Overview

How might we design performance optimization tips so people can trust and act on AI output?

When to use

  • Perfect for cost-sensitive applications, developer tools, and platforms where AI-powered optimization suggestions improve performance and reduce costs.

When to skip

  • Tips that compromise output quality users pay for.
  • Suggestions without estimated impact.
  • Nagging on every request in consumer apps.

Rules

  • Generic save money tip with no action button.

  • Tips driven by upsell not user benefit.

  • Optimization that changes defaults silently.

  • Tips referencing metrics user cannot see.
