Wondering how tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Figma AI fit into real product and design work? Join us for our first hands-on AI workshop, led by DIA board members, Kao-wei Chen and John Khuu.
This is a practical show-and-talk, not a lecture. We will walk through real-world applications, from research synthesis and PRD drafting to UI explorations, then open the floor for group discussion. It is aimed at entry-level and intermediate practitioners who want to get comfortable with everyday AI workflows.
Whether you are curious, skeptical, or already tinkering, we would love for you to join the conversation.
