What it's about
When software can book flights, move money, and change the plan on your behalf, the design problem moves from screens to trust. This is the summit for the designers working on that.

The agenda
This Is Your Brain on Automation: Cognitive Expansion as the Killer Feature
Stef Hutka, PhD · UC Berkeley
Design agentic experiences people trust by shifting from cognitive replacement to cognitive expansion, using HCI first principles to turn AI into a true human force multiplier.
Designing Intent into AI Agents
Raff Di Meo · Optimizely
An agent without designed intent is just speed without direction, fast, confident, and often wrong. The thinking that has to happen before you let AI act on someone's behalf.
Where Developers Want AI Agents and Where They Don't
Shavon Bernard · MongoDB
Developer research on MCPs, agentic AI and agent skills: which tasks people delegate to agents, where they keep control, and what that means for trustworthy agent UX.
Staying in Control Amid the Scaling Demands of Agentic Product Development
Mate Rauscher · Databricks
How designers keep their hands on the wheel as agentic product development scales around them.
AI Won't Untangle B2B Complexity; Product Clarity Will
Katie Shelly · Vonage
As AI reshapes how we work, the durable value for builders of multi-persona products in regulated, matrixed environments is making human, organizational and systemic complexity clear.
The Website Isn't Dead: Designing for the Intelligent Web
Andrea Wofford · WP Engine
As AI changes how people discover and interact with brands, designers need to rethink the role of the website and the experiences we create.
AI as the Consumer: Optimizing UX Deliverables for AI Consumption
Audrey Bryson · Indeed
Structuring UX research and deliverables so LLMs and agents can actually consume them, because your next reader might not be human.
Stop Designing for Agents
Paul Smith · Google
What if the best agentic experience is one where the user never thinks about the agent? And the harder question: after someone uses your agent for three years, what have they become better at?
Designing Trustworthy AI Agents in Enterprise Products
Marti Bruno · Toptal
Practical UX patterns for AI agents that balance autonomy, transparency and human oversight, with real-world lessons on building AI experiences users can trust.
Designing the Invisible Interface: UX Patterns for Agentic Workflows
Holly Reynolds · Pendo
UX patterns for agentic workflows, drawn from AI work shipping at Pendo.
Designing UI Surfaces That Flex With Agentic Complexity
Veethika Mishra · GitLab
Agentic flows are sometimes autonomous and sometimes need a human sign-off. A governance case study, and a pattern that stays ambient until a real decision needs full context.
The Transparency Tightrope: Designing Voice AI People Trust
Sudar Ganes · Yelp
Disclosing too much kills engagement, too little breaks trust. Lessons from designing Yelp's voice agents, including the experiments that cut transfer-to-human rates by 22%.
