What is this summit 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.

Themes explored

Delegation & control Trust & oversight Human-in-the-loop Guardrails Agent interfaces Errors & recovery

This Is Your Brain on Automation: Cognitive Expansion as the Killer Feature

Stef Hutka, PhD, UC Berkeley

9:30 AM PT12:30 PM ET5:30 PM BST

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.

10:00 AM PT1:00 PM ET6:00 PM BST

Where Developers Want AI Agents and Where They Don't

Shavon Bernard, MongoDB

10:30 AM PT1:30 PM ET6:30 PM BST

Staying in Control Amid the Scaling Demands of Agentic Product Development

Mate Rauscher, Databricks

Clarity Is the Work: Building B2B Products for the Agentic Era

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.

11:30 AM PT2:30 PM ET7:30 PM BST

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.

12:00 PM PT3:00 PM ET8:00 PM BST

Designing for the Moment an Agent Gets It Wrong

Ivana Liang, Inmar

Trust is won or lost at the point of failure. The design patterns that let users catch, correct and recover from agent mistakes without losing confidence in the product.

9:00 AM PT12:00 PM ET5:00 PM BST

AI as the Consumer: Optimizing UX Deliverables for AI Consumption

Audrey Bryson, Indeed

9:30 AM PT12:30 PM ET5:30 PM BST

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?

10:00 AM PT1:00 PM ET6:00 PM BST

Designing Trustworthy AI Agents in Enterprise Products

Marti Bruno, Toptal

11:00 AM PT2:00 PM ET7:00 PM BST

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.

11:30 AM PT2:30 PM ET7:30 PM BST

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%.
