I animated a conversational AI hero experience for PayD, a platform that helps creators and entrepreneurs manage their finances through natural language conversations.

The goal? Simple. Demonstrate the product’s core value in seconds. Instead of showing a static screenshot, I used motion to simulate a real interaction where a user asks a business question and receives an instant AI-powered financial insight.

Tools used: Rive

The animation was built around a staged conversation flow where messages appear naturally, mimicking a real messaging application.

Careful attention was given to pacing so the interaction feels believable and easy to follow.

The experience was presented inside an iPhone-style interface to reinforce the product’s chat-based user experience.

The animation was built in Rive, allowing it to remain lightweight, scalable, and performant across devices while maintaining smooth motion.

The final hero animation transformed a static product explanation into an interactive story.

Instead of telling users that PayD uses conversational AI, the animation demonstrates the experience directly, helping visitors understand the product within seconds of arriving n the website.
