#Accessibility failures in agentic systems do not always look like exclusion. More often, they look like missing disagreement, silent participants, incomplete organizational memory, or teams mistaking workflow silence for real alignment.

We spent decades moving beyond #commandline—toward #interfaces that made work visible.

Now we’re rebuilding everything as chat.
Not because it fits the work, but because the tech allows it.

This isn’t a technical shift. It’s a design regression worth debating.

The Conversation Trap: why defaulting to chat might be the biggest interaction design mistake of the AI era » { design@tive } information design

We didn’t evolve past command lines to return to them in disguise. Not every task should be conversational—and designers should know better.

We’ve spent decades perfecting user flows. But what happens when AI collapses the steps and users just express outcomes? Is “flow” still a useful concept in modern UX—or do we need a new mental model entirely? Let’s debate. #AI #AgenticAI #HumanAgentCenteredDesign #InteractionDesign #InterfaceDesign #UX #ConversationDesign #UXforAI

ChatGPT’s new branching feature is a good reminder that AI chatbots aren’t people

Users can explore multiple paths without losing their original chat thread.

Since the publication of Rebecca Evanhoe's book "Conversations with Things" three years ago, the tech and media worlds have fundamentally transformed, but the conversation-design principles that set the foundation for the book remain as relevant as ever.

I really appreciate Rebecca's ability to truly keep humans at the forefront as she navigates this complex tech and design landscape.
