Five Interface Shifts Already Pointing to How Digital Products Will Feel in 2026

This change will impact how users interact with products, with a focus on delegation of routine work and user control. Product teams should design interfaces that allow users to delegate tasks and take back control. This shift is driven by advancements in AI and the increasing use of digital labor. As a result, products will need to balance user control with the capabilities of AI-powered assistants.
