1️⃣ Conversation design isn’t dead. It’s evolving to include voice, vision, gestures, and more. Designing conversations now means designing for everything humans use to communicate - and how AI responds.

2️⃣ Trust is everything. Karen says: “First, don’t mess up. Then, show value.” Users engage with AI when it’s accurate, reliable, and useful.

3️⃣ Real-time conversations change the game. Gemini Live lets you talk naturally with AI, not just type and wait. Open-ended back-and-forth interaction feels far more human.

I've seen Meg present some of this work, and I can honestly say everyone can benefit from it; from how you show up at work, how to be a female designer/design leader/design manager, to having more confidence at work and in life. Go Meg!!
This is happening today! Have any questions for us? Stay tuned after the talk for Live Q&A!

I'll be at VoiceLunch on Tuesday chatting about some of the things I've learned through 25 years of designing voice interfaces. See you there?! #voicelunch
@carladiana_ So many personal connections for me in the book: I worked on the Jambox, have designed a language for 2 autonomous vehicles, organized a panel at SXSW 2017 with Andrea Thomaz on robots, etc.. Such great work, thank you for writing this book.
