Intent-Driven UX

Intent-driven UX designs interfaces around detecting and fulfilling user intent rather than presenting fixed menus of options. The system interprets what the user is trying to do — through natural language, behaviour patterns, or contextual signals — and adapts the interface to serve that intent. This is a shift from 'here are your options' to 'I think you're trying to do X — here's the fastest path.' The risk is misinterpreting intent; the reward is dramatically reduced friction.
