The Designer's Playbook for AI Products The old rules still apply (mostly) Here's something that surprised me: designing for AI isn't as alien as it sounds. The fundamentals (user needs, clear feedback, intuitive flows) don't disappear just because there's a language model involved. If anything, they matter more. When the system can generate unpredictable outputs, your job as a designer is to create enough structure that users don't feel lost.

Vercel's AI SDK solved the complex challenge of integrating AI into applications. AI SDK provides a unified TypeScript toolkit that abstracts away the complexity of working with various large language models (LLMs). However, as developers adopted AI SDK for backend integration, they faced a new challenge: crafting great frontend user interfaces for AI applications. Building conversational UIs, message displays, and interactive elements required significant time and expertise.
