When you're designing a product that includes AI services as a UX/UI Designer, your process should blend standard design principles with a clear understanding of how AI works behind the scenes — and how users interact with it.
Here’s a step-by-step UX/UI process tailored for AI-based projects:
๐ง 1. Understand the AI Capabilities
Before jumping into design:
Collaborate with Data Scientists/Engineers to understand what the AI can and cannot do.
Ask: What kind of AI is being used? (e.g., machine learning, NLP, computer vision, generative AI)
Understand data input/output — Does it need text, voice, images, or structured data?
๐ 2. User Research with an AI Lens
Go beyond traditional research:
Identify user goals, fears, and trust issues with AI.
Conduct user interviews or surveys focused on:
Expectations from the AI (speed, accuracy, autonomy)
Previous experience (good or bad) with AI tools
Comfort level with automation and data sharing
๐ 3. Define UX Flows with AI Interactions
Create user journeys that show where AI steps in:
E.g., “User uploads a document → AI summarizes it → User accepts/edit summary”
Clearly separate human vs AI responsibilities
Plan for feedback loops — allow users to give feedback to the AI (critical for improving models and trust)
๐ฏ 4. Map Ethical & Trust Considerations (UX for AI ≠ Normal UX)
Incorporate:
Transparency: Show how decisions are made. Use confidence levels or “why this recommendation?” prompts.
Control: Let users override or undo AI decisions.
Bias awareness: Ensure you represent data and outputs fairly (especially if AI affects people’s opportunities).
๐งช 5. Design Wireframes and Prototypes with AI Interactions
Design UI elements for:
Confidence scores (e.g., “75% sure this is a duplicate”)
Loading states for long AI computations
Explanation modals or tooltips (why AI made this choice)
Manual input alongside AI suggestions
Use progressive disclosure to avoid overwhelming users.
๐จ 6. Visual Design System for AI Interfaces
Include:
Color feedback (e.g., green for confident AI suggestions)
Icons or animations for AI processes ("thinking", "learning", "suggesting")
Typographic hierarchy for AI vs user content
๐ 7. Prototype & Test Early with Realistic AI Behaviors
Simulate AI outputs in prototype tools (Figma, ProtoPie)
Get feedback on errors, corrections, and explanations
Test with real edge cases (e.g., wrong predictions, no data situations)
๐ 8. Continuous Design + Model Feedback Loop
Work with the dev/ML team to gather user interaction data:
Where do users disagree with AI?
Which suggestions are ignored?
Iterate UI/UX based on how users adapt (or don’t) to the AI
