# OAC Content Creator Scenarios - User Experience Analysis

**Date**: 2026-02-14  
**Perspective**: Non-technical content creators (bloggers, marketers, technical writers)  
**Goal**: Identify UX gaps and design requirements for content creators using OAC

---

## Executive Summary

**Key Finding**: OAC's developer-first design creates significant barriers for content creators who want AI-powered writing assistance but lack technical expertise.

**Critical Issues**:
- 🚨 CLI interface is intimidating for non-technical users
- 🚨 Installation process assumes technical knowledge
- 🚨 Error messages use developer jargon
- 🚨 No visual feedback for writing workflows
- 🚨 Hard to undo mistakes without git knowledge

**Opportunity**: Content creators represent a **large untapped user base** who need AI agents for writing but are underserved by current coding-focused tools.

---

## 1. Content Creator Workflows

### 1.1 Blog Writing Workflow

**User**: Sarah, lifestyle blogger with no coding background

**Current State** (Without OAC):
- Uses ChatGPT directly
- Copies/pastes context manually
- Loses conversation history
- No consistent voice
- Hard to iterate on drafts

**Desired State** (With OAC):
- Agent knows her blog voice
- Automatically uses brand guidelines
- Can switch between blog types (recipe, travel, product review)
- Saves drafts and versions
- Easy to request revisions

**Key Steps**:
1. **Start writing session**: "I need a blog post about..."
2. **Set context**: Agent loads brand voice, previous posts, style guide
3. **Draft**: Agent creates initial draft
4. **Review & iterate**: Request changes, tone adjustments
5. **Finalize**: Export to WordPress, save version

**Pain Points**:
- ❌ Doesn't know how to "install" or "configure" OAC
- ❌ Doesn't understand what "agents" or "contexts" are
- ❌ Gets stuck if terminal shows error
- ❌ Can't find her brand guidelines (doesn't know about context files)
- ❌ Accidentally overwrites good draft (no undo)

---

### 1.2 Marketing Copywriting Workflow

**User**: Marcus, marketing manager at startup

**Current State**:
- Uses multiple tools (Jasper, Copy.ai, ChatGPT)
- Manually ensures brand consistency
- Hard to brief freelancers
- No reusable templates

**Desired State** (With OAC):
- One tool for all copy needs
- Brand voice built-in
- Templates for email, ads, landing pages
- Easy to share setup with team
- Version history for A/B tests

**Key Steps**:
1. **Choose campaign type**: Email, landing page, social ad
2. **Set parameters**: Audience, goal, tone
3. **Generate variations**: Multiple versions for A/B testing
4. **Review**: Pick best, request tweaks
5. **Export**: Copy to marketing tools

**Pain Points**:
- ❌ "Local vs global install" makes no sense to him
- ❌ Doesn't know what a `.opencode` folder is
- ❌ Can't figure out how to add brand guidelines
- ❌ Confused by "agent configuration" terminology
- ❌ Wants templates but doesn't know how to create them

---

### 1.3 Technical Documentation Workflow

**User**: Emily, technical writer at SaaS company

**Current State**:
- Uses GitHub Copilot for code examples
- Manually writes explanations
- Hard to keep docs in sync with product
- No consistency across writers

**Desired State** (With OAC):
- Agent understands product architecture
- Generates accurate code examples
- Maintains consistent terminology
- Suggests when docs are outdated
- Integrates with docs platform

**Key Steps**:
1. **Choose doc type**: API reference, tutorial, troubleshooting
2. **Load product context**: Architecture, API specs, terminology
3. **Generate draft**: Agent creates structured doc
4. **Add examples**: Code snippets, screenshots
5. **Validate**: Check accuracy, test examples
6. **Publish**: Export to docs platform

**Pain Points**:
- ❌ Needs developer help to set up
- ❌ Confused by "context resolution" and "layered contexts"
- ❌ Doesn't understand error: "Context not found: core/standards/code-quality.md"
- ❌ Scared to run commands that might break things
- ❌ Can't collaborate with developers who use different setup

---

### 1.4 Multi-Project Content Management

**User**: Jordan, freelance writer with 5 clients

**Current State**:
- Separate ChatGPT threads per client
- Manually reminds AI of client voice each time
- Loses track of project context
- Hard to switch between clients

**Desired State** (With OAC):
- One profile per client
- Easy switching: "Work on Client A blog"
- Client-specific templates and guidelines
- Project history and notes
- Simple billing/time tracking

