Launchpad AI

Overview

An AI-powered discovery workshop that helps businesses identify high-impact AI use cases tailored to their industry. Users answer five guided questions, then receive a comprehensive report with 8 ranked use cases, an interactive impact-vs-complexity matrix, actionable next steps, and real-world case studies — delivering in minutes what enterprise consulting teams take weeks to produce.

Key Features

• 5-step intake wizard with persistent state, industry-aware pain points, tech stack selection, and drag-to-reorder goal prioritization
• Real-time SSE streaming with phased progress updates while Claude generates the analysis report
• Interactive impact-vs-complexity scatter plot matrix with color-coded categories and quadrant labels (Quick Wins, Strategic Bets, Low Hanging Fruit, Reconsider)
• Pre-cached industry reports for Healthcare, Retail, and Technology for instant demo experience without API key
• PDF export via jsPDF and copy-to-clipboard for sharing generated reports

Challenges & Solutions

The project addressed challenges including implementing a ReadableStream-based SSE architecture with concurrent Claude API generation and staged status messages, building resilient JSON parsing with regex extraction and automatic retry with corrective prompts when Claude wraps responses in markdown code blocks, managing wizard state persistence across page navigation via useReducer with localStorage round-trip on every state change, and achieving comprehensive test coverage with 50 unit tests across 7 suites plus Playwright E2E tests through the full wizard flow.
