But if you could get AI to suggest interface elements to people and do that in a way that actually makes sense, I think that could unlock a whole new era of design in terms of creating contextual designs that are responsive to what the user’s intent is at that moment.

We can do this by building our systems with the ability to behave more collaboratively: to ask relevant questions, to offer multiple potential paths to help the user evolve their knowledge and intent, and to provide evidence of progress toward shared understanding.

Good design doesn’t happen in isolation. It balances user needs and business outcomes. It flexes. It listens. It collaborates.
