Ahmedabad's First AI Designathon

The tech and AI ecosystem around the world is brimming with conversations about coding with AI. Designing with AI is the blind spot.

Everyone is talking about building software with AI. Engineers are shipping faster than ever, and you have probably watched it happen up close. Almost no one is talking about what AI has done to design.

Design used to be slow. It was gated behind years of tool skill and the patience to push pixels for days. AI changed that quietly, and most people, including a lot of designers, have not caught up yet. In one evening, you will see what design looks like now, and you will do it with your own hands.

Meet your hosts
