Senior Product Designer Pranava Tandra breaks down the process, from balancing simplicity with depth to making AI features more discoverable. She chats with Senior Director of Product Management Michelle Fitzpatrick about the challenges, trade-offs, and lessons learned in structuring a fast-evolving product for clarity and ease of use.
