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.

A user interface screen displaying four dark gray action buttons with icons and partial text. The actions are: 'Recognizing... usage patterns in your history,' 'Recommending... new articles based on your day,' 'Ranking... feedback from Peter by relevance,' and 'Generating... a response to the latest mail from Lisa.' The background shows faint, grayed-out icons and text for additional actions like 'Optimizing,' 'Visualizing,' 'Translating,' 'Testing,' and 'Summarizing.
Human needs

When AI actions take time to complete, I want descriptions of what is happening, so I can understand the progress and different types of actions being performed.

Considerations
  • Improved Clarity: Clear, informative text paired with relevant animations helps users understand the status and nature of AI actions, making the interface more transparent and user-friendly.
  • Perceived time: Combining symbolic animations with descriptive text reduces perceived wait times and keeps users informed about the ongoing process.
