Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Claude Computer Use, Product Intuition, Author Chris Noessel ("Designing Assistant Technology")
Q: I'm curious what's motivated you to come out with this book at this time.
Noessel explains that generative AI's rapid rise necessitated a practical framework for interaction design, building on prior work about agentive tech, while addressing the risk of de-skilling and the need to design assists that genuinely help users think and perform better.
AI Image Editors, Institutional v Individual AI, Author Louise MacFadyen ("Designing AI Interfaces")
Q: How should latency be treated in AI design, and is there a learning from slow AI?
Latency should be anticipated and communicated; designers can offer escape hatches (like smaller models) and design patterns that help users understand what is happening, especially when deep reasoning is involved.
AI Image Editors, Institutional v Individual AI, Author Louise MacFadyen ("Designing AI Interfaces")
Q: Can you talk about the middle piece of the input-computation-output framework and why it's confusing?
The middle piece—the computation—has historically been opaque; designers must articulate what happens under the hood since engineers often don't fully understand it either. This is where clear UX and explanations matter most.
AI Image Editors, Institutional v Individual AI, Author Louise MacFadyen ("Designing AI Interfaces")
Q: What is the book about and why did you write it?
The book stems from a desire to codify experiences with AI in design, focusing on how users experience AI, the knowledge they bring, and how to structure AI interfaces in a way that supports meaningful interactions, not just technical prowess.
