What does the pattern do?
- Makes it easier to understand what the AI is doing.
When should the pattern be used?
- Always indicate that the AI is doing something (especially if it takes longer).
- In ‘higher risk’ contexts, e.g. when it comes to laws, tariffs or finances.
- When the AI needs to do a more complex task.
Recommendation
- Communicate how the AI interprets the prompt in a simple, comprehensible way.
- Display the steps the system takes up to the output.
- And give users the opportunity to intervene in the process.
