Bringing AI into UX Work

AI has changed how teams write code, while many UX teams still work from scattered research and unwritten design decisions. Learn to build a research repository with cited insights, functional personas, a design system that records the team’s judgment, and quality checks. Package repeatable tasks as skills, and help developers and product managers do more UX work within shared standards.

What You Will Master

The Senior Engineer Toolkit
  • Apply what made AI work for developers to UX work
  • Organize research so AI can answer questions with cited findings and flag gaps.
  • Create functional personas based on goals and tasks, and validate them with real people.
  • Document design-system judgment for both people and AI to use consistently.
  • Set practical rules for accuracy, privacy, brand, accessibility, usability, and oversight.
  • Build a shared UX playbook and skills library for designers, developers, and product managers.
  • Make a one-page case for a bounded, measurable pilot in your team.

Who is this for?
