Co-work Fridays @ SQCo - The Stage: Building Trust with UX in AI
Friday @ SQ Collective
Friday is our open co-working day.
People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led.
You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like.
At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working.
This is how Fridays here work.
The Stage @ 1.30pm
The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night.
The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.
After the session, we go back to work.
Topic: Building Trust with UX in AI
Founder at Curve Labs
Silicon Valley Fellowship F24 Alumni
As AI becomes more capable, some products start to feel more uncomfortable than delightful.
This effect shows up in avatars, images, video, and even chat interfaces. It's the uncanny valley in practice.
This session looks at UX decisions that build and break trust in AI-native apps, whether it's interfaces that feel too human, too confident, or too opaque.
Jeremy will share his research and learnings from building and shipping emotion-aware AI systems at Curve Labs.
The goal is to give you a clearer perspective and instinct on designing AI that users are willing to rely on.
