Build the expertise your next AI project will demand

AI is changing the skills that matter for product and design. As new capabilities make their way onto your roadmap, you’re expected to design for a new kind of product before the practices have caught up.

Your ability to build quality AI experiences will depend on:

  • Adapting your expertise as your responsibilities expand and systems thinking becomes increasingly important.

  • Knowing enough about how AI works to recognize its possibilities, limitations, and make informed design choices.

  • Answering emerging design questions about what people need to understand and what they can trust.

Drawing on work across product and design on startup teams, this course brings those three areas together through real product examples and hands-on design exercises.

You’ll put this knowledge into practice by designing an AI interface relevant to your work or portfolio. You’ll refine your design through instructor and peer feedback and leave with a polished piece that shows both your work and the thinking behind it.

What you’ll learn

Build the understanding and judgment to approach AI design with confidence, then put them into practice through your own project.

  • Understand how AI is expanding responsibilities across product and design.

  • Recognize where your existing expertise becomes more valuable.

  • Build the judgment to lead product decisions as technology changes.

  • Understand how models, context and tools shape AI behavior.

  • Identify what your team can influence and where technical constraints matter.

  • Discuss AI capabilities and design tradeoffs confidently with technical teammates.

  • Ground the experience in what people need to understand, decide or do.

  • Create clear information hierarchies for outputs that vary in content and structure.

  • Communicate evidence and uncertainty so users can judge what to trust.

  • Determine when AI should proceed, ask for clarification or request approval.

  • Distinguish access to information from permission to take action.

  • Give users ways to review, redirect and recover when AI gets things wrong.

  • Develop a use case and generate sample outputs with the course tool.

  • Create an interface that makes AI results understandable and useful.

  • Refine your design through feedback and explain the decisions behind it.
