AI Without the Chaos: Context-Based Design Systems to the Rescue

Live
30 MIN + Q&A

About this Session

AI is here, it's powerful, and it can make a huge mess. Thankfully, design systems are here to help! Design systems embody your organization's hard-earned brand, visual, UX, and code best practices, which serve as welcome guardrails in this AI-powered era.

This session will show you how to wield AI & design systems together, coupling the generative power of AI with your design system's sturdy infrastructure to help your team ship higher-quality products faster than ever. We'll show how to establish a cohesive, comprehensive Context-Based Design Systems workflow to help supercharge the entire product design/development workflow. By the end of this session, you'll know how to wield the potent combination of AI & Design Systems to help your team work better together and deliver quality at scale.

From my session, you will learn:

  • Design systems are the antidote to AI chaos. Your organization's hard-earned best practices provide the structure and guardrails that transform AI from a wild card into a reliable collaborator.
  • Context is the secret ingredient. AI becomes dramatically more useful when fed the right context. Design systems provide that context in the form of tokens, components, patterns, guidelines, and conventions.
  • This is about empowering people, not replacing them. The combination of AI + design systems helps everyone across disciplines work more effectively together and ship quality products faster.
