AI in Design: Tools, Techniques | Smart Design Patterns for AI Interfaces
Unlock AI's potential by moving beyond basic chatbots. Focus on smarter input/output UX, proactive scoping, and inline actions for truly impactful AI interfaces.
Watch on YouTube ↗Key takeaways
- 💡The current chatbot interface (text box + waiting) is a primitive interaction model that is not the best we can do for AI in 2024/2025, often leading to user frustration and a need for complex prompt engineering.04:00
- 🎯AI fatigue stems from untrustworthy and generic outputs, while AI naivety arises because language models are often gullible and tend to believe user input, leading to hallucinations and a need for careful validation.09:02
- 🔍The core AI interaction experience can be broken down into three parts: Input UX (beyond just a text box), Output UX (how users interact with AI-generated content), and Finetuning UX (iterative refinement of prompts and outputs).21:26
- 🚀Evaluate current AI interfaces for the three key UX areas: Input, Output, and Finetuning, and identify opportunities for improvement beyond basic text input.21:26
- 🚀Advanced design patterns like 'demons' (characters that help explore AI output from different angles) and 'branches' (spatial exploration of claims) offer more dynamic and insightful interactions than simple text prompts.23:14
- 💡Explore and integrate advanced interaction patterns like 'demons' or inline actions to facilitate deeper exploration and more efficient manipulation of AI-generated content.23:14
