Summary

During my 3-month UXR internship at Google, I worked on several AI projects, including a Gemini 2.5 flash Q&A tool with LLM summarization and question clustering, an AI sentiment analyzer, and an agentic 'chief of staff' for enterprise use cases. Each project required a unique research approach. I leveraged methodologies like semi-structured interviews, concept tests, discussion guide and focus group design, and created novel validation testing techniques including an interactive vibe coded UI to simulate an intended user experience. My work had a direct impact on shipping product teams and future vision states for AI products within Google. Throughout my internship, I worked closely with another UXD intern, my staff-level UXR and UXD hosts, and two senior Product Managers.
