UX for GEN AI
View solution designed in 2024
OVERVIEW
It started by reduce friction by preserving context. But how do we design memory users can trust and built over time.
I designed an AI assistant to reduce that friction by preserving context within a project.
Revisiting this work in 2026 allowed me to step back and ask a bigger question. Not just how do we help AI remember, but how do we design memory users can trust and build on over time.

Reducing Repetion by Preserving Context
AI assistant that allowed users to define context once and return to conversations without re-explaining their needs. The focus was on efficiency.

Supporting Continuity & Adaptability
As AI capabilities expand, users need visibility over what the system remembers. There shouldn't be freezing context at the moment of setup.

PROBLEM WITH ASSISTANTS
Assistants retain context, but rarely signal when it becomes outdated, making it difficult for users to trust whether responses are still relevant or accurate.
PREVENTING CONTEXT DECAY
AI assistants often become outdated quietly, so the real opportunity is not automatic adaptation, but making change visible and actionable for users.
Surfacing clear signals when instructions, documents, or assumptions no longer reflect the current scope, and gently prompt users to review or update them at the right moments.

TRUST THROUGH VISIBILITY
Instead of hiding how responses are generated, the assistant must clearly show what information it’s using/referencing.
Providing simple, inline cues such as “Using earlier research” or “Based on draft v1” that explain where a response is coming from, helping users understand and trust the output without additional setup.

THOUGHTS
Trust in AI comes from visibility. Knowing what the system is using and when it needs updating!
