WINTER 2024
AI HOME
This project investigated how information within apps could be broken up and distributed across personalized homepages on a smartphone device.
Each homepage would be thematic, aggregating content based on a particular lifestyle pillar like entertainment or communication.
CORE FUNCTION
The AI Home serves as an intermediary layer between app data and the user. It aggregates information and can do tasks for the user without the need of jumping into individual apps.
Information aggregation is closely aligned with lifestyle and what’s important to each user.
Making the Home more personal
AI Home gives the user the superpower to organize their life based on their lifestyle and mental model.
People Home displays important communication threads in one aggregate module, regardless of which app they came from.
Entertainment Home creates custom podcasts based on the user’s media interests.
Photo Home serves as a space to test different app filters as well as bask in the beauty of the user’s photo gallery.
Maps Home aggregates all content based on location: it could be anything from finding a parking space to your Uber Eats delivery.
System Components
Overview of the various system components one would find in the People Home.
Important contacts are organized as planetary systems. Swipe left and right to move between messages.
The user can communicate with their agent any time using the input field at the bottom of the screen.
Below the aggregator are key tasks summarized by AI, as well as quick access to pertinent apps which are tied to the home’s theme.
Tapping the home button next to the AI messaging module opens navigation to other AI Homes as well as to the app shelf.
Give AI tasks while away
The user can assign tasks for AI to complete like researching the best photo processing apps for their photo collection.
CORE FUNCTION
While the user is sleeping or the device is charging, AI can do research and present findings by the time the user wakes up or grabs their phone.
AI can find the app for that
Sometimes we find ourselves in a predicament that could be solved with the perfect app. We just didn’t know.
CORE FUNCTION
In this scenario, a user is searching for the perfect parking spot. They open their Map Home and search for a spot.
AI discovers that with the right app, the user could save more, and prompts the user to download special parking apps to take advantage of the savings.
User navigates to the Map Home.
They search for parking.
AI finds alternatives with the use of special apps and asks for user permission to download apps.
AI proceeds with account creation.
It finds and books the parking and offers navigation to the garage.
When nearby, the QR code automatically displays on the Lock screen for easy access.
RECAP
PROBLEM
Tasked to provide radical change to system UI, not just visually, but also to the information architecture.
Research
User research revealed that people mentally organize information thematically while our systems restricted to only app organization.
Impact
Created a new paradigm for restructuring One UI for its future product roadmap that was further reinforced with user testing.
