From opportunity to solution
Bandos is built on established UX and product design practices used by professional teams, and turns them into a simple, guided workflow anyone can follow.
In practice, it is a smart mind map that lets you explore many ideation paths. Start anywhere, and Bandos helps you fill in what's missing as you go.
Why These Steps Work
A proven process used by professional product and UX teams, now accessible to everyone.
These steps mirror how experienced designers work in practice: start with constraints, understand people, define the real problem, explore multiple solutions, then communicate the idea clearly. Bandos embeds this process directly into the interface so you don't need prior UX training.
AI in Bandos acts as a facilitator. It expands possibilities and suggests alternatives, while you stay in control of the decisions.
Company
Start with your business reality. Define your capabilities, constraints, and what makes you unique. This grounds every idea in what you can actually build.
- Business model
- Unique capabilities
- Hard constraints
Why this matters: Good ideas fail when they ignore real constraints. Professionals anchor creativity in reality.
Target customer
Build empathy for a real person, not an abstract market segment. Bandos even generates a portrait to help you visualize who you're helping, so your solutions stay grounded in their reality.
- Demographics & context
- Pain points & frustrations
- AI-generated portrait
Why this matters: Designing for "everyone" leads to weak solutions. Clear customer focus drives better decisions.
Opportunity
Define the opportunity using the Jobs-to-be-Done framework: "When [situation], I want to [action], so I can [outcome]." This proven UX method keeps ideas grounded in real customer needs.
- Situation trigger
- Desired action
- Expected outcome
Why this matters: Strong products solve real situations, not abstract problems or feature requests.
Ideas
Ideas evolve through four levels of progressive concretization. Start broad with high-level directions, then progressively refine into specific, detailed solutions. Bandos generates suggestions at each level, helping you explore a wide range of possibilities before committing.
Why this matters: Teams often lock onto the first idea. A structured hierarchy from broad to specific leads to stronger, more considered outcomes.
Storyboard
See your idea in the real world. Generate 4-panel visual stories that show how customers will experience your solution—perfect for pitching to stakeholders, aligning your team, or testing whether the concept truly clicks.
Why this matters: Ideas stay abstract until you can show them. Visual stories make concepts tangible and shareable.
