AI Talk - AI Native Design Agency of One
Brand, website, pitch deck, product UI, video. A startup used to need a small agency for that list. Max Marele does it mostly on his own, almost entirely with AI.
Max has been designing for 20+ years. Today he runs Giant Particle (brand, web and product design for startups) and Overslide (pitch decks that don't put investors to sleep), and the team behind both is one human and a lot of AI agents. In this session, he opens up his actual setup, the one he uses for client work, not a demo built for the occasion.
What We'll Cover
From brief to finished piece
How a client brief turns into a finished brand, site, deck or UI with agents doing most of the hands-on work
Where Max steps in, and where he lets the agents run
Teaching the AI your taste
How he teaches the AI his taste and habits, instead of settling for generic output
The checks before the client sees it
The checks that catch the AI's mistakes before they reach a client
The parts that still need a human eye, and why
Open Discussion
Your questions about design with AI: what changes when your "team" is one person and a bunch of agents, and what stays the same
You'll Leave With
A real picture of an AI-native design workflow, from brief to delivery, from someone doing it for paying clients
Ideas for teaching an AI your own standards, so the output looks like your work
A way to think about quality checks when agents do the production
An honest one: the parts of design that still need a human
Who Should Come
Designers wondering what their job looks like when the production work moves to agents
Freelancers and small studios who want to take on more without hiring
Founders and product people who buy design work and want to know how it's being made now
Anyone curious what a "team of one" really looks like behind the scenes
