19 hours agoPsychology says people who reply to messages within seconds aren't just efficient - they've built their sense of safety around being reachable, because somewhere in their past, being slow to respond had consequences - Silicon Canals
Instant responses to messages often stem from a psychological need to mitigate perceived threats rather than mere efficiency.

23 hours agoPsychology says people who would always rather call than text aren't demanding more of your time - they're asking for the one thing that separates a real conversation from the performance of one, which is the sound of another person being alive on the other end, and that need is not inconvenient, it is human - Silicon Canals
Phone calls foster deeper connections than text messages, capturing nuances of emotion that typed words cannot convey.

2 days agoPsychology says people who are cold through text but warm in person aren't being inconsistent - they're showing you exactly where their warmth lives, which is in the room, in the eye contact, in the unrepeatable presence of another human being, and the medium that removes all of those things removes most of what they have to give - Silicon Canals
People's communication styles reflect their emotional energy, not their intentions or feelings towards others.

Conversational narcissism involves shifting focus in conversations back to oneself, often without awareness, hindering genuine connection.

3 weeks agoDesigning AI Experiences People Actually Use
For decades in SAAS, products reduced ambiguity. Users supplied constrained inputs, and the system handled the output. It's never been Minority Report cinematic, but it was predictable. By providing predictable environments for manipulating data, users learned by moving things, adjusting variables - and the outcome emerged through interaction.

The majority of AI products remain tethered to a single, monolithic UI pattern: the chat box. While conversational interfaces are effective for exploration and managing ambiguity, they frequently become suboptimal when applied to structured professional workflows. To move beyond "bolted-on" chat, product teams must shift from asking where AI can be added to identifying the specific user intent and the interface best suited to deliver it.

1 month agoAI's text-trap: Moving towards a more interactive future
LLMs have made AI assistants a standard feature across SaaS. AI assistants allow users to instantly retrieve information and interact with a system through text-based prompts.

The Closed Approach involves a conversational assistant embedded directly within a single SaaS product. Examples include Zoom's AI Companion, Salesforce CRM's Einstein, and Microsoft's Copilot.
