Don’t Make Me Prompt

Most AI products you use ship with at least three deadly design sins. In this hands-on workshop, you will find them — in a real product you build or use weekly — and prototype a fix.

Bring a laptop or tablet and one AI feature you have feelings about. We will work through the 7 Sins of AI Product Design as a diagnostic frame, then apply the 6 HAX* Principles to sketch a concrete redesign. You leave with a one-page audit you can hand to your team on Monday morning.

For senior product designers, UX designers, product owners, and product managers shipping into the AI vacuum. No machine-learning background required. Bring the worst offender on your home screen. *Human AI-Experience

2. Workshop goals

By minute 90, every participant has:

1. A diagnosed product. One AI feature, audited cold against the 7 Sins, captured in a digital worksheet they can export and hand to a colleague.
2. A new vocabulary. The 7 Sins and a working sense of the 6 HAX Principles — enough to talk to engineers and PMs back home without translation.
3. A specific Monday-morning move. One concrete change they will push for in their own product this week.
4. ‍An honest sense of how deep this material goes — and where to go if they want the full four weeks of it. (The course offer is the natural conclusion of the workshop, not an interruption of it.)
