Simulation Details

Meta is a leading technology company specializing in social media and communication platforms, with flagship products like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, reaching over 3 billion users worldwide. Meta’s mission is to empower people to build community and bring the world closer together. For instance, Facebook’s AI-driven content moderation tools have successfully filtered out 95% of harmful content before it is reported by users, increasing user engagement by 30% and user satisfaction scores by 25%.

The company is at the forefront of integrating advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance user experiences. For example, Instagram’s AI-powered personalized content recommendations have led to a 20% increase in user retention rates by curating content that aligns with individual user preferences based on their interaction history.

Meta employs a range of technical tools and software to facilitate its innovative projects. Designers at Meta use Figma to create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, enabling rapid prototyping and collaborative design. Project management is streamlined through JIRA, which helps teams track progress and manage tasks efficiently. For AI development, TensorFlow is the preferred framework, allowing Meta to build sophisticated AI models that power features like Facebook’s real-time content filtering and Instagram’s recommendation algorithms.

Meta’s current focus is on expanding its AI capabilities to enhance WhatsApp, a widely-used messaging app offering text, voice, and video communication. The integration of AI features aims to provide functionalities such as categorizing chats by priority or topic and enhanced privacy features like AI-driven privacy alerts, addressing user needs for better message organization and robust encryption options.

In this simulation, you will assume the role of a UX Designer at Meta, focusing on integrating AI features into WhatsApp. Your responsibilities include understanding user needs, designing intuitive interfaces, and ensuring seamless integration of new technologies. You will interact with key team members and stakeholders, including the Senior Product Manager, the Lead UX Designer, and the Principal AI Engineer. Each of these stakeholders will provide unique insights and feedback, helping you refine your design proposal. You will need to balance user needs with technical feasibility and business goals, navigating potential conflicts such as differing opinions on design priorities or technical constraints. Your goal is to gather insights on user needs, propose design principles, and create a design proposal that addresses potential challenges, aligning with Meta’s overarching goals for AI integration.

To complete the simulation, you need to:
1. Engage in discussions with key team members to understand user needs, pain points, and opportunities for AI integration.
2. Develop and propose design principles and ideas that seamlessly incorporate AI features, ensuring they align with user needs and business goals.
3. Create a detailed written design proposal that addresses potential challenges and outlines the user journey.

Once you completed all the tasks, save the required final document in a PDF or DOCX and send it to your manager, Elena Garcia.
