We started with a competitive analysis

Due to the nature of the project, our initial exercise was to do a competitive analysis in other platforms that feature communities, user interactivity and content creation.

Then gathered the main features

After gathering info, we organized each competitor with a 'how might we' exercise.
This allowed us to create a list of main features for the MVP.

Wireframes as the first iteration

After prioritizing the features we started sketching some screens for the initial idea of the product, which focused mostly on content shared by other people.

Second iteration deserved some brand love

After user testing the first wireframe some users stated that the platform felt like a place for people to consume content, but lacked on the content creation side, so we made some changes, new visuals, different hierarchy and call to actions.

Searching and connecting with people

Connecting people was the most important feature within the platform, we decided to allow people to search among different interests, including projects, location and skillset.

Content is king

last but not least, creating content was the core of the experience, this is how employees would share their knowledge, projects, learnings and insights

Learnings and next steps

This project gave us an exciting first glimpse into how conceptual LLMs can enhance knowledge-sharing platforms, empowering employees in large organizations to connect and collaborate better.

A new version of the product in 2025 could address these limitations and unlock new features, especially with AI and companion apps becoming increasingly popular.
