Prototype experiences people can trust

Adding a chatbot is rarely enough to make a product more useful. In this workshop, take one example product from the question of where AI belongs to a testable feature prototype. Assess which tasks suit AI, match capabilities to product friction, and choose an interface that fits the work. This workshop also examines the context and guardrails behind the interface and how to test whether people can trust and recover from the feature when it goes wrong.

What You Will Master

The Senior Engineer Toolkit
  • Decide whether a product task benefits from AI and match real friction to an AI capability.
  • Choose between inline tools, chat, agents, and copilots based on the task.
  • Design citations, confidence cues, correction paths, and permission checkpoints.
  • Understand the context, guardrails, model, and governance behind an AI interface.
  • Prototype AI behavior with a system prompt before building production code.
  • Test trust and recovery as well as task completion.
  • Leave with a prototype and a checklist for a trustworthy AI feature.

Who is this for?

For product designers and front-end developers who have been asked to add AI features to a product.
