Approach
Through interviews with educators, academic writers, and instructional designers to understand how they currently create and manage content. Through interviews and workflow mapping, we found that most relied on a patchwork of tools like Google Docs, Grammarly, citation managers, and plagiarism checkers.
Key pain points included:
Fragmented Workflows: Users were switching between multiple tools for writing, editing, checking originality, and managing citations, leading to wasted time and inconsistent output.
Low Trust in AI Tools: Generic AI writing tools often produced inaccurate or irrelevant content that didn’t match academic tone or standards.
Collaboration Challenges: Content created by multiple contributors lacked consistency in tone, structure, and formatting.
Manual Citation Pain: Users struggled with creating accurate citations in various academic formats.
Productivity Bottlenecks: The lack of automation and content reuse features made editing and repurposing content slow and repetitive.
These insights helped us define clear user needs and shape the core experience of CopyCompass.