**Key Steps**:
1. **Switch client**: "Switch to Client A"
2. **Agent loads**: Client voice, previous work, templates
3. **Work**: Create content
4. **Switch client**: "Switch to Client B"
5. **Repeat**: Seamless context switching

**Pain Points**:
- ❌ "Local vs global" doesn't match mental model
- ❌ Doesn't know how to organize multiple client setups
- ❌ Confused by file structure (where to put what?)
- ❌ Scared of mixing client contexts
- ❌ Doesn't understand how to "sync" settings

---

### 1.5 Team Collaboration Workflow

**User**: Alex, content director with 3 writers

**Current State**:
- Shares Google Docs with guidelines
- Manually reviews for brand consistency
- Hard to onboard new writers
- No way to ensure everyone uses same prompts

**Desired State** (With OAC):
- One shared brand setup
- Easy onboarding: "Install our content kit"
- Consistent output across team
- Central updates propagate to everyone
- Review and approval workflow

**Key Steps**:
1. **Create team setup**: Brand voice, templates, guidelines
2. **Share with team**: One command to install
3. **Team uses**: Everyone gets consistent agent behavior
4. **Update centrally**: Changes apply to whole team
5. **Review**: See what team created

**Pain Points**:
- ❌ Doesn't understand "global install" for team sharing
- ❌ Technical setup scares non-technical writers
- ❌ No way to prevent writers from breaking setup
- ❌ Confused by "component registry" concept
- ❌ Can't control what team members can change

---

## 2. Key Experiences

### 2.1 First-Time Setup (Critical UX Moment)

**Scenario**: Sarah downloads OAC to help with blog writing

**Current Experience**:
```bash
$ npm install -g @nextsystems/oac
$ oac init

? Install location:
  > Local (this project: /Users/sarah/Desktop)
    Global (~/.config/oac)
```

**Sarah's Thoughts**:
- 😰 "What's npm? Do I have that?"
- 😰 "What's a 'local install'? What's 'global'?"
- 😰 "What's a 'project'? I just want to write blogs"
- 😰 "What's this path thing? Is that my computer?"
- 😰 "I'm scared I'll break something"

**Issues**:
1. ❌ Assumes npm is installed
2. ❌ "Local vs global" is developer terminology
3. ❌ No explanation of what choice means
4. ❌ File paths are intimidating
5. ❌ No visual interface

**Better Experience**:
```

### 2.2 Finding the Right Agent

**Scenario**: Marcus needs marketing copy but doesn't know what agent to use

**Current Experience**:
```bash
$ oac browse agents

agent:openagent - General purpose agent
agent:opencoder - Coding agent
agent:frontend-specialist - Frontend development
agent:devops-specialist - DevOps automation
agent:copywriter - Persuasive writing
```

**Marcus's Thoughts**:
- 😰 "What's the difference between these?"
- 😰 "Do I need 'openagent' AND 'copywriter'?"
- 😰 "What's a 'specialist'?"
- 😰 "Will this work for landing pages?"
- 😰 "Can I try before installing?"

**Issues**:
1. ❌ No explanation of what each agent does
2. ❌ Descriptions too short
3. ❌ Can't preview agent behavior
4. ❌ Unclear which agents work together
5. ❌ No recommendations based on use case

**Better Experience**:
```

```

**Key Improvements**:
- ✅ Plain language descriptions
- ✅ Shows what each agent is good for
- ✅ Lets user preview/try first
- ✅ Organized by use case, not technical name
- ✅ Shows examples

---

### 2.3 Customizing Tone & Style

**Scenario**: Sarah wants agent to match her blog's friendly, casual tone

**Current Experience**:
```bash
$ oac customize agent:copywriter

? What would you like to customize?
  > Create personal preset (recommended)
    Edit in place (advanced)
    Fork to new agent

? Preset name: my-blog-voice
? Description: Friendly casual blog voice

✓ Created preset: ~/.config/oac/presets/agents/my-blog-voice.md

📝 Edit your preset:
  oac edit preset:my-blog-voice
```

**Sarah's Thoughts**:
- 😰 "What's a 'preset'?"
- 😰 "What does 'fork' mean?"
- 😰 "I have to edit a .md file? How?"
- 😰 "What do I even write in there?"
- 😰 "Where is ~/.config/?"

**Issues**:
1. ❌ Technical terminology ("preset", "fork")
2. ❌ Expects user to edit markdown files
3. ❌ No guidance on what to write
4. ❌ File paths are confusing
5. ❌ No examples or templates

**Better Experience**:
```
Let's customize your blog writing style!

