Making Decisions With AI When Building Products
Workshop 6 of 6 — AI for Designers Series
A hands-on session on catching the moments AI is quietly steering your thinking and getting better at making your own decisions.
Most of us use AI to think through ideas, but it's easy to lose track of whose decision we are actually making. A vague prompt turns into twenty minutes of drift. A quick "what do you think?" turns into following wherever the model leads.
This session helps you recognize this pattern before it disrupts your next project. Join a group of designers and builders for hands-on exercises, discussions, and idea-sharing focused on decision-making with AI.
Key Takeaways:
Understand why and how you use AI to make decisions
Learn how to use AI to strengthen the quality of your decisions
Discover awareness markers and practical tips for catching the moments AI starts driving instead of assisting
Experience the difference between a decision you can explain and one you are just going along with
This session works whether you're deep into using AI daily or just starting to bring it into your process.
No building or prior workshop attendance required.

From understanding it
to building with it.
6 workshops · Hands-on · Open to all designers
The tools are changing. The role is shifting. And most of us are figuring it out in real time.
This isn't a lecture series about what AI might do to design. It's a hands-on experience where you learn by doing—writing prompts, building prototypes, creating portfolios, and eventually shipping something you made with AI from scratch.
Whether you've never opened an AI tool or you're already experimenting, there's a place for you here.
What you'll walk away with
A working AI toolkit for your daily design practice
Prompt-writing skills you built yourself, not copied
An AI-generated portfolio piece or case study
Something you actually shipped with AI
A clearer sense of where your career is headed
A community of designers on the same journey
