Overview

Context

Overconsumption is a glaring problem. As collectables florish, how can we assist with guiding more meaningful collections?

The Idea

Artifact leverages chain-prompting with Chat-GPT4o and Perplexity Shop to build narrative-led collections.

My Role

I prompt engineered for GPT 4o and Perplexity, developed a prototype on Figma, and conducted wizard-of-oz usability tests with 3 participants (6 total).

Curate

Upload your collections and build your library.

Browse

Browse relevant items, powered by prompt-chaining GPT-4o with Perplexity shop.

Personalize

Save items, set budgets per collection, and build your library.

Design Direction

Influenced by SSENSE, with its principal focus on products, Artifact desires to construct thoughtful collections aimed at challenging overconsumption.

Core Feature

Take or upload pictures, add relevant information, and have a custom AI assistant deliver narrative-driven collectibles.

Future Considerations

Guiding Questions

1) Is there ever curation without an algorithm?

2) How can we position AI as a companion rather than a tool?

3) How can we cultivate connection with everyday items?

Feature Explorations

1) Marketplace feature where curators can list their collectables.

2) Curate feature to assess which collectables to keep and which to sell.

3) Personable AI assistant.
