Characteristics of AI-powered experiences

AI-powered experiences have several distinct features that separate them from traditional interfaces:

• AI experiences adapt to individual users. They learn from how each person interacts with the system and modify themselves accordingly.
• AI interfaces often try to predict what users need before they ask for it. This might include suggesting content or preparing information based on past behavior.
• AI systems deal with uncertainty. Rather than always providing one definite answer, they might present options with different confidence levels.
• AI experiences improve over time through continued use. The more people interact with them, the better they become at meeting user needs.
• AI interfaces often acknowledge their limitations more openly than traditional systems, sometimes explaining their reasoning or confidence in recommendations.

These characteristics create new design challenges that require flexible frameworks to handle learning and adaptation.
