In 2024, I explored a new AI chatbot UI for a client. The UI never saw the light of day but it was a fun exploration nonetheless. Chat interfaces are popping up everywhere these days and they tend to be entirely bland. Here I tried to distinguish between the humans and AI using different fonts and colors — an important distinction as we navigate this future! I also experimented with a gradient background that I thought could be in constant motion, which seemed like an easy way to make the experience feel fluid and alive.
