The library
11 patterns, shown in the products that shipped them.
Each entry is named, categorized, and illustrated with real examples — plus the analysis screenshots can't give you: why it works, what to steal, what to skip. Where a canonical name exists, we cite it.
01 · Invoke
Getting started and steering: how products turn a blank box into a beginning.
02 · Observe
Watching AI work: reasoning, progress, live workspaces, and system honesty under load.
Live Viewport
A window into the agent's workspace — watch it browse, click, and build in real time.
Scarcity States
Honest UX for the moment the AI runs out — of capacity, quota, or compute.
Stream of Thought
Show the model's reasoning as it happens, so waiting becomes watching.
03 · Verify
Trust and grounding: how claims get sourced, checked, and made inspectable.
04 · Control
Agent oversight: plans, permissions, interruption, and the cost of autonomy.
Action Plan
The agent proposes its plan and waits for approval before touching anything.
Barge-in
Interrupt the AI mid-stream — with voice, a tap, or an escape key — without losing the session.
Credit Metering
Make the cost of generation visible — and spendable — inside the flow.
05 · Remember
Memory and personalization: what the AI keeps, and who's in charge of it.
06 · Transact
AI meets commerce and services: when the conversation becomes the storefront.
