Rekvin: Design Research Copilot

A React-based application that helps users turn raw research into actionable insights and polished designs.

Features

  • Project Management:
    Create and manage design research projects, supporting multiple types (B2B/B2C) and platforms (Mobile/Desktop).

  • Resource Management:
    Upload files and add links for research materials with AI-powered analysis and smart categorization.

  • Workflow Builder:
    Visual workflow editor built with React Flow, enabling creation of research and design processes.

  • AI Integration:
    Comprehensive Google Gemini AI support for content analysis, workflow processing, design generation, and intelligent workflow suggestions.

  • Secure Authentication:
    JWT-based user authentication with persistent sessions.

  • Hybrid Data Storage:
    Seamless switching between backend API and localStorage, with automatic offline fallback.

Technology Stack

  • Frontend: React 19.1.0 with TypeScript
  • Build Tool: Vite 6.2.0
  • Workflow Editor: React Flow 11.11.4
  • AI Integration: Google Gemini AI
  • Backend: Node.js with Express and SQLite
  • Authentication: JWT tokens with refresh token support

What We Learned

  • User research is essential:
    Skipping research leads to generic features. Rekvin helps uncover nuanced needs—like Gen Z females preferring in-app calls without sharing numbers, or Millennials opting for OTP-based login.

  • AI accelerates design thinking:
    Rekvin’s AI-powered summarization, tagging, and workflow suggestions helped us move from raw data to structured insights faster than ever.

  • Continuous feedback loops matter:
    By integrating Rekvin with Kiro, we created a cycle where research informs development, and testing feeds back into better requirements—ensuring products evolve with real user input.