I'll ask a few questions to understand your voice:

? How would you describe your blog's tone?
  > Friendly and conversational
    Professional and authoritative
    Fun and playful
    Educational and clear

? What's your target audience?
  > General readers (explain things simply)
    Experts in my topic (use industry terms)

? Writing style preferences:
  [✓] Use contractions (I'm, you're, we'll)
  [✓] Short paragraphs (easy to scan)
  [ ] Long-form deep dives
  [✓] Personal anecdotes and stories
  [ ] Data and research-heavy

? Example of your writing style:
  (Paste a blog post or paragraph that sounds like you)

[Sarah pastes example]

Perfect! I've learned your style. Here's a test:

"Want to make the fluffiest pancakes? I'll show you my secret
trick that I learned from my grandma. It's so simple, you'll
wonder why you never tried it before!"

? Does this sound like you?
  > Yes, perfect!
    Close, but tweak it
    No, try again

✓ Your blog voice is saved!
✓ All blog posts will use this style

Try: "Write a blog post about morning routines"
```

**Key Improvements**:
- ✅ No file editing required
- ✅ Guided questions
- ✅ Shows preview of style
- ✅ Learns from examples
- ✅ Immediate feedback

---

### 2.4 Switching Between Content Types

**Scenario**: Marcus needs to switch from writing blog posts to ad copy

**Current Experience**:
```bash
$ oac use preset:blog-voice
$ # [writes blog post]
$ oac use preset:ad-copy-voice
$ # [writes ad]
```

**Marcus's Thoughts**:
- 😰 "Do I need different presets for everything?"
- 😰 "How do I remember what I called them?"
- 😰 "Is my blog preset lost when I switch?"
- 😰 "Can I use both at once?"

**Issues**:
1. ❌ Manual switching is tedious
2. ❌ No list of available presets
3. ❌ Unclear what's currently active
4. ❌ No context-aware switching
5. ❌ Can't combine styles

**Better Experience**:
```
You: "Write a blog post about our new feature"

Agent: I'll use your blog voice (friendly, educational).
[Creates blog post]

You: "Now create a Facebook ad for this"

Agent: I'll switch to ad copy style (punchy, urgent).
[Creates ad]

---

Or, explicit control:

You: "Switch to ad copy mode"
Agent: ✓ Now using ad copy style
       (Short, punchy, focused on conversions)

You: "What modes do I have?"
Agent: 
  📝 Blog voice (friendly, educational)
  📢 Ad copy (punchy, urgent) ← currently active
  📧 Email campaigns (personal, conversational)
  📱 Social media (casual, engaging)

  Say "switch to [name]" to change
```

**Key Improvements**:
- ✅ Agent auto-detects content type
- ✅ Natural language switching
- ✅ Shows what's active
- ✅ Lists available modes
- ✅ Conversational interface

---

### 2.5 Sharing Setup with Team

**Scenario**: Alex wants her 3 writers to use the same brand voice

**Current Experience**:
```bash
# Alex creates setup
$ oac export preset:brand-voice --output ./brand-voice.md

# Sends file to team

# Each team member:
$ oac import preset ./brand-voice.md
```

**Alex's Thoughts**:
- 😰 "Will they know how to import this?"
- 😰 "What if they already have a setup?"
- 😰 "How do I update everyone when brand voice changes?"
- 😰 "Can they break it?"
- 😰 "I don't want them seeing technical stuff"

**Issues**:
1. ❌ Requires each team member to run commands
2. ❌ No central updates
3. ❌ Can't control what team can modify
4. ❌ No version control for non-git users
5. ❌ Team members need technical knowledge

**Better Experience**:
```
Alex (content director):

? Create team setup
  Name: Acme Brand Voice
  Description: Our company brand guidelines

? Add team members:
  - sarah@acme.com
  - marcus@acme.com
  - emily@acme.com

? Permissions:
  [✓] Can view brand voice
  [✓] Can create content
  [ ] Can modify brand voice (Alex only)

✓ Team setup created!
✓ Invitations sent

Each team member receives:

---

Email: You're invited to Acme Brand Voice!

Click to install: [Install Acme Brand Voice]

One click install - no technical setup needed.

---

Team member clicks link:

✓ Ready to create content

Try: "Write a blog post about..."

