Framework
Stories as the Original User Interface
Design AI around the way people already make sense of each other.
How it works
- 1Humans make sense of themselves and each other through story, voice, and faces.
- 2Most people only know the events of someone’s life, not the whys and the crossroads.
- 3Design AI around conversation, because that is the interface people already trust.
