Say hello to Sproutiful, our AI Proof of Concept! 🌱 Sproutiful encourages users to eat a variety of 30 plants per week to improve their gut microbiome and overall health. Our team applied AI to build this in just 8 weeks! Key features we love: 🌟 - Image analysis to quickly capture food intake. - Behaviour-led discovery to keep it fun and interesting. - Scientifically-proven coaching methods that cater to users’ intrinsic motivation. With these features, gut health becomes enjoyable and accessible for a wider audience, ultimately impacting more lives for the better! We’re excited to take you behind the scenes of building Sproutiful.

When designing for behaviour change, it’s not about keeping users hooked endlessly or building products that last forever. Instead, Greig Robinson, our Head of Design, shares the model we follow at ustwo. It’s about creating meaningful experiences that encourage positive habits – like Sproutiful, the gut health app we designed to help people eat 30 plants each week! 🥕 This video is from our London Design Festival event with Dezeen, L'Oréal, and open-ended, where we discussed how brands can build experiences that keep users coming back. Special thank you to our brilliant speakers:    Benedict Hobson, Co-CEO, Dezeen Adrien Gomar, Head of Design, L'Oréal ⁠  Suhair Khan, Founder & Director, open-ended ⁠ Stay tuned for more tips from this event! #Dezeen #ustwoAI #Sproutiful #LondonDesignFestival

We built a gut health app to help people eat more plants, but how many plants does our London team actually eat? 👀 One Tuesday a month, we enjoy breakfast together in our Shoreditch studio. This time, we put Sproutiful to the test to see how many plant points we could score. 🍊 Check out the full video to watch Sproutiful in action! 🌱  Thank you Paolo Rizzi and Lauren for feeding us. #Sproutiful #ustwoAI #GutHealth #HealthTech #DigitalHealth

The robotic future may be closer than we think. Nayan J., our Executive Director of AI, shared some insights with Fast Company on the future of humanoid robots. While the hardware has been around for years, the real challenge is perfecting how robots move and interact with us. As Nayan says, we're optimistic, but there's still a way to go. However, China is already allocating funding to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025, so watch this space! Read the full article here → https://bit.ly/4e9wOzS #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #ustwoAI

How do you build an AI proof of concept in just 8 weeks? Here's how we did it with Sproutiful. 🌱 We wanted to create a gut health companion that helps you think more consciously about what you eat, add more plant variety to your meals, and boost overall well being. So, we blended AI and behavioural science to create a personalised digital health experience that builds lasting habits. These are the principles we followed: 1. Design for all: AI helped us eliminate the hassle of manual logging and high churn rates in digital health services by creating an easier and more personalised experience. 2. Combine creativity, coaching and AI from the start: We built, tested, and iterated fast. We brought in behavioural scientist, Om Lala, to apply motivational interviewing, an evidence-based coaching method that helps people achieve their goals by meeting them where they are. 3. Speed to value: AI did the heavy lifting for us to personalise Sproutiful to each individual. We also used OpenAI’s GPT creator feature and added custom layers to make it more than just a basic chatbot.

We collaborated with Bauer Media Group to create Rayo, an app that brings together 100+ radio stations and 4,000 curated playlists all in one place! 🎧 From defining a clear vision to product iterations and beta testing with real listeners, we helped Bauer transition from broadcast radio to digital audio. We incorporated features like mood-based content collections and a personalised ‘For You’ page for those ‘lean back’ moments when you just want to hit play.

How are you using AI in your daily life? Last week, we hosted a panel discussion in New York with leaders from Anthropic, Verizon, and Meta. Here are some highlights: - Kim Bost from Anthropic shared how she used Claude (Anthropic’s AI assistant) to prepare for our panel and even to learn Spanish before her vacation! - Dory Butler from Verizon shared the “aha” moment that made her realise Generative AI would be a big deal in the industry. - Kathryn Han from Meta discussed the impact of Generative AI on creative fields like design and copywriting, highlighting the importance of individual perspectives. The conversation was brilliantly moderated by Maz Karimian, Head of Strategy at ustwo. We also discussed the evolving expectations around AI, improving accessibility, global regulations, and what safe and reliable AI truly means. Check out photos from the event! 📸 Let us know in the comments: What was your “aha” moment when you realised AI would be huge? #GenerativeAI #ustwoAI #DailyAI
