79. Physicality
    Be spatially aware of what you’re building
    Visualise it as spaces, with rooms and doorways
    Imagine it in 3D, and draw how that feels
    Design an open-ended experience, find natural boundaries
    Imagine someone moving through your experience

82. Tone
    Craft machine personality gently, and cautiously
    Know when to use humour, and don’t overdo it
    Offer warmth, but avoid over-familiarity
    Be kind, patient, and act as guide
    Be forgiving, and allow the system to be forgiven too

    I learned nothing from
    that TED book

    Set out to improve lives; avoid guilt or addiction
    Make as few demands as possible
    Avoid ambiguity and unguided assumptions
    Catch errors before they happen, be honest when they do
    Allow consent

85. Onboarding
    Get started quickly
    Unobtrusive guidance, always available
    Slow and thoughtful steps; a little at a time
    Encourage discovery, ensure early results
    Support failure and gently correct

    I bet they’re really
    sick of bullets

86. Notifications
    Quietly serve without continuous distraction
    Manageable, concise, polite, and actionable
    Contextual to time, place, and learned routine
    Consider levels of urgency, and alternatives to sound
    If a notification doesn’t improve quality of life, kill it
