FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fixed budget plan and a subscription?
icon

The subscription plan is best if you need flexibility. Pause or cancel anytime; you only pay for active design work. Ideal for evolving projects, unlimited iterations, and ongoing expert support. Instead of juggling freelancers, you get senior-level design power on demand, at a predictable cost. Perfect if you want a long-term partner who adapts as your business grows. The fixed budget plan is best for projects with a clear, defined scope. You get upfront pricing, a structured process, and limited iterations, making it ideal for launches or one-off projects with specific requirements.

How can product design improve the adoption of AI tools?
icon

Great design makes AI approachable. Clear UX, thoughtful onboarding, and transparent interactions help users understand and trust the technology, which drives adoption and long-term engagement. Without design, even the smartest AI can feel inaccessible.

Why do AI startups need UX and product design support?
icon

AI startups often move fast on the technical side but overlook usability. Strong UX and product design ensure that the product resonates with people, communicates value clearly, and avoids the common pitfall of building features no one uses.

What’s the difference between designing for AI vs. traditional software?
icon

Designing for AI requires anticipating uncertainty and creating interfaces that explain decisions, handle errors gracefully, and build trust. Unlike traditional software, AI design must focus on transparency, feedback, and giving users control over intelligent systems.

How do I choose the right designer for my AI startup or MVP?
icon

Look for a designer with experience in both product strategy and AI-specific challenges like data visualization, explainability, and onboarding. The right designer will help you turn complex ideas into simple, human-centered products that can scale.
