Most UX design begins with data. Clicks. Conversion rates. Funnels. Dashboards. But data only tells you what users do. It does not tell you what they experience. HUMINT UX introduces a new way of designing—one grounded in real human behavior, not just measurable activity. In an era where artificial intelligence predicts, personalizes, and influences user decisions at scale, traditional UX methods are no longer enough. Systems are becoming more powerful—but not necessarily more aligned with the people using them. This book bridges that gap. Drawing from principles of human intelligence (...

I Do Solemnly Swear... Some oaths are made in uniform. Others are made in love. This book was written for both.
