Proposal / April 2026
××A half-day workshop to give Poka's product design team a shared AI baseline. Theory, hands-on, take-home playbook.
The pressure is real. Frontier models ship monthly. Operator expectations rise with them. The teams winning right now are the ones building shared AI fluency across design, PM, and engineering at the same time.
For Poka, this is the moment. AI already shipping in production: content digitalization, NLP on handwritten notes, reporting. A design org delivering to factory floor operators every day. A leadership signal that the next twelve months ask more of design than the last.
We're fired up about this. We live in this work every day. We compress the learning curve, bring frameworks that actually work, and leave the team running with a foundation it keeps building on.
By end of session, every designer in the room can articulate what good AI-augmented design looks like at Poka. By end of month, the playbook is showing up in real shipped work.
Shared language across designers, PMs, and engineers. A working “good” definition for AI-augmented design at Poka. One redesign or prototype shipped live in the room.
Designers reaching for AI in research, copy, and prototyping without thinking about it. The playbook in active use. The next AI feature on the roadmap scoped against the rubric the team wrote together.
Three hours. Two parts theory, one part hands-on. We come in custom-prepped on Poka: the product, the operators, the surfaces your team is shipping right now. The design team's workflows lead. PMs and engineers in the room as partners.
Two hours of framework grounded in shipping AI products. One hour where the team takes a real Poka surface and applies what they just learned. Live, together, out loud. We troubleshoot in real time. The room walks out with shared language and a playbook the team actually uses.
Clean baseline. The current state of frontier models. What's hype, what's real, where AI changes the design workflow today.
How senior designers actually use AI across the cycle: research synthesis, voice-of-customer, copy iteration, prototyping in code, image generation, exploration density. The patterns that work and the ones that don't, so the room can tell the difference fast.
The other half of the job: designing the AI features themselves. We bring AX, the framework we wrote the book on, and translate it directly to Poka. Factory floor users. Tablet surfaces. Low margin for confusion. Adoption as the real KPI.
This is where “good” gets defined. How to scope an AI feature so it ships. How to design for trust with operators. How to choose between deterministic, AI-assisted, and agentic patterns. The definition the team holds itself to going forward.
The hour that makes it stick. We pick a real Poka surface in advance with Sebastien. An existing flow, an upcoming feature, a problem the team's chewing on. The room works it together with the frameworks fresh.
We facilitate. The team writes the prompts, sketches the patterns, ships a redesign direction. The output is yours.
Co-founder of LCA. Runs the session top to bottom. Custom Poka prep with Sebastien.
Pairs on theory and hands-on. Lives in AI-native product work day to day.
Brings the design lens. Translates frameworks into specific moves for product designers.
Pre-workshop intake. Custom slides. Real Poka examples. The live exercise scoped before the session starts.
Literally. The AX book and the Agentic Design Field Guide are ours. Both run through the workshop.
We design and ship AI-native products every day. We know what's hype and what's real.
We build the workshop from the design team out. PMs and engineers come in around them.
Every workshop is built from your product out. Your surfaces, your operators, the problems your team is actually working on.
Designing AI for factory floor operators is a real problem with real stakes. We treat trust, clarity, and adoption as first-class design constraints. Same way you do.
Three hours. Two facilitators. One hands-on hour. A playbook the team uses for a year. Every minute earns its place.
Half-day session, custom-prepped on Poka. Two facilitators, three hours, two parts theory and one part hands-on. Per-seat pricing scales with the team you bring.
Tentative start: early May 2026.Outline lands with Sebastien this week. Final date and seat count locked once budget and team availability come back. On-site in Quebec City or remote, whichever's easiest.
