AI is breaking free — an emerging AI-UX trend

AI is breaking free — an emerging AI-UX trend

Parallel thinking in a non-traditional UI.

Lately I’ve been seeing a new AI-UX trend emerge. 

It was bound to come, as foreseen in Aiverse’s “Trending AI-UX Patterns”. We started with a conversational UX, the first user experience allowing us mere mortals to the experience the power of AI. As the technology became more standardised, more use cases started coming up. 

Product teams started using it with the existing UI, as it happens when a new technology arrives. 

How arrival of technology combines with UI, ref. from the “Trending AI-UX Patterns” ebook

For example, Elicit’s “parallel thinking” AI-UX is an example of how AI can be used with the old UI paradigm. A beautiful implementation. Even V7 Labs’ Go product used excel type layout enabling users to use AI parallely. 

But if you’ve been following aiverse’s insights, you already know about the "parallel thinking" trend. This is about a new trend, a trend that’s breaking free and going beyond the limits of traditional UI.

Parallel thinking in a non-traditional UI

To use the full potential of AI, product teams have started realising it doesn’t need to think linearly, like we humans do. There doesn’t have to be a step 1, step 2, … etc. You can create a linear process, hand it off to AI and then run multiple linear processes parallelly. 

And to have control over the parallel process, traditional UI doesn’t work. Humans are being elevated to an overview stage, foreseeing multiple process than executing multiple processes. “Thinking” ontrol over multiple

Extending Elicit’s and V7’s example, the new trend uses parallel thinking but in an infinite canvas. More range to play around.
