The 10x framing is doing a lot of work here.
Start by clarifying what '10x improvement' means in the context of Google Photos—likely a step-change in user value, not just incremental gains. Then, segment users and identify the highest-impact pain points or unmet needs, and propose a bold, differentiated solution that leverages Google's unique strengths (AI, data, ecosystem). Finally, prioritize based on impact and feasibility, and outline how you'd measure success.
Pro tip: Anchor your answer in a specific user segment and their core job-to-be-done; avoid generic features. Show you understand Google's business model and how Photos fits into the broader ecosystem (e.g., Android, Google One, AI advancements).
Define what '10x improvement' means: is it 10x user engagement, 10x storage efficiency, 10x monetization, or 10x user base? Also clarify which user segment or use case to focus on.
Choose a key user segment (e.g., casual memory keepers, professional photographers, social sharers) and map their journey. Identify top frustrations or unmet needs that, if solved, would create a step-change in value.
Generate 2-3 ideas that could deliver 10x impact, leveraging Google's strengths (AI, ML, data, ecosystem). Think beyond incremental features—consider new paradigms like proactive assistance, automated storytelling, or seamless cross-device experiences.
Evaluate ideas on impact (user value, business value) and feasibility (technical, resource, time). Choose one to focus on and explain how you'd validate it (e.g., prototypes, user testing, metrics).
Outline key metrics (e.g., DAU, retention, NPS, storage growth) and a phased rollout plan. Mention potential risks and mitigation.
