What if your phone knew what you needed before you did? 🤯

In this episode of UX Stories, host Lihong Hicken sits down with Alina Hernandez Porrello, Director of UX Engineering at AgileEngine — the mind behind the groundbreaking Contextual Eruptive Forecasting Model (CIFM), built on Robert Rosen's anticipatory systems theory.

Alina's framework doesn't just react to users — it anticipates them. No stereotypes, no generalizations. Just AI that adapts to you, uniquely.

🔥 What you'll learn:

What the CIFM model is and how it predicts user behavior

Why standard UX personas are broken — and what comes next

How adaptive interfaces could replace traditional usability testing

The future of accessibility, elderly UX, and personalized AI

Could you lease your AI persona and get paid for user testing? 🤑

Why AI won't kill UX jobs — it'll multiply them
