Intelligent Interfaces: Designing AI experiences, behavioural systems and product decisions
Most AI design conversations focus on the model. This book focuses on something harder: what does a person need to see, understand, and act on when a system is making decisions on their behalf? That gap, between what an agent does and what a person can actually follow, is where the real design work happens. The chapters draw on product decisions I have worked through, recurring tensions that appear across teams, and the questions that tend to get skipped when the demo goes well.
Topics include:
✦ AI UX and behavioural systems.
✦ Invisible friction in agentic interactions.
✦ Automation boundaries and trust.
✦ Human oversight in AI-driven decisions: when an agent acts, and when it should ask.
✦ Decision-making in AI-driven products.
✦ Multi-step coordination: making agent logic visible to the people it affects.
✦ Designing AI experiences with clearer limits.
Building something people can trust requires understanding why trust breaks. That is what this book is about. Interested?
