Experience Designer/Product Designer/Mum: conversational design, mixed reality, autonomous vehicles, human-robot interactions.

[Conversation Design Institute @CDInstitute_]

1️⃣ Conversation design isn’t dead.

It’s evolving to include voice, vision, gestures, and more.

Designing conversations now means designing for everything humans use to communicate - and how AI responds.

[Conversation Design Institute @CDInstitute_]

2️⃣ Trust is everything.

Karen says: “First, don’t mess up. Then, show value.”

Users engage with AI when it’s accurate, reliable, and useful.

3️⃣ Real-time conversations change the game.

Gemini Live lets you talk naturally with AI, not just type and wait.

Open-ended back-and-forth interaction feels far more human.

This full episode with Karen drops next week - and for the first time, it’s free to stream on CDI Academy.

I've seen Meg present some of this work, and I can honestly say everyone can benefit from it; from how you show up at work, how to be a female designer/design leader/design manager, to having more confidence at work and in life. Go Meg!!

@LisaFalkson @cpearl42 @revanhoe @NoelleSilver_ @jencotton @jamesvlahos @montdor @mfarrarmiller And wow we have stories to tell 🤣

[karen kaushansky @kjkausha]

@MaaikeGee @maaikecxd @SDelale @cpearl42 @revanhoe @ElleForLanguage @hvdam @MaaikeGee this is gold! I also work on: vision and strategy which can lead to driving technology/platform improvements, some IxD/multimodal design to ensure a holistic experience across VUI/GUI, and if you work with hardware there is integration/interactions to define/design.

@KukiChatbotDev @MarisaTPP @BethCarey12 @cpearl42 @kusito @talk2machines @PatisNLU This is definitely the hard part of making our assistants conversational! When I try to turn on the lights and the music or turn them off from my display it works! I always set multiple timers - set a timer for 10 minutes and one for 30 minutes

@ajjacobs That's a bit antagonizing, no?
