AI Club: The UXR AI Playbook

​Feeling the pressure to use AI, but not sure where to start? Between the hype, the headlines, and the hot takes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. The real question is: What do we actually do with it?

​That’s why we’re cutting through the noise. Join the UXr Guild's AI Club on September 26 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET, where host Christopher Monnier (Principal UX Researcher, Microsoft Copilot) and special guest Kaleb Loosbrock, Staff Researcher at Instacart and Founder of the AIxUXR Community, will share a practical playbook for getting started with AI in UXR. 

​Fresh off his standout talk at UXRConf 2025 and recent AI in UXR 101 course with User Interviews, Kaleb is teaming up with Chris to provide a field guide for the work you’re doing right now. This isn't another talk about the future of work; it’s a practical guide on thinking through and integrating AI responsibly within your research workflows, today. We’ll focus on actionable tools, smart adoption strategies, and the ethical guardrails we need to get this right. 

​In this session, you will: 

• ​See the playbooks top researchers are building to integrate AI into their daily practice.

• ​Separate the signal from the noise with vetted tools that genuinely save time (and not just cause headaches).

• ​Get a framework for evaluating AI tools and advocating for ethical, responsible use on your team.

• ​Connect with peers navigating similar challenges.

​Whether you're AI-curious or already running experiments, this session is for you. Let’s build a smarter, more effective future for UXR—together. This is a conversation, not a lecture. We want to hear from you! Help shape the discussion by submitting your own questions, challenges, and AI stories to Chris and Kaleb ahead of time.

​Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your curiosity. The UX Researchers Guild AI Club is a bi‑monthly series, open to all professionals in UX, research, design, and beyond.
