Ă€ propos de nous
This community gathers everyone interested in UX and users. We talk about UX and things related to it: interaction design, visual design, user research, sketching and prototyping. We also reveal the role of UX in the development process, marketing, business, everyday life. We share our experience, we present our actual projects, we analyze trends and more.
How we do it: through a regular monthly meeting with an interesting presentation followed by a social. Feel free to come, whether you're a UX professional with decades of experience or if you'd like just have a look at what happens in UX today.

UX Lecture: Designing interactions between human and AI
Koos, Danzigerbocht 39E, Amsterdam, NLEvery button you click, every swipe you make—there's an algorithm watching, learning, responding. For designers, this changes everything. We're no longer just crafting interactions with systems; we're choreographing conversations with algorithms that can delight us or drive us to despair. What separates the smooth, rewarding experiences from the maddeningly frustrating ones? In this talk, we'll explore which interaction patterns help users feel genuinely in control of their AI tools, and in which contexts, what the usability problems are with many of the human-AI interactions, and how some interactions are really just smoke and mirrors: the dark patterns that create an illusion of agency while quietly manipulating behavior.
