Speaker, author, entrepreneur, and GSummit Alumnus Nir Eyal joined us last week on the Gamification Revolution weekly webshow and discussed some of the ideas he presents in his Hooked Model on creating habit-forming designs. We review Nir’s thoughts on the ethics of creating these designs, the emotive effect of engaging experiences, and how the evolution of technology evolved user-experiences. Watch the full interview below:
Is your service a vitamin or pain-killer? Does your app cause anxiety in your users when they don’t have it? We’re not talking meth — we’re talking about addictive user experiences within the framework of engaging design.
Nir Eyal has developed a framework for designing habit-forming products called “the hook model,” which gives product designers a new way for thinking of the necessary components of creating user behavior. In this fast-paced session, Nir will take you through how to create massive, repeatable engagement in a predictable way.

A look into the psychology behind what drives user behavior and how to build products to cater to core human needs.
