​Design faster. Think sharper. Let AI handle the grunt work.

​AI tools are rapidly becoming part of everyday product work, but many designers still struggle to move beyond basic prompting.

​In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use AI as your personal UX co-designer.

​From generating personas to structuring flows and sparking early design concepts, you’ll see how smart prompting can help you move faster, unblock ideas, and focus your energy where human insight matters most.