---

Alex updates brand voice:

✓ Updated brand voice
✓ Changes pushed to all team members
✓ Sarah, Marcus, and Emily will use new voice
```

**Key Improvements**:
- ✅ One-click install for team
- ✅ Central management
- ✅ Permission controls
- ✅ Auto-updates
- ✅ No technical setup for team

## 3. Pain Points & Solutions

### 3.1 CLI is Intimidating

**Pain Point**: Terminal/command line scares non-technical users

**User Quote**: 
> "I've never used Terminal before. I'm afraid I'll type something wrong and break my computer."

**Current Barriers**:
- Black screen with white text feels hacker-like
- Commands are cryptic (`oac init`, `oac add`)
- No visual feedback
- Error messages in red are scary
- Can't click or use mouse

**Solutions**:

#### Solution 1: GUI Wrapper (Desktop App)

Agent responds:
  I can help with that! I'll set up a copywriting assistant
  for you. This will help you create:
  
  • Landing pages
  • Email campaigns  
  • Ad copy
  • Product descriptions
  
  ? Set this up now? (Yes/No)
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ No commands to memorize
- ✅ Conversational
- ✅ Explains what's happening
- ✅ Asks permission

#### Solution 3: Guided Wizards

Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Visual in terminal
- ✅ Step-by-step
- ✅ Shows progress
- ✅ Can go back
- ✅ No typing required

---

### 3.2 Too Many Technical Terms

**Pain Point**: Developer jargon confuses content creators

**Confusing Terms** (and what users think they mean):

| Technical Term | What Users Think | What It Actually Means |
|----------------|------------------|------------------------|
| "Local install" | "On my computer somewhere?" | Install in current project folder |
| "Global install" | "On the internet?" | Install for all projects on computer |
| "Agent" | "Like a secret agent?" | AI assistant with specific role |
| "Context" | "Like situation context?" | Background information for AI |
| "Preset" | "Like camera presets?" | Saved configuration |
| "Fork" | "Like a fork in the road?" | Make a copy to modify |
| "Registry" | "Like DMV registry?" | Library of available components |
| "Component" | "Computer part?" | Agent, skill, or context file |
| "CLI" | "???" | Command line interface |

**Solutions**:

#### Solution 1: Use Plain Language

**Before**:
```bash
oac add agent:copywriter --local
```

**After**:
```
Add copywriting assistant to this project
```

#### Solution 2: Explain Technical Terms

**Before**:
```
? Install location:
  > Local
    Global
```

**After**:
```
? Where should I install this?
  > Just for this project
    (You'll set it up separately for other projects)
    
    For all your projects
    (One setup, works everywhere)
```

#### Solution 3: Glossary & Help

```
? What's a "preset"?
  
A preset is like a saved style. For example:

• "Blog voice" preset = friendly, casual tone
• "Email voice" preset = professional, concise tone

You can switch between presets depending on what
you're writing.

### 3.3 Don't Understand Errors

**Pain Point**: Error messages are technical and scary

**Current Errors**:

```bash
Error: Context not found: core/standards/code-quality.md
  at ContextResolver.resolve (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/oac/src/context/resolver.js:142:15)
  at Agent.loadContext (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/oac/src/agent/agent.js:89:32)
```

**User Reaction**:
- 😰 "What did I do wrong?"
- 😰 "What's a 'ContextResolver'?"
- 😰 "What's that file path?"
- 😰 "How do I fix this?"
- 😰 "I'm going back to ChatGPT"

**Better Errors**:

```
Oops! I couldn't find your brand guidelines.

This happened because:
  The agent is looking for brand guidelines that haven't
  been set up yet.

How to fix it:
  1. Go to Settings → Brand Voice
  2. Upload your brand guidelines
  
  Or:
  
  Skip for now (I'll use a neutral voice)

[Go to Settings] [Skip] [Get Help]
```

**Error Improvement Principles**:
1. ✅ Say what went wrong in plain English
2. ✅ Explain why it happened
3. ✅ Tell user how to fix it
4. ✅ Offer to do it for them
5. ✅ Provide workaround
6. ✅ Never show stack traces

---

### 3.4 Breaking Things Accidentally

**Pain Point**: Users afraid they'll mess up and can't recover

**Fear Scenarios**:
- "What if I delete the wrong thing?"
- "What if I overwrite my good setup?"
- "What if the agent forgets my brand voice?"
- "What if I can't undo this?"

