Master UX Design for AI - A Career Accelerator for AI Native Designers

Rupa Chaturvedi

AI Design Leader | x-Uber/Google/Amazon

Level up your individual and team design competency for AI-native workflows.

Pick any AI-forward company (Anthropic, Perplexity, Replit, Notion). The bar for senior designers has shifted: do more with less, move faster, ship higher-quality decisions.

Knowing AI tools isn't enough. You need to operate as a "super IC" with leverage: scope the right work, make strong product decisions quickly, deliver outcomes, not just outputs.

MXDAI builds that leverage two ways:

  • Use AI to accelerate design work (research synthesis, concept generation, prototyping, documentation)

  • Design AI-powered experiences (mental models, interaction patterns, behavioral specification, testing/evaluation)

Past students have used these skills to land new roles, expand scope, and move into AI projects at their companies.

MXDAI is the career accelerator for transitioning into a strategic, AI-native designer. It draws from 3 years teaching AI Design to 2,000+ designers and product leaders across 400 companies, plus my own work as a practitioner, operator, and leader watching this role get redefined in real time.

You'll leave able to design and ship AI product experiences: pick the right interaction patterns, specify AI behavior, build prototypes and use AI to accelerate your design workflow.

What you’ll learn

Become the Super IC companies are competing to hire. Build a portfolio of strategic AI Get certified by the Human Centered AI Institute.

  • Understand how LLMs work in practice (tokens, context windows, why outputs vary)

  • Learn the core building blocks: models + embeddings, RAG, tool use, agents

  • Translate technical constraints into better product and design decisions

  • Define an AI use case for your current product using the AI Use Case Canvas.

  • Define success metrics that connect the use case to organizational value.

  • Write requirements/specs that give the team (and AI agents) the right context to build

  • Learn the psychology behind how people judge AI and form expectations

  • Use the trust ladder to make deliberate calls on transparency, control, and what to show

  • Use the trust ladder to make deliberate calls on transparency, control, and what to show

  • Map conversation paths, error recovery, and adaptive behavior across user states

  • Decide when text, voice, vision, or multimodal actually serves the task

  • Write behavior specs + system prompts that handle ambiguity and edge cases

  • Choose the right prototyping tools and environment for your project

  • Build a working prototype (no-code and/or with Claude Code)

  • Structure hypotheses, user tests, and evaluation loops aligned with user mental models

  • Use AI to accelerate synthesis, concepting, prototyping, evaluation, and documentation

  • Extract reusable components and generate component specs/design.md as source-of-truth

  • Use AI to update and maintain the system without losing consistency at scale

Who this course is for

  • Senior product/AI designers shipping AI features who move fast, but need stronger system-level judgment for trust, behavior, and quality.

  • Design managers and team leads (player-coach) who set the bar and need shared frameworks to guide teams through AI work.

  • Experienced designers moving from UI execution to AI-native, strategic work who want to increase their strategic influence.

Prerequisites

  • 5+ years of professional product design experience.

    The program assumes you've shipped products, designed for real users, and worked with a design system.

  • Hands-on experience with AI tools in design work.

    You've used Claude Code, Cursor, Github or equivalent AI tools in real product work, not just experimentation.

  • Commitment to work on a project through the course.

    This program is designed for hands-on, applied AI work, not passive content consumption.
