# AI Prompt UX Design the input side of AI interactions - how users express their intent, refine their requests, and learn to communicate effectively with AI. The CRAFT framework treats the prompt experience as a design surface, not just a text box. ## Core Principle A blank text box is not a prompt UX. It is an **abdication of design.** The empty chat input puts 100% of the burden on the user to figure out what to say, how to say it, and what's possible. Great prompt UX reduces that burden to near zero while preserving unlimited expressiveness for power users. --- ## The CRAFT Framework | Letter | Principle | Design Question | |---|---|---| | **C** | Constrain Productively | Does the input interface guide users toward better prompts without limiting expressiveness? | | **R** | Reveal Capabilities | Can users discover what's possible through the input experience itself? | | **A** | Assist Construction | Does the interface help users build complex prompts piece by piece? | | **F** | Format Intelligently | Does the system interpret intent regardless of how the user formatted their input? | | **T** | Teach Through Interaction | Does each interaction make the user slightly better at prompting? | --- ## The Prompt Input Spectrum Not every AI product should use a blank text box. Choose the right input pattern for your context: | Pattern | User Freedom | Guidance Level | Best For | Example | |---|---|---|---|---| | **Free text** | Maximum | Minimum | Expert users, open-end
