💡 What you'll learn:
Let's cut through all this AI-hype and see how you can practically apply AI in UX design — turn your fake Figma wireframes into an actually working website or app with AI prototyping (aka "vibe-coding", no actual coding required).

We'll show you how to properly understand business requirements, run user research, prototype UI using design system, A/B test your design ideas, and set up conversion tracking & session replays for analytics. Not to mention creating your own AI agent for UX findings and automated UI testing. We'll cover UX and AI-tools like NotebookLM, Veo3, OpenAI Deep Research, Lovable, Figma Make, Lyssna and others.

💼 You will be working on various projects with lots of practical exercises throughout the weeks, building your portfolio. We have arranged for you to meet our employer partners, and will provide career advice.
