What 440 researchers signed up for last Wednesday
Over 440 researchers registered for my UX Researchers' Guild talk last Wednesday, The Goal Post Has Moved: How to Build AI-Mockups to Showcase Research Recommendations. The chat was the most engaged the organizers said they'd seen in some time. I'm still processing the response.
The argument was simple. Research recommendations are no longer the end of the work. They’re the beginning. The new goal post is showing what you’d recommend, not just telling. AI makes this possible for researchers in a way that it wasn’t even six months ago.
Three resources for you.
The field guide. A 7-page PDF walking through three of my own builds — the prompts I used and the traps I hit. Download it here.
The recording. Watch the full hour and grab the field guide here.
The new workshop. BUILD Like A Pro. First cohort is open and filling. One 3-hour live session, capped at 8. I'm running it twice, so different time zones can pick what works:
Tuesday, June 2nd from 3–6pm PT (6-9pm ET / 8-11am AEST on June 3rd)
Thursday, June 4th from 9am–12pm PT (12–3pm ET / 6–9pm CEST)
Enrollment closes Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm PT. The founding price is $147. This won’t repeat after the pilot. Details at curiositytank.com/build. If you’ve been on this list for a while and are wondering what I’ve been quietly working on, this is part of it. Some of the rest is coming.
If you're considering BUILD and want to talk through whether it's the right fit, hit reply. I'd rather have a real conversation than leave you guessing.
And whatever you end up building, the broken parts are usually the most interesting. I'd love to hear what you find.
Speak up, get involved, and share the love!
