AI Chatbot UI Design

A chat interface is the easiest AI surface to ship and the hardest to ship well. We design chatbot UIs where trust is visible: grounded answers, honest uncertainty, and states for everything that can go wrong.

AI chatbot UI design is the design of conversational interfaces for LLM-powered products: the message anatomy, streaming behavior, citations, input affordances, and failure states that decide whether users trust the output. It differs from classic chat design because the other participant is probabilistic and sometimes wrong.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions.

What does an AI chatbot UI design engagement include?+
The full conversational surface: message anatomy for user and assistant turns, streaming and loading behavior, citation and source display, input affordances (attachments, voice, suggested prompts), history and session patterns, and the failure states most teams skip: refusals, low confidence, timeouts, and wrong answers users need to correct. Delivered as build-ready Figma with a component set your engineers or AI coding tools implement directly.
Can you design a chat widget for our website as well as the in-app chatbot?+
Yes. Website chat widgets and in-product chatbots share components but differ in scope, entry points, and expectations. We design both against one system so the widget feels like a preview of the product, not a different company.
How much does chatbot UI design cost?+
On the subscription ($4,917/mo) a complete chatbot interface is typically designed inside the first two to three weeks alongside other requests. A focused one-off engagement starts at From $3,000.
How do you design for wrong or uncertain answers?+
That is the core of the work. Grounded statements are visually distinguished from generated ones, citations are inspectable, low-confidence output invites verification instead of blind acceptance, and correction is one action rather than a support ticket. Users forgive an assistant that says it is unsure; they abandon one that was confidently wrong.
Do you follow existing patterns from products like ChatGPT and Claude?+
We start from the patterns users already know so your product feels immediately usable, then differentiate where your product genuinely differs. Novelty in a chat interface is a cost users pay; we spend it only where it buys something.
