Course overview

Go from pixel pusher to solution superhero in four weeks

This course catapults students from AI-curious to AI-empowered, breaking down how to leverage generative tools throughout the design process. They'll shift from manual wireframing in Figma to rapid concept generation, from limited design explorations to expansive possibility testing, from endless revision cycles to streamlined iteration workflows with the research to back it up.


Students transform from feeling threatened by AI to wielding it as their competitive advantage, ultimately delivering better products faster while focusing on the strategic thinking machines can't replicate.


This course is designed for open-minded professionals willing to embrace the transformative power of AI. You'll learn how to burn down outdated processes and rebuild with cutting-edge AI-driven techniques to accelerate innovation, gain deeper user insights, and foster more creative collaborations.


What you will learn:


Fundamentals of Generative AI for UX: Understand core AI concepts like Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) and how they apply to user experience and product management


Mastering AI Assistant Tools: Explore the strengths and weaknesses of leading AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and learn how to leverage their unique capabilities for various UX activities


Empathy-Driven Design with AI: Discover how to use AI to simulate user experiences, craft detailed user personas, develop user research plans and questions, and conduct insightful competitive analysis


Defining the Right Problems with AI: Learn how to synthesize research data and leverage AI to create well-crafted problem statements in the "how might we" format


Boosting Ideation and Brainstorming: Explore how AI can provide analogous inspiration from diverse domains and generate creative solutions20....
