8 minDesigning for the Intelligence Age
Twelve product principles, intent, conversation-to-state, memory UX, recommendation, transparency, indexed here with one Meal Companion line each. Depth lives in linked notes. read this capstone last in the Designing track.
Illustration for Lead with intent, not instruction listsIntent over instructions
9 minLead with intent, not instruction lists
Users state outcomes in household language. The product compiles intent into working state and plans, not twelve form fields or a feature map users must learn first.
Illustration for Memory is part of UXRecall shapes experience
11 minMemory is part of UX
Users need visibility and control over what is remembered, endorsed, and temporary. Memory surfaces are product surfaces, not backend-only storage.
Illustration for Context is a featureSituation is part of the product
9 minContext is a feature
What the system knows for this run, from calendar, selection, and endorsed knowledge, is curated and designed, not accidental prompt stuffing.
Illustration for Products judged like peopleTrust like a colleague
9 minProducts judged like people
Users describe intelligent software with relational verbs like understanding and forgetting. Design for those judgments explicitly. They map to memory, posture, and collaboration architecture.
Illustration for Point and fixRepair in place
9 minPoint and fix
Select what is wrong on the artifact and describe the repair. Local patches preserve accepted work. Regenerating the whole plan because one evening failed is a posture failure.
Illustration for Conversation before configuration panelsConversation over configuration
8 minConversation before configuration panels
Structured conversation replaces dense settings for everyday intent. Conversation must compile to inspectable state, not remain an ephemeral transcript.
