Design system and AI-native experiences
Design-system foundations and Saige, an AI annotation layer that marks up the interface in place.
Working notes
From the project brief. Draft wording, to be rewritten with Mobin.
- Senior Product Designer work on design-system foundations, reusable UI and AI-aware experiences for education and career exploration.
- Saige: an AI annotation layer that contextualises and marks up the interface instead of living in a separate chat window.
- Possible further stories: the student career explorer, course and university exploration, design-system migration, and balancing personalised guidance with open discovery.
- Mobin supplied working design-system counts and adoption figures. They stay out until confirmed.
