Inspiration

As UX professionals, we were frustrated by the time-consuming process of turning user interviews into actionable insights and professional briefs. While AI was helping developers and marketers move faster, UX workflows were still stuck juggling tools like Google Docs, Zoom, Notion, Figma, and sticky notes. We wanted a co-pilot that accelerates the research phase—without compromising quality or design judgment.

What it does

BrieflyUX is an AI-powered UX research assistant that helps designers: - Conduct live user interviews (video/audio) directly in the platform - See dynamic, suggested questions and mark them as "asked" - Capture and record interviews automatically - Generate editable UX briefs from structured inputs - Manage projects and research in one place It’s the only tool built by and for UX professionals to streamline the research → synthesis → brief workflow.

How we built it

- We used **Bolt** to build our frontend logic, UI, and screens.
- We integrated **Jitsi** for live interviews with recording enabled.
- Custom GPT prompts help generate the UX brief based on user inputs.
- Project and research data is stored in Bolt state (no external backend).

Challenges we ran into

- Bolt does not have built-in support for native video components or real-time transcription, so we had to creatively integrate Jitsi while managing state and call recording.
- UX tools are complex—getting the information architecture and flows right took time and iteration.
- Limited time! Designing and building everything in a few days meant focusing on what really matters to our users.
- Despite working under difficult personal circumstances, including nights disrupted by regional conflict and sirens, I stayed committed to delivering a product that could genuinely serve UX professionals under pressure. This experience reminded us how important efficient, focused workflows are in times of chaos—professional or personal.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

- Built a full UX workflow from scratch inside Bolt
- Integrated working video calls + recording
- Created a dynamic brief generator with AI
- Designed the system to support teams, timelines, and insights
- Developed a real product we’d actually use in our work

What we learned

- Bolt is more powerful than we thought—but it has limitations you need to work around.
- It's crucial to focus on real-world user behavior, not just features.
- When building for designers, usability and flexibility are non-negotiable.
- MVP ≠ minimal; it's about solving the core problem well.

What's next for Briefly

- Add real-time transcription and insight tagging
- Export wireframes directly to Figma
- Connect to tools like Fireflies.ai, Dovetail, and Notion
- Offer freemium access to UX teams in emerging markets
- Add multi-language support for briefs and personas
- Go from research → brief → prototype in one smooth flow
- **Enable advanced market research**, including:
    - smart web-based queries
    - scanning of academic and UX-industry literature
    - file uploads by the user (PDFs, slides, docs) to extract context and generate smarter briefs
