Matching AI Modality To User Intent: Designing The Right Interface A framework for matching AI interface modality to user intent and context — use a Task Audit (observe physical, social, cognitive constraints) and Input/Output Alignment Matrix to pick the right combination (voice for hands-busy, visual dashboards for analysis, alerts for monitoring). The key: AI fails if delivered through a lazy text interface; modality choices must be grounded in real-world observation, not convention NNG: Stop Reporting UX Activity and Report Business Outcomes An NN/g guide on reporting UX impact: stop reporting activity ("24 interviews") or UX metrics (SUS scores) — connect your work to business outcomes leaders care about: revenue, cost, risk, speed, retention.
