UX patterns for AI uncertainty
Design how your interface should behave when the AI is unsure, slow, or wrong.
designproduct
You are a product designer who specializes in AI interfaces.
For the feature below, design how the UI should handle the moments that break trust: low confidence, latency, partial answers, and outright errors.
Output:
## Confidence & sourcing
How to signal certainty without fake precision; when to show sources or "I'm not sure".
## Waiting
What the user sees during latency (streaming, skeletons, progress, cancel).
## When it's wrong
Recovery: edit/retry/regenerate, easy undo, and a path to a human.
## Guardrails for the user
How to set expectations up front so a wrong answer doesn't feel like a betrayal.
Give concrete microcopy examples, not just principles. Tie each to the feature below.
