'''Attentive user interfaces''' ('''AUI''') are [[user interface]]s that manage the user's attention. For instance, an AUI can manage notifications,<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Horvitz|first1=Eric|last2=Kadie|first2=Carl|last3=Paek|first3=Tim|last4=Hovel|first4=David|date=March 2003|title=Models of attention in computing and communication: from principles to applications|url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/636772.636798|journal=Communications of the ACM|language=en|volume=46|issue=3|pages=52–59|doi=10.1145/636772.636798|s2cid=2584780 |issn=0001-0782|url-access=subscription}}</ref> deciding when to interrupt the user, the kind of warnings, and the level of detail of the messages presented to the user.
Attentive user interfaces, by generating only the relevant information, can in particular be used to display information in a way that increase the effectiveness of the interaction.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Huberman|first1=Bernardo A.|last2=Wu|first2=Fang|title=The Economics of Attention: Maximizing User Value in Information-Rich Environments |date=August 2008|url=https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S0219525908001830|journal=Advances in Complex Systems|language=en|volume=11|issue=4|pages=487–496|doi=10.1142/S0219525908001830|issn=0219-5259|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

According to [[Roel Vertegaal]], there are four main types of attentive user interfaces:<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Vertegaal|first=Roel|date=March 2003|title=Introduction|url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/636772.636794|journal=Communications of the ACM|language=en|volume=46|issue=3|pages=30–33|doi=10.1145/636772.636794|s2cid=218831102 |issn=0001-0782|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Vertegaal|first1=Roel|last2=Shell|first2=Jeffrey S.|last3=Chen|first3=Daniel|last4=Mamuji|first4=Aadil|date=July 2006|title=Designing for augmented attention: Towards a framework for attentive user interfaces|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0747563205001160|journal=Computers in Human Behavior|language=en|volume=22|issue=4|pages=771–789|doi=10.1016/j.chb.2005.12.012|s2cid=16792220 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>
