Developer tools hub
Helping developers discover the right tools at the right moment
Background
AI Hub is a marketplace for discovering tools, components, and assets to help developers build applications faster.
What is the developer tools hub?
Available tools and resources scattered across platforms
Developers repeatedly start from scratch
Slow experimentation and prototyping
Problem
UX challenges and solutions
Challenge one: How can we support more asset types over time?
Solution: Reusable card templates adaptable to different content
Solution: A familiar, industry-inspired flow: asset discovery -> evaluation -> test and experiment
Challenge two: Asset discovery was disconnected from usage.
Reusable card template design
Industry-inspired flow: discovery, evaluation, test and experiment
Research
Qualitative discovery interviews
Evaluative concept testing
Approach
Participants understood asset details and saw clear value.
Trust for asset details depended on clear, well-structured, and comprehensive, up-to-date information.
Providing basic but essential metadata while browsing resources helped drive informed selection decisions before diving into any single resource (i.e. model card).
“For a model card, I’d have to do some actual prompting. You can’t trust it blindly.”
