Lens 7: Persona Interrogation 🤖
An embodied AI partner—tutor, coach, therapist, creative collaborator. Focuses on depth over speed, building continuity through memory and consistent character. You can inspect, modify, delete memories in real-time.

Lens 6: Signal Monitoring 🚨
High-volume event streams where milliseconds count. AI classifies signals, executes pre-authorized responses, escalates edge cases. Critical for fraud detection, incident response, industrial safety—anywhere rapid response matters.

Lens 5: Ecosystems Exploration 🌐
Complex systems as dynamic causal graphs. You adjust parameters and watch ripple effects unfold. AI reveals downstream impacts and high-leverage intervention points. Suitable for supply chains, climate modeling, epidemiology.

Lens 4: Landscape Generation 🗺️
Knowledge becomes explorable terrain. Topics cluster together, similarity creates distance, zoom changes detail level. AI scouts promising areas while you navigate. Perfect for research databases, drug discovery, any vast information space.

Lens 3: Goal Planning 🎯
Organize work around outcomes in a strategic hierarchy. You set the high-level goals, AI suggests sub-goals and execution plans. Every metric connects back to what actually matters. Works beautifully for OKRs and strategy management.

Lens 2: Process Completion ⚡
Workflows become living playbooks instead of static checklists. Clear swim lanes show what’s human-only, AI-only, or collaborative. Great for CI/CD pipelines, CRM workflows, approvals—AI handles routine work, you handle the decisions.

Lens 1: Artifact Creation 🎨
Turn any creative surface into a collaborative workspace. You write, AI does inline generation and refactoring. GitHub Copilot is a perfect example—intelligence woven directly into the creative process.

🧵 The @ycombinator.com.web.brid.gy talk by @karpathy.bsky.social had a great insight about “partial autonomy”—humans and AI working together, each bringing unique strengths. We’ve been working on Seven Lenses to help designers build these collaborative interfaces.

Key insight from last Thursday’s “Human-Centered Design in a Machine-Centered Future” panels organized by IDEO SF and TEDAI:
Design matters.
Instead of changing our definitions of art, culture, and society to fit the AI narrative, we can shape our relationship with AI.

Experimenting with @figma.com Make—built this interactive 3D globe mapping the 250 largest cities by population and GDP.
Just a few prompts and it nailed the visual style I was going for. The speed of iteration on complex #dataviz is honestly wild 🌍

The real opportunity isn’t another input method or device.
It’s fundamentally reorienting interfaces around collaboration—where AI amplifies human creativity and judgment rather than replacing it.
That’s the paradigm shift: from operating AI to thinking with AI.

But here's where I disagree with the #ZeroUI narrative:
Visual interfaces aren't disappearing. They’re becoming multimodal.
At @schemadesign.com we’re exploring #IntelligentInterfaces that respond to intent, not just commands, and adapt seamlessly across voice, gesture, context, and visual.I

Jony Ive talks about 3 major modalities in computing history:
- Command line
- GUI (mouse, folders, windows)
- Mobile (voice, multitouch, gestures, haptics)
Any other forms we’ve seen are just “tributaries.”
Now he’s betting on a fourth.

From a developer’s perspective, interfaces have become increasingly abstracted from source code.
Yet paradoxically, every UI evolution has reduced layers of abstraction for humans, getting us closer to directly manipulating content vs. wrestling with the machine.

Jony Ive and Sam Altman are building “quiet” AI hardware that could introduce computing’s fourth modality which some are also thinking of as ZeroUI.
But the real shift isn’t about eliminating interfaces—it’s about evolving from AI as a tool to AI as a thinking partner.
