Entry point
The entry point is where an application accepts a user’s input that will be processed by GenAI models. This might be:
- A text box where a user enters a prompt: Interactive
- An uploaded image that will be processed: Interactive or batch
- A voice recording that will be transcribed and analyzed: Batch
The entry point acts as the front door for users to access the power of GenAI within an application. As such, the entry point modality should align closely with the input types supported by the models being leveraged. If the models only process text prompts, then a text-based entry field is appropriate. For image generation models, the entry could be an interface supporting image uploads. Multi-modal models may warrant options for both text and images.
Beyond matching supported input types, the entry point UX should aim to make providing prompts fast, intuitive, and even delightful for users. Well-designed interfaces guide users naturally...
