Users arrive with intent, but not everyone needs the same depth of setup. The challenge was giving configuration its own space without making it a barrier.
Users configure multiple AI models, compare responses, and adjust settings for the same task.
Case Study 01 reduced complexity for new users. This project faced the opposite problem: introducing advanced capabilities without overwhelming the people who needed them — while keeping the experience clear and predictable.
My Role
This pushed me from screen design into system thinking — workflows, navigation, and interaction patterns across desktop and mobile.
I collaborated closely with developers throughout, balancing user needs with what the product could support at each stage.

A dedicated space for
deliberate choices.
Select models first — setup stays separate from conversation.
The decision
Setup deserved its own space — separate from conversation, with room for deliberate choices. Users commit once, then enter with confidence.
Full power.
Small screen.
Desktop puts selection and configuration side by side. Mobile can't — but the workflow doesn't change.
ConstraintWithout side-by-side layout, the workflow had to be restructured around tasks — preserving full capability on a smaller screen.
The decision
Rather than shrinking the desktop layout, I restructured it by task — selection separate from configuration, every desktop capability intact.
Read the way
you think.
Four-column view — every response in one glance. View selector top right.
Parallel AI responses create a density problem — and users process it differently.
Some compare everything at once; others narrow their focus first. The interface had to support both decision styles, not force one.
The decision
View controls manage cognitive load — users choose how much information appears at once, matching how they prefer to decide.
Control isn't the opposite of simplicity.
It's structure.
Complexity isn't removed — it's structured, so users can work with it confidently without feeling overwhelmed.
