Solving User Behavior Friction in Google Pay’s Payment Experience

This project aimed to identify and solve user behavior friction in Google Pay’s payment insights experience, specifically why users disengage from spending insights despite frequent app usage. Over a 2-week period, I conducted both primary and secondary research, including user interviews, survey analysis, behavioral pattern study, and competitive benchmarking to uncover gaps between transaction data and meaningful behavioral understanding. This was a personal end-to-end product case study, covering problem discovery to solution design.

I used Google Forms for survey collection and analysis, ChatGPT Deep Research for market and behavioral insights, and built structured thinking frameworks like a KPI tree on Whimsical. For solution design, I created system user flows, UI analysis using Balsamiq, and finalized prototyping and documentation in Lovable and PowerPoint. The outcome was an AI-driven behavioral insights concept designed to improve user trust, engagement, and insight revisit rates.
