Öykü is a UX & UI Product Designer based in Berlin, working at the intersection of behavioral UX and complex digital systems. She focuses on making products easier to understand and trust, especially when complexity starts getting in the way of confident decision-making. Her work spans product strategy, end-to-end design, scalable design systems and 0→1 product development, with a focus on turning ambiguous problems into clear, usable product experiences. Most recently, she designed and shipped Bloomie, a self-initiated habit-building app informed by behavioral research and now used by real users. Her current focus is on AI-powered products and how good design can help people stay confident and informed as more decisions get automated. https://speakerdeck.com/oykudogru 2026-09-18 04:41:20 -0400 A talk from Haystack Europe 2026 on a shift most AI search interfaces haven't caught up with: search used to hand you options, now it hands you one answer already assembled. Using a UN Women finding that one in five AI responses about gender come back sexist, I look at why fluent answers are harder to question than wrong ones, and walk through five interface principles for keeping human judgment in the loop: making reasoning visible, designing for uncertainty, keeping alternative perspectives visible, creating thresholds for questioning and correction, and treating the answer as a door to the source rather than a wall. I strongly believe UX & Product Design aspect requires an immediate attention in AI Search Agents to create successful product stories.
