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. Bridge upstream UX metrics (task success, errors) to downstream business data (support volume, conversion, churn) to move UX from cost center to value driver Prototyping: Your Interface Has a Tone.

The solution: conversational AI that treats uncertainty as usable input, asks targeted follow-ups only when needed, and shares the work of sensemaking @uxdigest
