In AI-native systems, users increasingly express goals in natural language and expect systems to figure out the details. Designers must learn how to shape experiences around intent rather than interaction. The challenge is no longer helping users click through workflows, it’s helping systems understand what users truly mean. Help users express goals Learn from users iteratively Offer multiple input options (chat, voice, gestures) Focus on desired outcomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/aadae64b-bb54-4347-9907-7fc12e050ee6/02delegation.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design for Delegation Headless software changes the relationship between users and technology. Instead of manually performing every task, users increasingly delegate work to AI systems. Designers must think carefully about how tasks are handed off, how much autonomy AI should have, and how users remain informed and in control throughout the process. Determine when to escalate Design intervention moments Balance autonomy with control https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/691af803-f0e3-44bb-98c0-cc7a1307100a/03systems.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design Connected Systems As AI agents begin operating software directly through APIs and workflows, the interface becomes only one layer of the experience. Designers must think beyond individual screens and understand how systems, workflows, and operational logic connect together. The most valuable designers will increasingly be those who understand how businesses actually function beneath the UI layer. Think cross-platform / cross system Learn how AI completes work (APIs, MCP, data systems) Map dependencies and business logic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/78079f68-3c23-4a72-a867-7a756d35ecbb/04oversight.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design for Supervision As autonomy increases and automation becomes more powerful, trust becomes one of the most important design challenges. Users need confidence that AI systems are behaving correctly, making reasonable decisions, and remaining accountable. Designers must create experiences that provide visibility, transparency, and opportunities for intervention when needed transitioning the user’s role from operator to supervisor. Design recovery paths Make actions reversible Built trust through transparency Surface AI reasoning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/34932c73-ba36-4426-a880-1bcb256cf890/05context.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design Around Context AI systems become significantly more valuable when they understand context. Designers now play an important role in shaping how systems remember information, personalize experiences, and surface relevant knowledge over time. Context and memory are quickly becoming core experience layers rather than hidden backend functionality. Define what AI should remember Personalize experiences (evolve with usage) Structure contextual data Implement privacy and control https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/64bff862-18ee-416f-9644-ae6521ae725b/06evaluation.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design for Evaluation In AI-driven products, generating outputs is often easy. Evaluating those outputs is much harder. Users increasingly need help assessing confidence, comparing recommendations, and determining whether AI-generated work is trustworthy. Designers must create experiences that support judgment and critical thinking instead of simply accelerating execution. Establish evaluation frameworks Allow for output comparisons Support iterative improvement Explore self-improving systems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/545c72c9-5342-4caa-ac09-eb2f0f0c56d1/07-collaboration.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design Collaborative Workflows The future of software is increasingly collaborative. Humans and AI systems work together rather than independently. Designers must shape workflows where AI assists, recommends, automates, and adapts while humans guide, refine, and make final decisions. Great AI experiences feel less like tools and more like partnerships. Treat AI as a teammate Create shared ownership Engage users at meaningful moments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/32fb9542-72df-4f04-9950-97f96fcbaf31/08adaptability.png Blog - Designing Beyond the Screen - Design for Adaptability Unlike traditional software, AI systems evolve continuously. Experiences become dynamic rather than fixed. Designers must think about how products adapt over time, how users build familiarity with evolving systems, and how trust is maintained even as behaviors change. Designing static interfaces is giving way to designing adaptive systems. Support changing goals and priorities Design systems that evolve Improve experiences via feedback loops Adapt to the user http://www.bryanlarson.ca/blog/2025/7/20/8-principles-for-conversational-ux-design monthly 0.5 2026-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/83613620-43a3-4dcc-af70-8db7ce24e9e3/UX-principles_0007_Layer-1.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 1. Anticipate User Needs Design systems that proactively assist users without requiring them to initiate every action. Leverage predictive models or connectors to surface timely, relevant information before users even ask. Tip: Suggest actions based on what you know about the user. