Episode notes
Design Is A Meeting Place With AI
- Designers now create a meeting place between humans and synthetic systems instead of just interfaces.
- The core job is guiding intent, verifying understanding, and helping users adapt to model behavior.
Show Examples And Let Users Tune Prompts
- Offer wayfinders like sample galleries and onboarding that show examples of how others use the AI.
- Use tuners (preset styles, prompt enhancers) so users can refine model understanding before running costly requests.
Chat Is A Fast Way To Build Shared Context
- Chat-style interaction efficiently builds shared context and lets users verify model understanding early.
- Over time users shift from prompting to observing, collaborating, and overseeing the AI.
