Doing UX Research alongside AI workshop- part 4

This workshop builds on the Miniclass Rethinking User Research with AI (Free with Open Circle membership).

In this workshop, “Doing UX Research alongside AI,” we will conduct user research using AI throughout the UX Research (UXR) process. We’ll test workflows and tools together in a hands-on format.

Why AI in User Research?

Incorporating AI in UX research can potentially drive research productivity. Experimenting with new tools and methodologies keeps UX researchers (and those wanting to or doing user research) at the forefront of the field, enabling you to explore new possibilities and stay competitive. Embracing AI-assisted tools is crucial for staying relevant.

Figure this out, or somebody else will for you (like your Product team).

This workshop aims to provide practical skills and an understanding of using AI tools to gather and interpret user data. This includes understanding user needs, preferences, and pain points with greater precision. These insights can inform design decisions, leading to more efficient data analysis and stakeholder decision support.

About the workshop

This workshop provides a playground to explore AI-augmented User Research. You learn how AI can enhance user research, from automating data collection to analyzing user behavior patterns. This integration can streamline the research process, making it more efficient and accurate.

Yes, but knowing how and when to bring in AI is critical. In this workshop, we will get hands-on experience with tools. Frank Spillers will facilitate your discovery, helping you fold AI into your research process without losing core UX best practices.

We will discuss the ethical use of AI in user research, expose AI-assisted weaknesses, and identify how to manage AI to avoid mistakes.

Overall, the workshop will equip you with a cutting-edge exploration into emerging AI-assisted UX research workflows. The goal is to make you more proficient in blending AI with UX research for better outcomes.

Topics we will cover:

  • Current UX Research AI tools: pros and cons
  • Playing with tools (hands-on effort)
  • Shortcuts with AI: good and bad for UXR
  • Governance model for AI-assisted User Research
  • Managing stakeholders: “Democratizing User Research with AI”

6 hours total over 3 sessions

Cost: $199 (non-member); $150 Open Circle member; Free for UXIC members