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/ccfdbc8a-cab3-4e23-91db-17dc88c0e1ce/UX-principles_0006_Layer-2.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 2. Help Users Express Goals Clearly AI is only as effective as the input it receives. Great UX in this context means designing interfaces that help users articulate their intent, whether through prompts, constraints, or examples. Tip: Offer structured prompt suggestions as the user types. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/46670ee8-10c7-41b0-a9d9-18fda04ee5e6/UX-principles_0005_Layer-3.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 3. Learn from Users Iteratively AI thrives on feedback. Design mechanisms that collect additional context, corrections, preferences, and exceptions then make sure the system evolves accordingly. Tip: Ask follow-up questions to improve response quality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/05df6e40-8f4c-4456-89c1-c6643f5e9d1d/UX-principles_0003_Layer-5.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 4. Offer Multiple Input Options Clicks and taps are just one part of the interaction spectrum. Voice, gestures, camera input, and even ambient signals (like location or movement) must be considered. Tip: Let users switch seamlessly between text and voice, or better yet, default to voice if you know the user is actively engaged (e.g. driving). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/3983731f-8393-4f1f-b054-6ad1e8eec137/UX-principles_0004_Layer-4.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 5. Embrace Open Configuration Allow users to refine, adjust, or experiment with AI-generated outputs. Interfaces should expose meaningful controls that help users craft effective prompts and inputs. Tip: Embed tools with preconfigured input options within the chat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/7d3ba268-2e28-451c-b2f4-0d68b2ee181f/UX-principles_0001_Layer-7.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 6. Allow for Human Override Users should always be able to step in and redirect, pause, or reverse AI-driven actions. This is about trust, transparency, and maintaining agency. Tip: Display an option to manually edit, regenerate, or stop output in every chat flow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/3bb85356-bcf9-4f6e-b2b2-a5aa55c0eaaf/UX-principles_0002_Layer-6.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 7. Display Logic Transparency AI decisions are often opaque, which can lead to confusion and distrust. Transparency is essential, especially when AI influences important outcomes. Tip: Include contextual source information or a “Why this?” button under key suggestions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/15e6a2be-065b-4910-b126-872b1928fbd0/UX-principles_0000_Layer-8.png Blog - 8 Principles for Conversational UX Design - 8. Preserve User Privacy Ensure privacy is embedded throughout your conversational interface. Only collect essential data, clearly explain why it’s needed, and let users control how long it’s kept. Tip: Provide users with an option where memory is disabled, and always give users clear control over what they store and share. http://www.bryanlarson.ca/blog/2025/7/19/the-next-wave-of-personalized-ai-hardware monthly 0.5 2026-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/da79bc24-011f-4896-b12c-129d4300f198/OpenAI_ConceptDevice.png Blog - The Next Wave of Personalized AI Hardware Concept art for OpenAI and Jony Ive’s inaugural device complete with voice and gesture interaction, biometrics sensor, and accessories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/bf5f4423-b95e-41d7-8a0e-0263b0c01657/smart-toy.png Blog - The Next Wave of Personalized AI Hardware - The device that powers AI companions From smart toys that grow alongside children to humanoid robotics poised to go mainstream, this hardware could become the anchor for a future where AI isn’t confined to a screen or speaker, but embedded seamlessly into the objects and environments we interact with every day. http://www.bryanlarson.ca/blog/2025/7/15/the-end-of-classic-web-browsing monthly 0.5 2026-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/38bd4da3-1ef0-464c-b33b-e9a4c4370eac/TechnologyAdvancements-UXParadigms.png Blog - The End of Classic Web Browsing & The Rise of Zero-Click Search - Make it stand out Advancements in AI computing have introduced the first new UI paradigm in 60 years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54999ebee4b0bb6c8ef7111d/1e43a894-3cbd-4215-aac0-096501f20ea4/Zero-Click-Search.png Blog - The End of Classic Web Browsing & The Rise of Zero-Click Search - The types & percentage of zero-click search One of the most profound manifestations of this shift is the escalation of zero-click search. AI-generated responses are now providing comprehensive answers directly within the search interface, often eliminating the need for users to ever click through to a website. Figures show that as much as 75% of search queries are now being answered without the user ever leaving the search engine [source]. This is a colossal increase from about 50% in 2019 [source], driven primarily by the proliferation of AI summaries and generative AI answers. This adaptation is far from over, as search engines like Google increasingly adopt "AI mode" as a default interface, the expectation is that zero-click behaviour will intensify.
