I was tired of bouncing between 5 different tools for UX research, so I built an entire Operating System for it. 🛠️
As a designer/developer, my biggest bottleneck has always been context switching. I'd have user research in one doc, personas in another, Figma open, and an accessibility checklist floating somewhere in a browser tab.
To solve my own problem, I built Edward OS, an intelligent UX/UI design studio workspace.
What it does for my daily workflow:
Research to Journey Maps: Consolidates user research, automated persona creation, and journey mapping in one spot.
Built-in Audits: Handle design reviews and accessibility checks directly in the app.
Microcopy Support: A dedicated UX writing module so I don't lose tone consistency.
I originally built this strictly as a custom tool for my own product workflows, but I'm realizing other modern product teams might face the exact same friction.

💬 To the Founders, Product Managers, and Builders here: If you were using an AI workspace like this to scale your design workflow, what is the one feature missing that would make this an instant daily driver for your team? Would love your brutal feedback on the architecture!
