Pick Defaults That Cover 80 Percent of Users Without Hiding the 20

Design Defaults Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 4 views

📝 The Prompt

Help me pick smart defaults for [FEATURE] that cover 80% of users without making the other 20% feel hidden. Use cases summary: [DESCRIBE THE 80% AND THE 20%]. Walk through: (1) what default behavior, (2) what default values, (3) where to surface the override (inline, settings, advanced expandable), (4) how to keep the override discoverable without cluttering the main path, (5) the one signal you'd watch in analytics to know the default is wrong. Skip 'make it customizable' — that's a cop-out.

⚙️ Replace 2 placeholders: [FEATURE] [DESCRIBE THE 80% AND THE 20%]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 2 bracketed placeholders ([FEATURE] [DESCRIBE THE 80% AND THE 20%] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([FEATURE], [DESCRIBE THE 80% AND THE 20%]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other design prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
