Lexi AI

Three questions to the project team

What was the particular challenge of the project from a UX point of view?
The main UX challenge was creating a vocabulary platform that truly makes memorization painless, addressing why users still abandon existing language apps despite many options. With the rise of LLM, I explored how AI could be seamlessly integrated to fill gaps in current solutions—focusing on making learning more intuitive, personalized, and engaging, without overwhelming users or relying on ineffective traditional methods.

What was your personal highlight in the development process? Was there an aha!-moment, was there a low point?
My personal highlight was seeing my designs come to life with the help of tools like Cursor—it truly felt like bringing my own creation into the world. The biggest “aha!” moment was realizing that perfection is unattainable; as a designer, I often spent hours refining tiny details, but I learned that balancing perfectionism with practicality is essential. Sometimes, “good enough” is what lets you move forward and make real impact.

Where do you see yourself and the project in the next five years?
In the next five years, I see myself launching Lexi to the market, gathering real user feedback, and continuously iterating to refine and enhance the product. While the core idea of Lexi is simple and there are many similar products, I believe the strength of being a designer lies in crafting delightful experiences and creating memorable 'wow' moments that set the product apart. I aim to leverage product thinking to evolve Lexi into a truly engaging and effective vocabulary learning platform that resonates deeply with users and stands out in a crowded market.
