What’s included
(05)An AI feature that works in a demo can still confuse, mislead or frustrate the people who use it every day.
-
The ask and the answer
How people tell the feature what they want, and how the reply is shown so it is easy to check, edit or use.
-
Failure states
What the person sees when the answer is wrong, empty, unsafe or unsure, and how they recover without starting again.
-
The wait
Progress, partial results and a cancel button, so a slower AI feature still feels like it is working for you.
-
Voice and tone
Replies, refusals and languages that sound like your brand, not a generic assistant.
-
Consent and a way to a person
Plain words on what the feature does with people’s data, and a clear route to your team when the AI cannot help.
When you need it
- You are adding a chat box or assistant and are not sure it should be a chat box.
- Users do not trust the AI answers, or trust them too much.
- Your AI feature works, but nobody uses it.
- Support tickets are about the AI getting things wrong.
How it runs
(04)You get a written scope, a fixed price and a start date before anyone begins.
-
Frame
We agree what job the feature does for the person and what a good answer looks like.
-
Design
Screens and flows for the ask, the answer, the wait and every way it can go wrong.
-
Stress
We run real and awkward inputs through it, including the ones meant to break it.
-
Hand over
Your engineers get the designs, the states and the rules, ready to build or ship.
What you leave with
- Flows and screens for each AI feature
- Designed failure, empty and unsure states
- Loading and progress patterns for slow answers
- Tone rules for replies and refusals
- Consent copy and a human handover path

FAQ
Answered questions.
The output changes every time and is sometimes wrong. So the design has to show how sure the answer is, let people correct it, and handle failure as a normal case rather than an edge case.
Often not. Many AI features work better as a button, a suggestion or a filled-in draft. We pick the form from what the person is trying to do, not from what is common.
Yes. We review what is there, find where people get stuck or misled, and redesign those parts. Testing on real devices is covered by our QA work.
