Practical Methods for Integrating AI into Your Design Practice

​How could AI be more useful and applicable to product designers? - other than asking questions to a chatbot and generating interesting images.

​This discussion aims to provide a brief overview of how to use AI and make it useful in your workflow beyond asking questions in a chat format.

​We will explore AI services, tips, and techniques directly applicable to UX designers, including:

• ​AI-based Figma plugins for different stages of the design process, such as wireframing, ideation, and creating graphical assets.

• ​Innovative ways to integrate ChatGPT into your design workflow.

• ​Persona generation and other UX research-related features.

• ​Resources, including publications, social media accounts, and YouTube channels, to continue your journey into AI and UX design.

​This talk will leave you with insights into why having basic knowledge in AI as a designer is essential, to help your actual practice and productivity and to better position yourself amongst your cross-functional peers at work

​It will provide several reasons for designers to consider and hopefully spark additional interest in learning more about AI to include into their workflow and future-proof their careers.
