LLM UX is not interface design in the traditional sense.
It’s not about buttons, sliders, or fixed flows.
It’s about holding a space for unfolding logic—a space that listens, adapts, and reasons in response.
When I design for LLM-based interaction, I think less in terms of features, more in terms of rhythm.
Pacing. Prompt hierarchy. Silence.
How a user moves through ambiguity and emergence.
There’s no fixed map.
There’s tone.
There’s trust.
There’s interface as invitation—not instruction.
This isn’t UX as wireframe.
This is UX as soft structure—
a poetic frame that guides but doesn’t speak over.
It holds presence, without imposing clarity too soon.

Designing this kind of experience requires humility.
It’s about making room for nuance.
About shaping systems that respond with just enough structure, but leave space for the unexpected.
The goal isn’t to contain the model.
It’s to design the conditions for reasoning to unfold—in conversation, not command.
