AI × UX – Signal intelligence for designers

Overview

AI × UX is a signal-intelligence product for designers trying to make sense of a fast-moving field. AI and UX content arrives faster than anyone can follow, and recency is easily mistaken for relevance.

Instead of building another feed, I designed a Signal Architecture: a model that turns noise into signals, signals into perspectives, and perspectives into decisions. It runs live and self-updating at aixux.dk – ingesting, deduplicating and re-scoring on its own since launch.

Outcome

Product impact

  • Shipped a live, self-updating product at aixux.dk – it ingests, deduplicates and re-scores on a schedule, and has run on its own since launch

  • Built the full pipeline solo: multi-source ingestion → normalization → scoring → personalised signals


Design impact

  • Replaced contradictory, per-component trend readings with one shared signal model – consistent identity, time windows and comparison across Feed, Trends and Tensions

  • Turned data decisions (canonical identity, normalization, scoring) into UX decisions that made the interface simpler and more trustworthy


System impact

  • A discovery loop that surprises its designer – its first run surfaced "AI safety" and "government AI", topics I never specified

  • Tensions extended the product from momentum to divergence, showing where credible sources disagree without declaring a winner

Process

Frame

Reframed the job from aggregating articles to producing signals – designers don't lack information, they lack orientation. → This turned "another feed" into a signal-intelligence problem.


Structure

Designed the Signal Architecture – Sources → Normalize → Filter → Score → Signals → Feed, Trends, Tensions – and defined what a signal is before building any screen. → This made the model, not the screen, the primary design object.


Generate

Used AI to generate the components and wire the data: filters, scoring, trend charts and the multi-source ingestion pipeline. → This made a solo, end-to-end product realistic.


Review

AI's individually competent components gave contradictory answers – "reasoning" up in one panel and down in another, 42 mentions vs 9 stories. I defined one shared signal model as the single source of truth. → This is where the design work concentrated: coherence, not code.


Ship

Deployed live with scheduled ingestion, deduplication and re-scoring, and treated distribution (Share) as a launch feature in its own right. → This made it a running product, not a prototype.


Learn

Replaced the fixed topic list with a discovery loop that expands its own vocabulary – surfacing subjects I never named. → This turned a maintained snapshot into a living instrument.
