Rehashing the Double Diamond: Collaborating across functions with AI-assisted prototyping
Summary
As AI rapidly transforms creative work, designers urgently need new ways to stay in the driver’s seat while collaborating with intelligent tools. This talk introduces a practical, repeatable workflow for designing with AI—anchored in real work from Arity’s internal Cursor adoption initiative. Using Cursor as a case study, we’ll show how AI reshaped our design and product development process by accelerating prototyping and enabling teams to work with greater collaboration and autonomy. Attendees will leave with actionable methods for integrating AI into their own discovery, definition, and delivery workflows.
