Tech & AI

Driving better user outcomes through the science of behavior change.
Tech can simplify tasks and promote social connection, but users don't always engage in this way (or at all). Behavioral science demystifies user behavior and unlocks designs that engage.

Using AI to Drive Outcomes

AI is changing the game in Product. Unfortunately, the most obvious opportunities in AI are often the wrong ones.

Picking the wrong direction here can waste months/years of work. Why? There is tremendous risk in building AI products that alienate consumers or fail to get uptake.

Building with AI is more about understanding user psychology than tech stacks. At Irrational Labs, we help product teams gain the highest leverage use of AI for your company and use behavioral economics insights to fuel adoption.

Reach out to learn more about our work in this space.

Working with Irrational Labs has been eye-opening in the best kind of way — we learned how to use behavioral design in a creative, yet structured way to drive meaningful impact for our members and for Credit Karma.
