Product-market fit (PMF) for AI products means aligning a solution closely with distinct market needs, delivering clear value that naturally drives ongoing demand. Achieving this can be seen as an art of craftsmanship—a thoughtful design that conveys quality and earns trust. Humans can be unpredictable with technology; many expect some sort of magic from AI if only they…

Most all of my projects follow basic design guidelines from WCAG, which covers a lot of issues for all users. Clear text, correct contrast, etc. is key; the interface should not compete with the task flow or the feedback from the system. You will notice in my portfolio that containers/components are modular/expandable/scalable, they are meant to be grouped,…

Regulations and governance for AI agents are evolving rapidly, focusing on risk-based frameworks and the need for robust oversight. The European Union's AI Act represents a comprehensive regulatory approach, classifying AI systems by risk level—unacceptable, high, limited, or minimal risk—and imposing corresponding requirements, particularly for high-risk systems used in sensitive sectors. This legislation includes specific provisions for general-purpose AI…

Microsoft principles and guidelines for building agentic experiences By Microsoft Design - April 2025 Mark Weiser, the visionary behind ubiquitous computing, once said, “The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.” In other words, good design is invisible, allowing us to accomplish tasks…

Agentic UX refers to a design paradigm that emphasizes the development of AI systems capable of acting autonomously, making decisions, and adapting to user needs. It shifts the focus from traditional, predefined user journeys to more flexible, personalized, and dynamic interactions. This approach allows users to articulate their goals, while AI systems handle the pathways to achieve them, resulting…

The future of digital experience is here — but it’s being minced into microscopic use cases. Alex Klein May 6, 2024 TLDR: The thing missing from AI user experience is, well, the experience. It’s been 17 months since the tech gods bestowed generative artificial intelligence on us. Here’s a state of the union for AI UX: A bunch…

“We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents 'join the workforce' and materially change the output of companies,” said Sam Altman.  Greg Nudelman - March 18, 2025 What are AI Agents? Imagine an ant colony. In a typical ant colony, you have different specialties of ants: workers, soldiers, drones, queens, etc. Every ant in…

What good is AI if people don’t trust it, or if we strip away the familiar interfaces and user experiences we’ve developed over the years. Without that, AI will struggle to be adopted—just like the internet did before usability standards were introduced in the early 2000s. It feels like AI is being pushed on us before it has…
