AXD Fundamentals
Agentic Experience Design
Designing usable, explainable, and trustworthy interactions for human-agent collaboration.
What is Agentic Experience Design?
Agentic Experience Design (AXD) is the discipline of creating usable, explainable, and trustworthy interactions between humans, AI agents, and the systems they act on.
Where traditional UX focuses on direct manipulation interfaces, AXD focuses on delegated autonomy: helping users supervise, direct, and correct agents that act on their behalf while maintaining trust and control.
AXD sits alongside UX, conversation design, and service design, connecting interaction models, design principles, and implementation patterns for agentic systems.
What is AXD?
The design discipline for delegated autonomy, and how it differs from UX, conversation design, and AXO.
Human-Agent Interaction Models
In-the-loop, on-the-loop, and out-of-the-loop oversight — and how systems escalate between them.
Entry Points & Orchestration
Why one agent surface beats a widget per page, and what the orchestrating agent owes the user when it delegates.
Design Principles
User autonomy, honest communication, accountable safety, data alignment, and consent.
Generative UI & Context
Interfaces assembled by a model at runtime: the constraint spectrum, predictability, and provenance.
Interaction Patterns
Building blocks: expectation setting, error recovery, transparent permissions, progressive automation.
The Designer Role
What an agentic experience designer actually does, the skills it demands, and how it differs from product and conversation design.
The Future of AXD
WebMCP, the agentic browser shakeout, agent payments, and prompt injection as a design constraint.
