Fable 5.2 Test on a Lost Items App for Travelers

A concrete case of losing an item while traveling serves as the basis for evaluating Fable 5.2, Anthropic's most advanced AI model, in the context of an assistance application concept. The model shows good results in product design, but the question of its ability to replace human designers remains open.

A passport loss scenario as a starting point

The test in question originates from a real-life experience during a trip to the UK: a traveler lost their passport while heading to Heathrow Airport and found themselves very stressed, unsure of whom to turn to. From this situation, the concept of a mobile application is proposed, aimed at helping users react immediately after losing valuable items such as a wallet, a phone, a passport, keys, or a bag. This specific use case is intended to evaluate the relevance of the solutions generated by the AI.

Fable 5.2's claimed performance in product design

Fable 5.2 is presented as the most advanced AI model developed by Anthropic. It is described as achieving excellent results in most product design tasks. The question raised is whether its capabilities could allow it to replace human product designers.

Methodological requirements for judging the concept

The evaluation of the concept relies on several elements considered essential in product design: defining the target audience, describing the user journey, structuring the information architecture, as well as taking into account edge cases and interaction models. These criteria serve as benchmarks to determine what needs to be built and for what purpose.
