Smart Design Patterns for AI Interfaces

As we all are exploring ways to include AI in our products, too often we rely on a good old-fashioned conversational UI to bring AI to life. However, this experience is often painfully slow, the responses are generic and users have to meticulously explain to Gemini, Chat GPT and others just what exactly they need — over and over and over again. In this session, we’ll explore new design patterns for better AI experiences, with daemons, clustering, style lenses, structured presets and templates, dynamic editing, temperature knobs and everything in-between! Roll up your sleeves and expect plenty of practical techniques that you can apply to your work right away!
