The Shape of AI is a free, curated pattern library documenting UX patterns for AI interfaces: six categories (Wayfinders, Prompt Actions, Tuners, Governors, Trust Builders, Identifiers), each pattern explained as a mini design essay on what it is, why it matters, and how to design it well.
Completely free, a reference site and newsletter, not a software product with pricing tiers.
Product and UX designers building AI-powered features who want established, reusable interaction patterns (prompt input, human oversight controls, trust/transparency cues) instead of inventing conventions from scratch.
Use this as a reference during AI feature design reviews, the Governors and Trust Builders categories in particular cover human-oversight and transparency patterns that are easy to overlook when focused purely on the happy path.
Exploring how UX will evolve with artificial intelligence.
