AI Prompts

Copy-ready prompts for UX work. Fill in the [brackets], then check what you get back.

  • Review a design for accessibility

    Accessibility
    Review this interface description for accessibility against WCAG 2.2 AA:
    
    [describe layout, colours, interactions, media]
    
    List likely failures for colour contrast, keyboard access, focus order, target size, text alternatives, error identification and motion. Say how to fix each one.

    Follow up with real testing using assistive technology.

  • Write alt text

    Accessibility
    Write alt text for this image in a [type of page]:
    
    [describe the image and why it is on the page]
    
    Give one version under 125 characters that conveys its purpose. Tell me if the image is decorative and should have empty alt text instead.

    Alt text should serve the purpose of the image, not describe every pixel.

  • Plan a keyboard test

    Accessibility
    Create a keyboard-only test script for [page or component]. List the exact key presses to check, the focus order I should expect, how to open and close any dialogs or menus, and what visible focus should look like at each step.

    Run it with the mouse unplugged.

  • Make a form inclusive

    Accessibility
    Here are the fields of a form for [purpose]:
    
    [paste fields]
    
    Suggest changes so it works for people using screen readers, voice control and cognitive support: labels, grouping, hints, error messages, required indicators and sensible autocomplete values.

    Ask only for what you really need.

AI tools can be wrong, biased or out of date. Verify what they tell you, never paste private or confidential data, and treat research output as a starting point: it does not replace talking to real users.
