UCDOps® Agent

Ship real work.
Keep the craft.

Core UCD skills. One agent.

From the first transcript to a working prototype — every artefact evidence-led, every step yours to approve.

Designed like a pipeline, not a chat window.

UCDOps® Agent runs connected UCD skills — research synthesis through to a working prototype — with every artefact traced to source and a human approval gate at each step.

Method
Evidence-led UCD pipeline agent
For
UCD practitioners and design teams
Stage
Discovery → Prototype

Your whole process, connected.

Four stages. One evidence chain. Nothing ships without your sign-off.

01 / DISCOVER

Evidence-led from the first transcript.

Paste interview transcripts, workshop notes, or conversation logs. UCDOps® Agent finds the pain points, themes, and insights — and traces every finding back to the words someone actually said.

Method
Research synthesis
Input
Interview transcripts, notes
Output
Themes → insights → evidence map
Approval
Human-reviewed at each step
Discovery — evidence-led research synthesis from transcripts

02 / DEFINE

Problems before pixels.

Solution-free problem statements, an assumption map, How Might We opportunities, and testable hypotheses. The whole definition stack your stakeholders can align on before anyone opens a design tool.

Method
Problem framing
Input
Synthesised insights
Output
Problems, HMW, hypotheses
Approval
Human-reviewed at each step
Definition — problem statements and hypotheses before design

03 / DEVELOP

Stories, journeys, and design specs — connected.

User stories with acceptance criteria, screen copy that holds its tone, end-to-end journeys, a UI plan, and a documented design system. Each artefact cites the one before it, so nothing drifts from the evidence.

Method
Specification
Input
Validated problems and hypotheses
Output
Stories, journeys, UI plan, design system
Approval
Human-reviewed at each step
Delivery — connected stories, journeys, and design specs

04 / DELIVER

A working product, not a slide deck.

Your most important flow, fully built and ready for user testing, demos, and show-and-tells. Everything else documented for what comes next.

Method
Prototype build
Input
UI plan and user stories
Output
Working prototype for testing
Approval
Human-reviewed at each step
Prototype — a working product ready for testing

Every artefact cites the one before it, so nothing drifts from what people actually said.

Built different. By design.

Generic AI gives you one clever answer to one prompt. UCDOps® Agent runs the core UCD skills as stage-gated steps — each building on verified evidence, each waiting for your approval before it moves on. Speed with a paper trail, not a single-shot guess.

Hours, not weeks — a working prototype of your primary flow, from raw transcripts, in a single working session.

"it takes as long as it takes"

UCDOps® Agent matches the rigour of a full manual UCD pipeline — the core UCD skills, connected end to end, evidence traced to source, human sign-off at each gate — at a fraction of the elapsed time. The difference from generic AI isn't speed; it's the paper trail.

Core UCD skills. One agent.

Core UCD skills, one continuous thread. Every stage cites the last, every output traces to a quote, and nothing ships without your sign-off.

Research synthesis — evidence-led insights from transcripts

01 / RESEARCH SYNTHESIS

Research synthesis

Pain points, themes, and insights pulled from your raw material. Every finding linked to a real quote, so you can defend it in the room.

Problem definition — solution-free statements from evidence

02 / PROBLEM DEFINITION

Problem definition

Solution-free problem statements stakeholders can rally around — framed from the evidence, not from someone's pet feature.

Learn more
Assumption mapping — effort versus value prioritisation

03 / ASSUMPTION MAPPING

Assumption mapping

An effort-versus-value map that surfaces what you're taking on faith and ranks what to test first.

Learn more
How Might We — reframing problems as opportunities

04 / HOW MIGHT WE

How Might We

The riskiest assumptions reframed as open opportunities — the bridge from problem to ideas worth exploring.

Learn more
Design hypotheses — testable beliefs with success criteria

05 / HYPOTHESES

Hypotheses

Testable beliefs with explicit success criteria, ready to drop into your next round of validation.

Learn more
User stories — capabilities with acceptance criteria

06 / USER STORIES

User stories

Given / When / Then stories with acceptance criteria your engineers can build straight from.

Learn more
UX content design — plain, purposeful interface language

07 / UX CONTENT

UX content

Screen copy and tone guidelines that keep the product's voice consistent across every touchpoint.

Learn more
User journeys — end-to-end experience mapping

08 / USER JOURNEYS

User journeys

End-to-end flows mapping every step from first touch to outcome, so gaps show up before code does.

Learn more
UI design planning — screens, components, and states

09 / UI PLAN

UI plan

Screens and components mapped back to the stories and journeys that justify them — the blueprint for the interface.

Learn more
Design systems — reusable tokens and components at scale

10 / DESIGN SYSTEM

Design system

Tokens, patterns, and documented components that stay coherent as the product grows.

Learn more
Prototyping — tangible experiences for learning before build

11 / PROTOTYPE

Prototype

A working, testable prototype of your key flow — not slides, not a mockup. Something people can actually use.

FAQ's

What is UCDOps® Agent?

An AI agent for User Centred Design teams. It runs the full UCD process — the core skills from research synthesis through to a working prototype — with every artefact traced back to real evidence and a human approval gate at each step.

Who is it for?

UCD teams: user researchers, interaction designers, content designers, service designers, UX designers, and design and UCD leads — especially on greenfield discovery-to-prototype work.

How is it different from generic AI chat?

Generic AI gives one answer to one prompt. UCDOps® Agent runs stage-gated steps, each building on verified evidence and waiting for your approval before moving on — so you get speed with a paper trail, not a single-shot guess.

Does it replace designers?

No. It keeps a human in the loop at every stage. You approve every artefact before the next one is built. It does the assembly so your team keeps the craft and the judgement.

What can I feed it?

Interview transcripts, workshop notes, and conversation logs. It synthesises pain points, themes, and insights, and traces every finding back to the words someone actually said.

One agent, from insights to deliverables.

Discovery, alpha, beta, and beyond — especially the greenfield work where evidence and speed both matter. UCDOps Agent does the core things a UCD team does, in order, with the receipts.
