Bridge the gap between AI hype and real capability

Discovering Where AI Functionality Adds Product Value Today

AI’s value depends on whether you start with a solution in mind or you’re solving an identified user problem.

Is your process solution-first or problem-first?

Too many teams start with the AI they’re building, then get stuck when they don’t know why anyone would use it.

Shift your mindset to start with your users’ experiences

Today’s LLMs do some things well and others poorly. It’s critical that UX folks know AI’s capabilities and limitations.

The 3 dimensions where AI delivers value today

Designing Intuitive AI Functionality 

A chatbot isn’t a perfectly natural UI for your users. Discover what makes it hard to use. Learn what to do about it.

Why AI isn’t intuitive to use by default.

Learn when to provide your users with training and when to simplify the underlying concepts.

Framework: The Magic Escalator of Acquired Knowledge

Natural language relies on “functionality recall,” which is not intuitive to most users. What’s the alternative?

How much AI machinery should you expose to your users?

UX Research Practices You’ll Need to Discover AI’s Value

Identify how to deliver AI functionality that exceeds customer expectations, anticipates needs, and eliminates burdens.

How UX research best uncovers where AI is most valuable.

You want to deliver only what’s necessary to avoid the pitfalls of experience rot. Identify what users don’t need.

How limiting AI’s functional scope avoids complexity.

Use advanced user research techniques to identify needs that users may not be aware would improve their lives.

How the user’s latent needs contribute to innovative AI.

Usability testing, interviews, and surveys won’t identify AI’s actual value. You’ll need a strategic research upgrade.

Why AI demands a more mature UX research practice.

Designing Valued AI Functionality

Delivering AI alone won’t lead to success. UX professionals have an opportunity in this “AI-all-the-things” world.

Why is there immense pressure to deliver AI capabilities?

People equate current-day AI with innovation. This allows us to focus on value instead of the product’s inner workings.

How the amorphous nature of AI works to our advantage.

Poor UX is when we fail to deliver what our users need. Great UX is when we exceed expectations and anticipate needs.

How to ensure your AI functionality is a great experience.

Building an effective and valued app layered on LLM functionality to reduce the burden of clinical practitioners.

Case Study: Building an ambient clinical scribe.

Shifting away from what happens when stakeholders present AI functionality as an already-chosen solution.

Why we need a problem-first approach.

Why Designing for GenAI is Different

Today’s Large Language Models are limited in what they can do well. Our UX work needs to bring out their best.

Optimize your designs for what GenAI is best at.

Designing a prompt-based user interface presents special challenges that require a sophisticated, nuanced approach.

GenAI design is a conversation between users and the LLM.

How do you deliver innovative, groundbreaking solutions when working within the limitations of today’s AI capabilities?
