How to Build AI-mockups to Showcase Research Recommendations
Michele Ronsen is a researcher, builder, and founder of Curiosity Tank, where she helps teams turn messy ideas into clear, actionable direction — and increasingly, into things you can actually use.
In this session, she will walk through what it looks like to move from researcher to builder — using real examples from her recent work, including an AI-powered Research Plan Assistant and early-stage product prototypes designed to help teams pressure-test ideas before they build.
This is not a technical deep dive. It’s a shift in mindset and practice.
You’ll see:
How research thinking translates directly into product logic
What makes something “buildable” vs. just a well-articulated insight
Where most researchers get stuck when trying to build — and how to move through it
How to start small, using the tools already available, without waiting for permission
Join us on May 20 at 11 am PDT / 2 pm EDT if you are a researcher who has felt the shift but isn't quite sure how to respond to it yet. You already know how to do the work that got you here. Building is what teaches you what to do with it next. If you are ready to stop recommending and start showing, you will not want to miss this!
