AI-powered prototyping
From ideas to interactive prototypes – without coding, from scratch.
Learn to rapidly prototype digital experiences using AI tools that transform concepts into interactive prototypes while you maintain creative control.
Course is held in Pier 4 hotel in Helsinki. Lunch after the course with the teacher and other participants is included.
Course is limited to 30 participants.
Who is the course for?
- UX & Product Designers
- Service Designers
- Product Managers & Owners

Basic UX/UI design knowledge required. No coding or AI prototyping experience necessary.
What to bring
- Laptop with internet access
- Claude/ChatGPT access (free)
- Lovable account (paid version for 20€) – sign up before session
How you’ll improve
Prototype at thinking speed
Build interactive prototypes in minutes instead of hours. Test more ideas before committing to detailed design. Accelerate the journey from concept to validation.
Expand your prototyping range
Move beyond static screens in Figma. Create functional interactions, test flows, demonstrate concepts to stakeholders—all without traditional development time.
Maintain design judgment
Use AI to generate the first drafts, then apply your thinking and craft. Learn where AI accelerates work and where human expertise remains essential.
Systematic prototyping capability
Understand when to use AI – and when not to. Know which tasks benefit from AI assistance versus human expertise. Recognize and avoid generic outputs.
