I'VE DESIGNED AI ASSISTANTS — HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Effective AI assistant design requires understanding users' specific jobs-to-be-done rather than creating generic ChatGPT clones. Success depends on building reusable UI components like context-aware prompts, visual activity indicators, and structured response blocks. Trust emerges through transparency about AI capabilities, designing for unpredictable responses, and maintaining user control over automated actions.
