Why Should You Take This Course?If you’re a Designer aiming to break into the AI industry or if your team is starting to build AI products and you feel unprepared, this course is for you. By the end, you’ll feel confident and ready to transition into an AI design role, armed with the knowledge and skills to thrive. Previous students reported having significant improvement in both AI Design knowledge, confidence and motivation to drive design in this space since taking the course. Why Should You Learn from Me?With a decade of experience in building AI and AR/VR products, with over 4 years focused on AI-first products, I bring practical insights and skills you won’t find elsewhere. My experience includes leading world-class AI design teams and developing cutting-edge AI products, most recently at Meta. Course OverviewDesigned for busy professionals:•	Total 3 weeks, 4 hours per week commitment•	Recorded Sessions: Available anytime•	Discussion Boards: Participate asynchronously•	Support: Dedicated support and 1:1 guidance•	Resources: Ongoing AI learning materials•	Live Q&amp;As and Discussions: Hands-on learning What You’ll Learn: • Week #1 is focused on learning AI Fundamentals. Gain all the key knowledge necessary to understand the technology and how to work with it and in it as a designer. • Week #2 is focused on AI Design Patterns. Deep dive on existing patterns in the industry, where the current patterns fail, identify new opportunities and how to innovate by creating net new patterns. • Week #3 is focused on building an AI career with confidence. Learn to take your AI projects and career to the next level, and how to standout in industry. • Mini-projects across the 3 weeks will ladder up to helping you craft the building blocks of an AI Powered product concept. Many students choose to continue working on these concepts even after the class wraps up. What the course does NOT cover:My goal is to teach you everything I know within 3 weeks about designing good ai products. By the end of this course, you will be more equipped to build great products compared to existing designers in this space. However there are 2 things this course will not be able to cover due to the limited time:• Advanced prototyping or coding the AI product (I will share resources for this if you want to learn post-course!)• Portfolio ready project (You might be able to get decent start through this course, that you can feature on your portfolio after investing more time beyond the course)
