Clippd
Helping golfers identify, understand and improve their golf game using generative AI
My Role Head of Product Design
Overview
I have been leading the design and development of a proof-of-concept generative AI app for avid golfers. This app leverages Clippd's advanced ML models to provide a completely personalized experience, helping golfers identify, understand, and improve their game through a holistic approach that includes mental, physical, and lifestyle aspects.
Problem Identification
Golfers often struggle to identify specific areas for improvement and how to address them effectively. Existing golf training apps lack the ability to provide personalized, comprehensive training programs that consider the unique data and needs of each player. There was a clear opportunity to create an app that could offer a tailored improvement program, leveraging the vast data and advanced analytics of Clippd's ML models.
Market Research
Interviews and User Insights
To ensure the Clippd app met the needs of its target audience, we conducted extensive market research, including:
In-Depth Interviews Conducted one-on-one interviews with avid golfers, coaches, and sports psychologists to gather detailed insights into their needs, challenges, and preferences.
Focus Groups Organized focus groups to discuss common pain points and desired features in a golf training app, ensuring diverse perspectives were considered.
Surveys Distributed surveys to a larger pool of golfers to validate the findings from interviews and focus groups.
To organize the content and get insights from the transcripts I created a GPT that learned from the transcripts and actioned them against persona variables.
Collaboration with Research Agency
We collaborated with a specialized golf market research agency to gain a deeper understanding of the US product-market fit. Their expertise provided:
Market Analysis Detailed analysis of current market trends, competitor offerings, and gaps in existing solutions.