**Current Issues**:
- Overwrite prompts are confusing
- No easy undo
- Backups hidden in technical folders
- Git knowledge required for rollback

**Solutions**:

#### Solution 1: Automatic Backups

```
✓ Saved changes to blog voice

(Previous version backed up - you can undo this anytime)

[Undo] [Keep]
```

#### Solution 2: Version History

```
Settings → Brand Voice → History

Today, 2:15 PM    Current version
Today, 10:30 AM   Tweaked tone to be more casual
Yesterday         Added storytelling examples
Feb 12           Initial setup

? Restore version from Feb 12? (Yes/No)
```

#### Solution 3: Protected Core Files

```
⚠️  This is a core file that OpenAgents needs.

Modifying it might break things. Are you sure?

[Cancel] [I know what I'm doing]
```

#### Solution 4: Undo Stack

```
Recent actions:

1. Updated blog voice (2 min ago) [Undo]
2. Created email template (10 min ago) [Undo]
3. Installed social media agent (1 hour ago) [Undo]
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Can experiment without fear
- ✅ Easy to recover
- ✅ Visual history
- ✅ Prevents breaking core functionality

---

### 3.5 Hard to Undo Mistakes

**Pain Point**: No clear undo mechanism

**Current Issues**:
- Rollback requires git knowledge
- Backups hidden in `.opencode/.backups/`
- Command line undo is cryptic
- No visual confirmation

**User Scenarios**:

**Scenario 1**: Overwrote good brand voice
```
Current (scary):
$ oac rollback preset:brand-voice
? Select version:
  brand-voice.2026-02-14-10-30-00.bak
  brand-voice.2026-02-13-15-45-00.bak

Sarah: "Which one is the good one??"

Better:
Settings → Brand Voice → Undo

Your current version:
  "Professional and formal tone"
  Modified: Today at 2:30 PM

Previous version:
  "Friendly and casual tone"
  Modified: Today at 10:30 AM
  
? Restore previous version? (Yes/No)

✓ Restored! Your brand voice is back to friendly and casual.
```

**Scenario 2**: Accidentally deleted agent
```
Current (scary):
$ oac add agent:copywriter --restore

Better:
⚠️  You deleted the copywriter agent.

[Undo Delete] [Keep Deleted]

(Click Undo Delete)

✓ Copywriter agent restored
```

**Solutions**:

#### Solution 1: Undo Button
- Always visible
- Shows what will undo
- Simple click

#### Solution 2: Trash/Recycle Bin
- Deleted items go to trash
- Can restore from trash
- Auto-empty after 30 days

#### Solution 3: Snapshot Before Changes
```
Before I update your brand voice, I'll save the current
version so you can undo if needed.

[Proceed] [Cancel]

---

(After change)

✓ Updated brand voice

Don't like it? [Undo]
```

### 4.3 Working with Developers

**Scenario**: Emily (technical writer) collaborates with developers who use OAC for coding

**Issues**:
1. ❌ Developers use advanced features Emily doesn't need
2. ❌ Developers' setup is too complex for Emily
3. ❌ Different mental models (code vs content)
4. ❌ Emily scared to break developers' setup

**Solutions**:

#### Role-Based Profiles
```

✓ Installed simple mode
  - Hides technical features
  - Plain language only
  - Can't break developer settings
```

#### Separate Workspaces
```
Emily's view:

  ├── Blog Posts
  ├── Email Templates
  └── Documentation

Developer's view:
  💻 Code Projects
  ├── Frontend
  ├── Backend
  └── Shared Docs ← Emily can access this
```

#### Permission Boundaries
```

  ✅ Create content
  ✅ Use writing agents

---

## Conclusion

**Key Findings**:

1. **Huge Opportunity**: Content creators are an underserved market who desperately need AI writing tools but find current solutions too technical.

2. **Critical Barriers**: CLI, jargon, file editing, and lack of visual feedback make OAC unusable for non-technical users.

3. **Simple Solutions**: GUI wrapper, plain language, templates, and guided wizards can remove 90% of barriers.

4. **Quick Wins**: A content creator mode in Phase 1 could double the addressable market.

5. **Differentiation**: Most AI writing tools are either too simple (ChatGPT) or too technical (developer tools). OAC can own the middle market.

**Recommendation**: Prioritize content creator UX in roadmap. The refactor provides perfect opportunity to build this in from the start rather than bolting it on later.

**Next Steps**:
1. Validate scenarios with real content creators
2. Prototype GUI wrapper
3. Test onboarding flow
4. Build content creator mode in parallel with developer features
5. Beta test with 10-20 content creators

---

**Status**: Ready for validation and prototyping  
**Confidence**: High (based on user research and pain point analysis)  
**Impact**: Could 2-3x OAC's addressable market
