Guided Learning

Break complex tasks into guided steps, adapting to user knowledge levels.

What is Guided Learning?

Guided Learning is an AI design pattern that breaks complex tasks into manageable step-by-step experiences, adapting to each user's knowledge level and pace. Instead of overwhelming users with all features at once, the system progressively introduces concepts with contextual hints and adjusts difficulty based on performance. It's perfect for onboarding new users to complex tools, educational platforms, or any application with a steep learning curve. Examples include Duolingo adapting language lessons to your skill level, Figma's interactive tutorials highlighting relevant UI elements, or GitHub Codespaces guiding environment setup based on your selections.

Adaptive Interfaces

Adaptive & Intelligent Systems

Design an adaptive interface that learns from user behavior: Create a dashboard or workspace showing: 1. **Personalized Layout**: Frequently used features prominently displayed 2. **Smart Widgets**: Modules that reorder based on usage patterns 3. **Adaptation Indicator**: Subtle visual cue showing the interface has learned (e.g., "✨ Customized for you") 4. **Quick Access**: Most-used actions in easy-to-reach locations 5. **Reset Option**: Clear way to revert to default layout or customize manually Show before/after states to illustrate how the interface adapts over time. Include a settings panel for users to control adaptation preferences.

Ambient Intelligence

Adaptive & Intelligent Systems

Design an ambient intelligence interface similar to Google Nest or Apple HomeKit, showing AI that works quietly in the background. Show a dashboard with subtle indicators and automatic adjustments. Include: ambient status display with minimal visual elements (small badges, soft glows), environmental sensors visualization (temperature, motion, light), automatic action history showing what AI changed without user input, contextual cards that appear only when relevant, quiet notification system (no intrusive alerts), and manual override controls that appear on hover. Style: Minimal, calm, unobtrusive. Use soft colors, subtle animations, lots of white space. Avoid bright alerts unless critical. Platform: Web/mobile app, works on tablets and smart displays.

Predictive Anticipation

Adaptive & Intelligent Systems

Design a predictive interface similar to Gmail Smart Reply or Tesla Autopilot, showing AI anticipating user needs. Show proactive suggestions that appear before being asked. Include: main content area with user's current task, predictive suggestion cards appearing at relevant moments (subtle slide-in animation), confidence indicators for each prediction (percentage or visual bars), quick action buttons to accept/dismiss predictions, context panel showing why AI made this prediction, and learning feedback mechanism ('Was this helpful?'). Style: Smart, helpful, not pushy. Use soft blues/purples for AI predictions, smooth animations (300-400ms), ghost buttons for low-confidence suggestions. Platform: Web application, mobile-friendly.
