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 Gemini Notebook, Veo3, OpenAI Deep Research, Lovable, Figma Make, Lyssna and others.
