Before Figma, there's… paper, Post-its, or AI. Creating a low-fidelity wireframe is the zero step of any interface: fast, rough, but essential for aligning a team. This prompt helps you structure a clear text mockup that you can then reproduce in Notion, FigJam, Whimsical or Miro.
During brainstorming or design sprint

To document an idea to share with devs or PMs
To quickly simulate an AI interface (GPT agent, chatbot…)
A textual description of interface zones (header, body, CTA…)
UX notes not to forget (responsive, accessibility…)
A basis for working in no-code or figma mode
Time savings in design workshops
