Overwhelmed by AI resources? Can’t tell which ones are worth your time or where to even begin?We’ve been exploring the AI landscape from a designer’s perspective and handpicked a few gems we think you’ll find interesting.
Wondering about AI & UI
This article argues that where AI appears in a user interface (its spatial placement) shapes how users perceive, trust, and interact with it. Identifying seven emerging UI patterns (from chat widgets to side panels to AI-powered canvases and spreadsheets), each aligning with a different AI role like assistant, collaborator, or expert. Ultimately, designers must intentionally choose AI placement to match the user’s workflow and mental model, since layout communicates the AI’s purpose as much as its capabilities.
Wanna learn something about UX patterns
This guide outlines UX design patterns for creating effective AI experiences. As AI shifts interfaces from command-based to intent-based inputs, some existing patterns still apply while new ones emerge. Abstracted examples highlight core interactions, helping designers and developers adapt these patterns to their own products.
The website Shape of AI explores how user-experience design must evolve to accommodate artificial intelligence, presenting a structured catalogue of design patterns like wayfinders, tuners, governors and trust builders for AI-driven interfaces. It offers both a visual “UX library” of patterns and an explanatory “about” section to help designers integrate AI thoughtfully into their products.
