Prototyping data tools with AI: a case study Solar Battery Atlas
Summary
This case study by Ember describes how AI is used to accelerate the prototyping of data tools, such as the Solar Battery Atlas, by reducing the need for extensive initial coding and allowing for rapid iteration based on user feedback before moving into a rigorous production process.
Key insights
- AI allows Ember to rapidly transition from a concept to a web tool by eliminating the requirement for extensive coding during the initial phase. The process involves defining data sources and methodologies, using AI for visualization, and publishing prototypes to gather user feedback or quickly discard unsuccessful concepts.
- While AI accelerates the route to delivery, Ember maintains a rigorous production process to transition prototypes into approved tools. This process includes user-informed design, data architecture and validation within core databases, professional front-end development, and targeted audience outreach and training.
