Introduction

Heated Maps is a speculative design project that explores how we might use maps to navigate the realities of a changing climate. We explored various speculative futures for Google Maps, and prototyped a series of interventions that could help us navigate the realities of a hotter world.

What if?

What if we could reduce concierge response times from days to seconds?

What if AI could learn from past interactions to automate responses?

What if we could scale personal service without scaling staff?

Weak signals

Growing demand for instant service

Customer expectations for response times are becoming increasingly demanding in the digital age.

AI maturity

Language models are becoming sophisticated enough to handle complex customer interactions

Prototype

We developed an AI-powered system that:

  • Analyzes past customer interactions
  • Automates responses to common queries
  • Maintains the personal touch of human service
