🔮 AI Interaction Design Patterns (https://www.shapeof.ai), a fantastic (!) living catalog of emerging design patterns, heuristics, anti-patterns and real-life examples that shape the experience of AI — from identifiers and wayfinding to prompts, tuners and trust indicators. Incredible project by incredible Emily Campbell. 👏🏼 👏🏽 👏🏾

AI experience can go way beyond ChatGPT. One of the most underrated yet impactful patterns for AI interfaces is the ability to tune AI experience. This could show itself as a style lenses or temperature knobs — little tools to help users generate a more personalized output easier. E.g. Sad ↔ Happy, Concrete ↔ Abstract, Creative ↔ Precise.

Instead of expecting large and highly detailed text prompts, we could help users articulate their intent with prompt presets, templates or constructors. Perhaps by defining a expected format, structure, personas, roles as checkboxes or chips — both for user input and AI responses (priming).

Another much-needed feature is scoping. Users should be able to quickly scope their inquiry to a particular domain, source or even a set of videos or PDFs. That’s one of the features that would make output much more specific without having to write a long prompt.

And: the AI output shouldn’t be bulky nor static. Users should be able to granularly iterate or revise little bits of it — e.g. by asking for sources of specific statements, or diverging from one view to another, or manipulating small parts of an image or a video. These refinements should happen not with text prompts, but contextually — on the relevant parts of AI outcome.

We can go way beyond a text prompt alone. Better results come from combining good old-fashioned design patterns such as search or filtering with AI — to first find relevant and trustworthy sources, and then generate insights from them. That’s a great way to boost accuracy and make AI more relevant to more people.
