Context

The existing platform at Nayya relied on traditional page-based navigation and linear workflows. While functional, the experience required employees to understand complex benefits terminology and know where to go before they could get help.

Our goal was to evolve the platform into an AI-native experience where conversations became the starting point for navigation, decision support, and personalized guidance.

challenge

Moving to an AI-native experience required more than introducing chat.

The existing product relied heavily on linear user journeys that assumed employees already knew where to begin and what they wanted to accomplish. In reality, users arrived with different goals, levels of benefits knowledge, and varying degrees of urgency.

The challenge was to redesign the experience so AI could proactively understand user intent, personalize navigation, and orchestrate multiple pathways across the platform rather than forcing everyone through the same flow.

My Role

I designed new adaptive user flows, developed prototypes, and conducted user testing to evaluate how effectively the approach supported different personas and needs. I synthesized the findings to identify areas for improvement and build confidence across the team in the new product direction.

goal

Transform a traditional SaaS benefits platform into an AI-native experience by rethinking how employees discover, navigate, and understand their benefits.

SaaS → AI-native

Shift the primary interaction model from page-based navigation to conversational experiences, allowing AI to become the central entry point for product discovery, decision support, and task completion.

One Flow → Adaptive Journeys

Replace one-size-fits-all user flows with flexible pathways that adapt to different personas, intents, and stages of the employee journey.

AI-Powered Personalization

Leverage LLMs to transform structured recommendation outputs into personalized, contextual insights. Instead of displaying fixed recommendation copy, AI interprets available user data to generate explanations that connect individual circumstances with the recommended benefits strategy.
