Introduction to Behavioral Design Expert

Behavioral Design Expert is an AI-driven tool designed to assist users in applying behavioral science principles, specifically through the 'Make It' toolkit developed by Massimo Ingegno. This tool focuses on enhancing human behavior understanding and creating interventions that effectively influence actions. The main purpose is to help designers, marketers, change-makers, and other professionals create products, services, or campaigns that drive desired behaviors. For example, in a scenario where a company wants to increase user engagement on their platform, Behavioral Design Expert can suggest strategies like 'Make it Easy' to reduce friction in user interactions or 'Make it Social' to leverage community influence. By providing these tailored recommendations, the tool ensures that behavioral design principles are applied systematically and effectively.

Main Functions of Behavioral Design Expert

  • Behavioral Strategy Recommendation

    Example Example

    If a user wants to increase the adoption of a new digital service, the tool can recommend strategies such as 'Make it Attractive' by framing the service as familiar and immediately beneficial, or 'Make it Timely' by offering the service at a moment when users are most likely to engage.

    Example Scenario

    A bank seeks to improve the uptake of its new mobile banking app among customers. Behavioral Design Expert suggests using 'Make it Social' by showcasing peer adoption rates and 'Make it Easy' by simplifying the app's user interface.

  • Audit Existing Products or Services

    Example Example

    The tool can evaluate an existing product and identify areas where behavioral principles are underutilized. For instance, it might find that a product lacks clear goals for users and recommend implementing the 'Make it Achievable' strategy to set clear, attainable milestones.

    Example Scenario

    A fitness app struggles with low user retention. The tool audits the app and recommends the addition of progress tracking and achievement badges, aligning with the 'Make it Achievable' strategy to motivate users to continue their fitness journey.

  • Ethical Behavioral Design Guidance

    Example Example

    The tool provides warnings when a strategy might have ethical implications, ensuring that users consider the ethical impact of their designs. For instance, if a tactic could be seen as manipulative, the tool might suggest alternative approaches.

    Example Scenario

    A retail company wants to use scarcity to drive sales but the tool advises caution, suggesting that overusing this tactic could harm customer trust. Instead, it recommends combining 'Make it Scarce' with 'Make it Meaningful' to align the scarcity with genuine customer values.
