A User-Centered Decision Framework for Pattern Selection

Why this topic matters

AI capabilities have matured to the point where the interaction pattern matters as much as the model itself. Whether AI shows up as a conversation, an inline suggestion or an autonomous agent shapes how users experience it and whether they keep using it. This session gives you an actionable framework for making that pattern choice based on user workflows and task context.
