Which Designlab AI course is right for me?

AI Summer Camp is all about fast, hands-on prototyping with the newest AI tools. You’ll focus on shipping prototypes quickly, learning tactical AI workflows, and building with tools like Lovable, Cursor, and Figma Make.

If you’re looking to play, experiment, and move fast, this program is for you.

On the other hand, AI for UX Design is a more structured course focused on integrating AI into the UX design process. It’s ideal if you want to go deeper into the end-to-end UX workflow, research, and designing for AI products—not just building with AI tools.

Rapid prototyping and shipping
Tool-focused (Lovable, Cursor, Figma Make)
Condensed, 4-day format
Great for designers, PMs, and developers
UX workflow and process integration
UX-focused (research, workflows, best practices) with some tool exploration
Multi-week, in-depth course
Great for UX designers and product teams

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know in order to take this course?

While this program is geared towards individuals and teams who design and build digital products (designers, PMs, devs), no specific prior experience is required. AI Summer Camp is designed to meet you where you are—whether you're just starting to explore AI or already experimenting with tools. We'll cover the fundamentals and guide you through hands-on sessions so you can build skills in real time.

What AI tools will I learn in AI Summer Camp?

You’ll get hands-on experience with some of the most powerful tools shaping product design in 2025, including:

  • Figma Make (AI-powered interactive prototyping)
  • Magic Patterns (component generation and scaffolding)
  • Lovable (prompt-to-prototype workflows)
  • Cursor (AI-enhanced dev environment)
  • Vercel & Supabase (to deploy working prototypes)

You’ll also get exposure to how these tools connect together in real-world workflows.

‍Do I need to pay for any AI tools to prepare for the program?

Most of the tools we use offer free tiers that will be more than sufficient for the scope of the camp. We'll provide further guidance ahead of time to help you get set up with accounts and we expect any incremental cost to participants to be nominal.

How is this different from your AI for UX Design course?

AI Summer Camp is a live, immersive series of workshops focused on experimenting with tools, shipping working prototypes, and learning emerging AI-first workflows alongside a community of peers.

In contrast, AI for UX Design is a longer-form (4 weeks) course focused on integrating AI into the end-to-end UX design process, from research through iteration and validation. The two programs are complementary: AI Summer Camp is more intensive, tool-focused, and centered around shipping; AI for UX Design builds depth in workflow integration over time.

How much does AI Summer Camp Cost?

AI Summer Camp is priced at just $999 per enrollment. This includes admission to all sessions and breakout groups as well as access to session recordings afterwards in case you want to reference them in the future.

Will I earn a certificate in this course?

Yes. Students who attend all sessions and/ or watch session recordings may request that a Certificate of Completion be sent to them via email.

Do you offer any discounts?
