Co-create Assistants for real-world problems.

Let's humanize our software together.

Let's design Assistants that advance humanity.

If we want to make the world a better place, we need to take a stance in the digital space and design assistants for individual and collective development goals.

We never learned to build software for Society.

You become your best self by helping others. So let's build software that assists and empowers us in our daily lives.

Everyone has a role to play in the new Social Appstore.

Instead of solving problems with technology we need to build social technology to help us solve (wicked) problems.

ASSISTANT CENTERED DESIGN

Turns users into actors.

Map and build interactive content that pushes and nudges people into action.

Make your content actionable.

Strengthen yourself and your organisation with purpose and meaning, embrace Assistant Centered Design, and build Interactive Content that delivers value from the first moment of contact.

It’s time that we rethink our software design, because our linear flows and static content are no match for our complex world anymore.

The biggest flaw in todays software design is that we don’t respect the effort and energy of people. It’s time for social responsibility in our software as well.

Page-based software design and blockchain are no match.

If we want to prepare our web3 wallets and platforms for family and friends (mass adoption), we need to rethink our software design for blockchain from the ground up.

Our current web2 software is broken.
We are so used to giving away our energy and attention, that we became accustomed to being the product. Nothing is free, as our data is being sold to someone that might live next door. We spend 4-6 hours on our phones, and our attention is being farmed daily. We are seriously addicted to our technology and services, but what is the true positive impact on our lives? 

Design research is being transformed into a new educational program.
Social Design Academy is doing ongoing design research on how we can 
humanize and democratize our web3 software design so it declutters and positively impacts our daily lives.

Haun Ventures called web3: “Software-driven innovation that has a built-in financial system.” We believe that web3 should be a social conversation-driven protocol that entangles principles, value, and incentives in new interactive content formats.

There is a lot to unlearn, relearn and unpack. Distributed Design is our paradigm of choice, as it holds the most promise to converge our energy into Collective Genius that gives us new tools to solve the crisis we are facing today.

The first three steps in changing our design attitude towards web3?

1. Colonial Design vs Liberating Design; Become aware of your current design culture. 
2. Change your Design Perspective; Transition from human-centered design to assistant-centered design, as human-centered design separates people into groups/tribes.
3. Remediate our Interfaces; Transition from page-based interaction design to conversational interaction design. Making sound money actionable means that we need to align the social and financial layers.

 

Let's make web3 ready for family and friends by embracing ​

ASSISTANT CENTERED DESIGN

Build hospitable assistants that guide people to their goals based on digital storytelling, digital wayfinding, and interactive content.

Wallet Design Program

Design digital conversations instead of pages.

Our current wallets focus on unlocking features our blockchains provide. But if we want to provide social infrastructure for interactive content and digital governance, we need to step up our game.

We need to rethink our wallet interactions from the ground up. To deliver user-friendly and trustworthy experiences we need to build novel social infrastructure that delivers use cases based on time, location and context.
We developed a new design approach called Conversational Interaction Design combine digital storytelling, digital way finding and interactive content in wallets, so walled can seamlessly self-onboard family and friends.
