2. About the Product:
AutoPilot is a mobile scheduling application for busy professionals who use lots
of different apps to get through the day. AutoPilot has a simple way to add
different types of events to your day and unlike other schedulers it links up with
other apps to get things done with having to waste time swapping back and forth.
About the Project:
AutoPilot is a class project made in the Bay Area. The AutoPilot team was looking to
create an appropriate experience for a partner in the UXDi class at General Assembly.
The team was given the constraint of creating a shopping app, targeting iPhone as the
primary delivery channel.

5. DESIGN RESEARCH
Method:
We spoke with Allison and asked her about how she goes about her
day and how she gets things done.
We asked her to map out her day and we looked for moments when
she was spending money.
Findings:
Allison used a wide variety of apps to take care of events all throughout
her day. This led to constant navigation of apps and lots of
opportunities to be distracted from getting her work done.
Opportunities Identified:
Create an easy way to manage days tasks with lots of apps on the go.
We identified three types of potential users for this product:
1). Startup employees
2). Sales staff
3). Journalists
