What is AI-first UI, and why do you need it now? 🧐
You might have noticed, but a lot has changed in the last year, especially how we interact with applications.
The obvious change - we see a lot more chat UI everywhere, and it has become quite a standard for interacting with AI.
But adding a chat window to your product does not make it AI-first automatically.
So, what does?
It is actually 3 things:
1. Generative UI.
Design moves from static screens to defining the outcomes of generation.
2. Interactive experience.
The prompt itself is no longer about one chat window, but more about the user's journey
3. Your users are not always humans
Good documentation and a simple API are now the UI for agents, which will come to your product as well.
Overall, it is not just a chat window but an intent-first workflow :🤝
Recently, we at DESH.Group developed an AI-powered Web3 platform that enables creating a full NFT collection from start to mint in one user flow.

How do you simplify a platform that does absolutely everything? 🤩
Hey everyone! Mark here.
I’m super excited to share a new case study our team has been working on.
We partnered with a corporate learning platform that had courses, live sessions and credit systems. It’s an amazing product, but as it grew, it just needed a bit more order.
Our goal here was to help organize all these features into a simpler layout for everyday users. Everything started with a basic question: how do people naturally use this product?
We didn’t want them to adjust to a new design. We wanted the design to adjust to them.
Scroll down to see how these small design updates changed everything!

Would love to know what you think🔥
Designing for user habits rather than forcing new ones is top-tier product thinking. 🧠 Small design updates usually make the biggest impact on everyday usability. Awesome work, Mark!
PUFFHS: Artisanal Pastry Landing Page Concept
Welcome to PUFFHS, a conceptual landing page designed for a premium artisanal bakery specializing in gourmet cream puffs. This project reimagines how we browse and buy high-end digital food products.
Most food e-commerce platforms and delivery apps rely on static, uninspiring grid layouts that fail to capture the true tactile appeal of the product. The challenge was to break away from standard UI patterns and create a digital shopping experience that is as mouth-watering and engaging as the pastries themselves, all while keeping complex dietary information accessible
To solve this, I experimented with a highly interactive, motion-driven approach. The core UX innovation is the "Reveal the Puff" mechanic. Instead of forcing users to read long paragraphs about the ingredients, I designed a seamless micro-interaction that allows them to virtually "slice" the dessert with a single click, instantly revealing the rich filling and texture.
Well now im hungry so it seems to be doing its job very well
