Have you heard about AI but don't know how to start using it in your own projects? This workshop is here to make AI simple and show you the skills you need to improve how you work. We will skip the boring theory and jump right into hands-on activities. You will learn how to put boring tasks on autopilot, so you have more time to be creative. You won't just learn how to use AI tools, you'll see why they will completely change your design process.
In this practical workshop, our expert Stjepan Mikulic will teach you how to get real results from different AI apps. We will cover a range of powerful tools, from exploring new ideas with Grok and Comet, to building your own simple web apps with Lovable and even speeding up technical tasks with Cursor. The main goal is to show you easy ways to save over 12 hours of work every week. You will leave with a clear plan and feel ready to use AI as your go-to tool for getting more done.
