#124 Understand AI in 20 Minutes: What Every Designer Must Know
AI is moving incredibly fast. Every week there is a new tool, a new model, a new headline. For designers it can feel impossible to keep up. But you do not need to know everything. You just need to understand the foundations, the language and the big trends.
In this episode I take you through a clear overview of what really matters in AI right now. We cover the basics of AI, the art of prompting, the rise of AI agents, vibe coding, responsible AI and the key trends for 2025 and beyond.
🔑 Key Learnings
- What generative AI is and why it feels so different from old machine learning
- How to use simple prompting frameworks to get better results
- Why AI agents will become part of every product and workflow
- What vibe coding means and how you can experiment with it as a designer
- How to think about responsibility, ethics and the future of AI in your own work
By the end you will know more about AI than 99 percent of people out there and you will be able to join the conversation with confidence.
Prompting Framework:
Here’s a simple framework I use called CLEAR. Easy to remember:
- Clarity — What exactly do you want? Be specific.
- Layers of context — Who’s the audience, what’s the tone, what format do you need?
- Examples — Show a sample of what good looks like.
- Assess — Review the output critically.
- Refine — Iterate until it works.
Iteration Framework
framework: RESET.
- Revisit — Did I give enough context or examples?
- Extract — Break down long prompts into shorter ones.
- Say it differently — Rephrase or try an analogy.
- Enforce rules — Add constraints like word count, format, or style.
- Test again — Try, tweak, repeat.
