Filters

Classifying topics

AI excels at classifying vast amounts of content, presenting an opportunity for new, more fluid filter interfaces tailored to the content.

This image shows a user interface with tabs for different categories at the top, such as "Topics," "Interface," "Accessibility," "Customization," and "Feedback." The "Interface" tab is currently highlighted in purple. Below these tabs are three sections representing different comments or discussions, each containing a circular user avatar icon and placeholder text that represents user comments or feedback. The background has a light purple hue.
Human needs

When there is a large amount of content, I want an easy way to search through it so I can quickly find the relevant information for me.

Considerations
  • Limitations of Conventional Filters: In conventional interfaces, filters consist of a fixed set of categories and tags. As time passes, more tags are added and content changes. This can clutter the filter interface and hinder people in finding the information they are looking for.

Exploring language spatially

Use a spatial dimension to explore and manipulate language. By pulling text around on a map, you can play with different features in a playful and meaningful way.

Semantic highlights

Embedding models can rank data based on semantic meaning, evaluating each individual segment on a spectrum to show its relevance throughout the artifact.

Describe processes

AI actions often take time to complete. To improve user experience, use descriptions of what is happening combined with basic animations that represent different types of actions.

Evolving outputs

Generating multiple outputs and iteratively using selected ones as new inputs helps people uncover ideas and solutions, even without clear direction.
