TensorLake, an AI infrastructure startup, tasked with designing the Create API Key (project is ongoing) feature for their new SaaS platform, TensorLake Cloud. This critical feature enables users to programmatically interact with the service.
Dashboard
Challenge
The goals were to simplify API key generation, ensure security, and create an intuitive interface for both technical and non-technical users.
Research & Insights
Through user interviews and competitive analysis, we identified key needs: clear usage guidance, easy key generation, and effective organization.
Design Process
The process involved mapping user flows, creating wireframes, and developing high-fidelity prototypes in Figma. Key design decisions included one-click key generation, a management table for existing keys, and integrated security best practices.
Final Design
We implemented a clean interface prioritizing key actions, with clear information hierarchy. Security was emphasized through visible warnings and limited full key visibility.
Table
Usability Testing & Iterations
Testing with 3 participants revealed a 100% task completion rate for key generation and copying. Based on feedback, we improved key security and copy key visibility by creating a modal.

Outcomes
The final design streamlines the API key creation process, balancing simplicity with robust management tools. It sets a strong foundation for user interaction with TensorLake Cloud, enabling quick start-up while maintaining necessary security measures.
Next Steps
Future plans include integrating this feature with broader project/workspace management and developing complementary features like an API usage dashboard, extraction graphs and more.
