Design task management app UI

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Design the user interface for a new task management app, focusing on the main dashboard view. Include a list of active tasks, a way to mark them complete, and a quick add button. Use our standard brand colors and typography.

Before I show this task management app UI to the stakeholders, make it feel more intuitive for our target user, who is often overwhelmed. Simplify the navigation, ensure the 'add task' flow is super fast, and suggest a way to visually group related tasks without cluttering the screen. Make sure it looks good on a phone.

The CEO just saw the task management app UI and said it feels 'too corporate' and not 'fun' enough for our brand.
The CEO just reviewed the task management app UI and called it 'too corporate,' not 'fun' enough. I'm afraid to deviate too much from established patterns, but I also know he's passionate about brand perception. I can't tell him that 'fun' often means sacrificing usability. What's the likely diagnosis, and what's my best next move to address his feedback without compromising core functionality?

I often get stuck in endless revision cycles because I don't get clear design direction upfront.
I'm always stuck in endless revision cycles for UI designs because I don't get clear direction on the 'feel' or 'brand personality' before I start. I present something, and then it's a game of 'try this, try that.' What habit should I change in my initial discovery phase to get more concrete emotional and brand guidance from stakeholders?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Figma's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
