Through multiple real examples of well-run experiments and stories from Microsoft, Amazon, and Airbnb, you will see the humbling reality that we are terrible at assessing the value of ideas.Trivial changes can be surprisingly useful, whereas large efforts often fail. Accelerate innovation by building Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and features, and make the organization more evidence-based and humble as it adopts and learns to use evidence from the gold standard in science—the controlled experiment.You will understand the challenges in designing and running trustworthy randomized controlled experiments (A/B tests), including the importance of the Overall Evaluation Criterion (OEC), scaling, common pitfalls, and Twyman's Law. We cover cultural challenges, institutional memory, maturity model, observational causal studies, offline evaluation, AI/Machine learning and triggering, build-vs-buy trade-offs, challenges, and requested topics. The Advanced Topics course is designed as a technical follow-on: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/AdvancedABFS">https://bit.ly/AdvancedABFS</a>

The researchers I talk to feel two things at once: overwhelmed by the pace of AI, and watching real possibilities open up that didn't exist two years ago.Both are true. AI lets you run 500 interviews across 12 countries in a week. It surfaces patterns across thousands of sessions. It opens research to teams who never had budget for it. Synthetic users let you pressure-test ideas in hours. These are new ways of working.But how do you trust the output? Which tools deliver, and which produce confident nonsense?That's the shift this course is built around: from doing research one study at a time to orchestrating systems that scale. You'll get hands-on with the platforms researchers actually use (Listen Labs, Coloop, Marvin, Synthetic Users), hear from the founders building them, and build the judgment to know what holds up.This is Course 1 of 2 in the Certified Agentic Research Specialist program — your foundation. Course 2, Agentic AI for Research, builds on it. The researchers pulling ahead are orchestrators — conducting research with more reach, impact, and confidence than before.No hype. Just what works.

Create Customer Insights with AI You Can Actually Trust

Conduct AI-moderated customer interviews confidently

Extract insights from 50+ interviews using AI-powered analysis tools

Develop frameworks to assess new AI tools and know when they actually work

Use synthetic users for rapid testing and validation of ideas before launch

Guide your team or organization in adopting AI research tools and best practices

Connect with practitioners navigating AI research together and sharing insights

You've worked with customer insights in some capacity—whether you've conducted research yourself, collaborated with researchers on your team

Experience with customer research or user feedback

This is a practical course with weekly exercises using AI platforms. You'll need time to experiment and apply what you learn.

Willingness to try new tools hands-on

We use tools and prompting techniques that don't require any coding knowledge. If you can write clear instructions, you're ready.

No technical background required

Researchers seeking to deliver insights faster at scale using AI—while maintaining the quality and rigor that makes their work trustworthy.

PMs and research leaders balancing the need for rapid customer insights with concerns about maintaining quality, rigor, and team standards.

Designers seeking practical AI tools to understand users, test concepts, and make evidence-based design decisions with confidence and speed.

AI Rapid Prototyping as a Requirements Discovery and Elicitation Technique

Modernizing Business Analysis

Cohort 2 - Aug 12th Austrailia-NZ-APAC

Cohort 3 -US,EMEA,SA

You were trained to discover requirements by asking, listening, and writing it all down. That made sense when building software was slow and expensive.Building a working, clickable prototype is now nearly free. You can stand up a working prototype in minutes, and a working prototype pulls out what people actually need faster than any interview, user story, or spec. Put something real in front of stakeholders and the reactions pour out, and those reactions and feedback are critical!AI helps us write faster, but it doesn't mean that writing requirements is still the best way to collaborate.This workshop treats AI rapid prototyping as what it really is: a discovery and elicitation technique. You will build and use prototypes to surface hidden assumptions, expose disagreement, and align technical, business, and vendor teams fast.*This is a "bring your own tool workshop". Students can use any AI rapid prototyping tool. Common tools include: Loveable, Bolt, Replit, Claude Design, Claude Code, Gemini, and Gemini Canvas, ChatGPT, and Copilot. If you do not have access to any of these, we recommend purchasing a monthly access to Loaveable or Claude Pro for about $20 for the month of class.

Master AI prototyping as an elicitation skill, and shift from documenting requirements to discovering them in real time.

Reframe prototyping as the new front end of discovery

Use prototypes to elicit what people struggle to put into words

Know the difference between discovery and delivery prototyping

Prototype across UIs & Workflows, Reports, Data & APIs, features, and full apps 

Facilitate prototyping across business, tech, and vendor teams 

BAs, product owners, product and project managers, systems analysts, requirements engineers, and consultants who bridge business and tech

Eliminate uncertainty in shipping AI features

“Does it work?”... “Is it good enough?”... “Can we ship it?”...How do you answer these questions for AI products? You’re responsible for “running evals” but what does that mean?How do you choose the right metrics, interpret fuzzy results, and make a confident decision?This course gives you a framework to do just that.<ul><li>Map user value to evaluation (eval) objectives so your metrics aren’t abstract. Define success then translate it into measurable criteria.</li><li>Choose metrics you can actually maintain: capability, safety, UX friction, latency, cost and “does this reduce support tickets or increase activation.”</li><li>Set ship/no-ship thresholds you can defend to leadership.</li><li>Build lightweight workflows that work in real teams: human review where it matters, automation where it lasts, documentation that drives decisions.</li><li>Consider domain constraints (e.g., healthcare safety) and know what to avoid: silent failures, misleading proxy metrics and tests that don’t reflect production.</li><li>Tie everything to ROI: impact vs unit cost, eval coverage vs reliability, and the minimum viable monitoring you need post-launch.</li></ul>Experience AI evals through a case-based approach with a real AI product that we evaluate together.

Acquire and develop a critical skill for product managers who are leading and contributing to AI products.
