What should I check before sharing an AI-built prototype?

Walk through the complete user task, including failure states. Check content accuracy, keyboard use, small-screen layout, data access and any actions the app can take. A working demonstration still needs a separate production-readiness review.

A real-work example

A generated event page looks finished, but its form only changes the button text. A review should confirm where submissions go, what happens on an error and whether the confirmation is truthful.

Try this next

  1. Define one complete journey and its expected outcome. Run it from a fresh session using fictional data.
  2. Try missing fields, unexpected input, network failure and repeated submission. Make success, error and empty states understandable.
  3. Use the keyboard, inspect focus order and check labels, contrast and narrow layouts. Bring users into evaluation where practical.
  4. Inspect authentication, permissions, stored data, dependencies and external integrations with a qualified reviewer before using real records.
  5. Label remaining limitations, assign owners and keep a way to roll back. Publish only when the responsible person has approved the intended use.

Put it into practice
