, manageable segments rather than committing to extended study sessions.

HMW's

  • HMW make learning engaging without overwhelming users with long content?

  • HMW adapt content to fit each user’s pace and schedule?

  • HMW create a conversational learning experience rather than a passive one?

  • HMW reinforce learning through short, interactive feedback loops?

Initial concepts and user flow

To quickly validate our core ideas within the scope of an MVP, we created very lo-fi wireframes focused on essential screens. This allowed us to test basic interactions before moving into high-fidelity design, ensuring that the MVP met the core user needs.

Accelerating to Hi-Fi design for fast validation

Given the need for quick validation of our MVP, we moved directly from lo-fi wireframes to high-fidelity designs. This shift allowed us to test a near-final version of the product, focusing on real user responses to the visual and interactive aspects of the app. Our high-fidelity designs showcased polished UI elements, colors, and layouts that would resonate with our user personas.

Short, adaptive lessons in char format

The app’s chat-based lessons provide users with short, adaptive interactions, helping them progress without feeling overwhelmed. Each session can be completed within a few minutes, offering flexibility and accommodating different schedules.

Dark mode for enhanced comfort

Due to the nature of the learning application, we included a dark mode option, allowing users to comfortably study at different times of the day, including low-light environments.

Key Benefits: The dark mode option enhances comfort for users studying at night, reduces eye strain, and aligns with modern UI accessibility standards, supporting a range of user preferences and environmental contexts.

User Feedback: Early testers noted the dark mode’s ease on the eyes, with one user commenting, It feels relaxing and makes it easier to focus on content without the harshness of a bright screen.

Real time personalized feedback

Incorporating real-time feedback directly after each interaction gave users the support they needed to stay motivated and confident in their progress.

Progress tracking

We designed a progress-tracking feature with badges and milestones to help users visually track their accomplishments. Progress indicators on the home screen provide a quick overview, reinforcing motivation and helping users gauge their success at a glance.

Certifications and achievements

To add value to users’ learning journeys, we included a certifications feature that rewards users with a certificate upon course completion. This recognition provides users with a sense of achievement and validates their progress in a tangible way.

Key design elements

The high-fidelity screens represent a refined, visually cohesive experience:

Due to NDA protection and the product’s stage, some parts of the designs are censored.

Splash and pre-onboarding

A warm and inviting entry point that introduces users to the app’s focus on accessible, AI-driven learning. Providing a quick introduction to the app’s benefits and chat-based learning format, setting clear expectations for new users.

Register screens

Streamlined for simplicity, with easy login options for returning users to minimize friction.

Home and courses list

Organized for clarity, with visible progress indicators that enable users to navigate and choose courses quickly.

Chat - Conversational AI agent interface

Showcase the adaptive chat interface, making learning feel interactive and responsive.

Certifications and progress tracking

Allows users to view achievements and track progress, reinforcing motivation and engagement.

Alpha testing and next steps

With the high-fidelity design complete, the app has moved into alpha testing to validate its core features and user experience. This approach allows us to gather immediate feedback on both the design and functionality, ensuring the MVP aligns with user expectations. Initial feedback has been positive, with 87% of users indicating increased engagement and motivation due to the chat format, instant feedback, progress tracking, and the addition of dark mode for improved usability.

Projected outcomes

Alpha testing will provide additional insights to refine the MVP before a broader release, ensuring that each feature supports user needs and expectations. Based on user responses, we anticipate improved retention and course completion rates, driven by the app’s flexible, interactive approach and adaptable UI.
