Taste Test
Your AI agent just did 9 things: pulled 412 orders, matched them to Stripe, caught a duplicate £248 charge, drafted a ledger entry, opened a ticket. Whole run cost $0.011.
Now the real design question — what does the user actually SEE?
A — The transcript. A paragraph of text and a collapsed "Used 3 tools".
B — The run canvas. Nine colour-coded rows: what ran, what it cost, what got flagged, and one step that stops and waits for you before money moves.
Same agent. Same run. Two completely different products.
Vote A or B — and tell me why. I build the B version for a living.

One thing I'll defend about B: the amber row. The agent drafted the ledger entry and then stopped — it did not post it. Nine steps ran, one deliberately didn't. You can only design that stop if the UI has somewhere to put it; a transcript has nowhere to show a pause. Curious...
B, and the amber row is the reason. I built a replay viewer for agent runs - timeline, every command with its output, cost per step - and the thing I got wrong first was making the rows tool calls. Nine tool calls is a transcript with colour on it.
What a reviewer actually wants...

Built two pricing sections for a concept invoicing app in code with Claude Code. Same Starter, same Pro, same prices. B only adds a $79 plan that isn't really there to be bought.
Which one gets you to pick Pro, A or B?

B for me. Next to $79, Pro at $24 looks like the sensible middle, and the dark Pro card already does half the work.
AI can generate a dashboard. But can it give a product its own identity?
The first design was created by my client using AI a familiar dashboard style you've probably seen across countless AI-generated products.
I redesigned it to feel less generic and more intentional, with a distinctive visual identity, clearer hierarchy, and an experience built around meaningful celebrations.
The goal wasn't just to make it look better. It was to make it feel like its own product.
What do you think is missing from most AI-generated interfaces?

I think personality is what makes a product stand out. A clean design is good, but it should also feel unique and memorable. 👏
Your design has 3 seconds to earn attention. Which skincare brand wins?
A leads with confidence, energy, and aspiration. B builds trust through nature, freshness, and simplicity.
Great design doesn’t just look good. It makes people feel the brand before they read a word.
A or B? Which would make you stop scrolling?
