Do you already have components like “approval prompt” or “tool call row”. Don’t worry, maybe you don’t need them. But I have a longer list of new emerging components. I gathered them by using the apps, through my design system directory on aidesign.guide, and by spotting them on Mobbin.

The full catalog has way more, and you can find them on my website AI DESIGN GUIDE 🔗Agentic UX patterns (unfortunately, I can’t add so many images to Substack).


PS. I have a beginner-friendly LIVE AI course for designers in 2 weeks.


Let’s check the patterns now.
