Designing with AI at Workday
Here we provide dedicated guidance, patterns, and strategies to help you confidently create product experiences that are intuitive, intelligent, and responsible. As we integrate powerful AI capabilities across our platform, it is crucial that we approach design with a shared set of human-centered best practices, making sure every AI-powered feature sets the right expectations, ensures the user feels in control, and builds trust over time. Use this guidance to introduce AI capabilities through clear entry points, display AI-generated content in understandable ways, provide robust user controls, and build the trust that is essential for a successful AI experience.Updated Guidance
