01 / The question
What if prompt work felt more like mapping than guessing?
The core idea was to give each experiment a place to live. That meant making the relationship between an input, a model, and an output easy to scan at a glance.

The challenge
AI tools are powerful, but the path from a first prompt to a useful result can feel like a black box. I wanted to make the process visible enough to learn from.
The approach
I designed a focused workspace where prompts, model outputs, and useful discoveries could sit beside each other instead of disappearing into a chat history.
The outcome
A clear prototype for treating AI exploration as an iterative design practice rather than a sequence of lucky guesses.

02 / The system
The interface uses a compact visual language for model settings, prompt versions, and notes. It keeps the technical details close without making the whole experience feel like a developer console.
