We're excited to introduce a completely redesigned user interface for askgina.ai, focused on providing a cleaner, more adaptable, and intuitive experience across all your devices. This update reflects our commitment to making your interactions with on-chain information and activities as seamless as possible.

Inspired by a Shift in Thinking: Beyond Pure Conversation

Our approach to this redesign was partly influenced by evolving perspectives on human-computer interaction. An insightful article by Julian.digital argues against the limitations of purely conversational interfaces, suggesting that while natural language is powerful, it's not always the most efficient method for every task. Just as we use gestures and visual cues in everyday communication, user interfaces can benefit from offering more direct ways to interact. This concept inspired us to think beyond purely conversational commands and explore how we could augment the askgina.ai experience with more direct action triggers, leading to the introduction of suggested actions and our vision for future wallet action buttons.

Wallet First: A Dedicated Space for Your Assets

One of the most significant changes is the redesign of the wallet view, which now has its own dedicated space. Previously, the wallet was a collapsible section, somewhat hidden from immediate view. We recognized the importance of having your on-chain assets readily accessible, so we've brought the wallet front and center. This dedicated space provides a more consistent and intuitive experience across all devices, with an improved visual presentation that feels more like a dedicated crypto wallet.

Looking ahead, we're planning to integrate more manual use cases directly into the wallet, such as bridging and swapping, making askgina.ai a more comprehensive platform for managing your on-chain life.

Optimized for Every Screen: A Responsive Design for Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop

The new askgina.ai is designed to provide an optimal experience no matter what device you're using. The previous version presented a fixed layout across all devices. Now, the UI adapts seamlessly to your screen size, ensuring a user-friendly experience whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.

On mobile, you'll find a dedicated wallet tab at the bottom of the screen, providing instant access to your full portfolio in a clean, full-screen view.

For tablets and foldable phones, we've introduced a layout that keeps your wallet readily accessible. You also have the option to collapse the chat history to focus entirely on your conversation with Gina.

On desktop, the redesigned interface offers a spacious and organized layout, ensuring all key features are easily within reach.

This responsive design ensures that you can comfortably interact with AskGina.ai on any device, with tailored layouts that maximize usability on different screen sizes.

Smarter Chats: Contextual Suggestions at Your Fingertips

We've also enhanced the chat window to make your conversations with Gina more efficient. You'll now find quick suggested follow-up questions and actions that are tailored to the specific context of your conversation. For example, if you inquire about a particular cryptocurrency, you might see suggestions for related questions or actions, saving you time and effort in typing out your next query.

Why the Change? Focusing on User Needs

This redesign was driven by a desire to create a more user-centric experience. We recognized that having a readily accessible and visually clear wallet was key. Furthermore, the need for a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes was crucial for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience across all devices.

By prioritizing these aspects, along with incorporating insights on the evolution of user interfaces, we believe the new askgina.ai provides a significantly improved platform for navigating your on-chain life.
