Yahoo search gen AI

This project is currently in development, which limits the number of screens that can be showcased at this time. The objective of the project is to help users find what they need faster by incorporate gen AI into core search experience. The team has developed the baseline experience for summarization and chat, and I have joined to lead the growth strategy and identify opportunities to offer unique features to our users.

Based on user research, data and business needs, we are trying to make some strong hypothsis e.g. Search will more likely come back if a user engage with genAI features. I then help the team refine directions and features. Areas like better coaching, how can we refine the search within the page etc.

Team Brainstorm

My figjam that I prepared for the team. It includes–

  • Context of what we are here

  • Bite size insights to refresh everyone's memory

  • Hypotheses developed by the leads

  • A "How might we" column to narrow down ideas potential solutions

  • An "Effort vs impact" graph to filter and prioritize so that we get out with actionable items.

Also brainstorming ideas using cove.ai with my team. Great tool for collaboration and generate ideas based on everyone's input and notes.
