Case Study
AI Will with Xinshixiang
I designed and built an AI-guided reflective writing product with Xinshixiang. Public coverage and my recap describe 10,000+ young people using it to think through mortality, relationships, and personal values.
Role
Product designer, full-stack developer, dialogue designer.
I worked across product framing, interaction flow, full-stack implementation, and AI dialogue experience. The core question was not whether AI could generate a document, but whether conversation with AI could become a meaningful reflective ritual.
Approach
AI as a medium for self-reflection.
The experience used structured prompts and guided conversation to help users move from abstract feelings into concrete choices, memories, relationships, and value ordering. It sits closer to social storytelling and emotional product design than to a generic content-generation tool.
Proof
Public report first, personal posts as context.
The primary public proof is the WeChat report. The launch and recap posts are kept as secondary context for role, timing, and the reported 10,000+ participation figure.
