Lesson
Streaming changes the waiting experience. Users see movement quickly, but they also need confidence that the system is still working correctly.
Good streaming UX pairs partial text with stable controls, recovery paths, and clear completion states.
Objectives
Explain why streaming improves perceived speed.
Design useful intermediate states.
Avoid misleading partial output.
Practice
Sketch a loading state for a long AI answer.
Define when users can interrupt, retry, or copy.
Next action
Prototype the states for a streaming answer card.
