This chrome extension can integrate with LinkedIn. Users can use this extension to generate replies for messages using AI. I have shown different steps demonstrating how users can use this extension to generate replies. I have designed this extension with the best user experience in mind.

Thought Process and Rationale

1. 1. User Journey Mapping:

   • 1)I started by analyzing the typical workflow of LinkedIn users when responding to messages.

   • 2)Identified potential pain points, such as repetitive replies or time spent drafting personalized responses.

2. 2. Core Features:

   • 1)Seamless integration into LinkedIn’s messaging interface.

   • 2)A non-intrusive UI to avoid overwhelming the user while enhancing productivity.

3. 3. Steps in the User Flow:

   • 1) Activation: A button on LinkedIn’s messaging window to activate ReplyWise.

   • 2)Input Options: Fields to define the tone or context of the AI-generated reply.

   • 3)Output Generation: A preview feature for users to review and refine responses.

   • 4)Submission: A quick "Write Message" button to add the reply directly into the chat.

4. 4. UI Considerations:

   • 1)Clean and minimalistic to align with LinkedIn’s professional theme.

   • 2)Clear and accessible call-to-action buttons.

   • 3)Responsive design for desktop users.

Challenges Faced:

• 1. Challenge: Balancing LinkedIn’s native design with the extension’s functionality.

  • Solution: Conducted visual benchmarking to ensure the extension’s UI felt like a natural extension of LinkedIn.

• 2. Challenge: Ensuring users trust the AI's recommendations.

  • Solution: Added a “Edit” option, allowing manual adjustments to AI-generated replies.

Resources Followed:

• Google Material Design Guidelines for Chrome extension UI.

• Competitor analysis (e.g., Grammarly, ChatGPT plugins).

• LinkedIn UI documentation for design consistency.
