Using Creative Frameworks to Solve Problems with Generative AI with Leslie Grandy

​Join ProductTank Seattle for an educational session with author and instructor Leslie Grandy, exploring structured frameworks that elevate generative AI as a catalyst for creativity and innovation.

​This talk explores structured techniques humans can use when collaborating with AI to enhance creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. This approach moves beyond simply prompt engineering to generate content. Instead, the intention is to focus on strategic ideation frameworks that guide the human-AI partnership, ensuring outputs are meaningful, novel, and sound. Generative AI is not just a tool for automation but a co-creative partner that can enhance, refine, and challenge human thinking. However, without thoughtful frameworks, AI risks becoming a productivity crutch rather than a true catalyst for innovation.
