Design Patterns For AI Interfaces
As product teams race to include AI in products, they too often rely on a good old-fashioned patterns like an assistant, or a chatbot. However, this experience is often painfully slow, the responses are generic and users have to meticulously explain to AI just what exactly they need — over and over and over again.
In this workshop, we’ll explore shiny new design patterns for better AI experiences, with daemons, clustering, style lenses, structured presets and templates, dynamic editing, temperature knobs and everything in-between! The workshop isn’t about how to use Midjourney, ChatGPT etc., but rather how to design better AI products and experiences.
We’ll cover
- State of AI in 2025: how people use AI interfaces, main slowdowns and blockers,
- How AI works under the hood and how designers can influence AI output,
- Why classic chatbot experience is poor, harmful and counter-productive,
- How to help users specify their intent more precisely,
- How to embed and integrate AI features in existing products,
- How to estimate effort and measure the impact for and of AI features,
- How to support user in refinement journey with daemons, style presets, temperature knobs,
- How to turn AI’s static output in a dynamic and responsive interface,
- How to help users scope generated output based on their interests and preferences,
- How to use clustering and dynamic views to help users explore data from various perspectives,
- How to establish structured templates and partially pre-fill them by AI,
- How to design for agentic UX, and how to support people in complex flows and tasks,
- How to consider accessibility and sustainability in AI interactions,
- How to help users develop trust and confidence for AI interfaces.
You’ll leave the workshop with a toolbox of practical techniques and design patterns to apply for your projects right away. This isn’t a workshop on how to use AI to design, but how to apply design patterns and design process to help your users make the most out of your AI-enhanced products.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for interface designers, front-end designers and developers who’d love to learn about to design interfaces that let users make the most out of your AI systems. You’ll walk away with a toolbox of techniques and examples of doing things well — in your product, website, desktop app or mobile app.
What hardware/software do you need?
You’ll need to bring a lot of creativity with your preferred coffee mug. We’ll be spending a lot of time drawing, sketching, designing and thinking.
Be ready to challenge your general view of the AI design process and how our interface should look like. You’ll need a lot of sleep reserves since it’s going to be a packed day. Bring a lot of attention to detail and non-standard thinking to this one! ;-)
