Send us a textIn this episode of UX For AI, host Behrad Mirafshar sits down with Jesper Bylund, a freelance designer and former Head of User Experience at n8n, to dive deep into the fascinating world of UX design, artificial intelligence, and the no-code revolution. Jesper brings a wealth of experience from his time at n8n, a leading automation platform that has redefined how businesses and individuals approach workflow automation. Together, Behrad and Jesper explore the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of UX and AI, offering valuable insights for designers, creatives, and tech enthusiasts alike.The conversation kicks off with Jesper reflecting on his journey at n8n, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the user experience of a tool that has become a sensation in the no-code space. He shares the story of how n8n evolved from a side project into a powerful platform that allows users to visualize and automate complex workflows through a node-based interface. Jesper explains how the team navigated the challenges of designing for such a versatile tool, and how they integrated AI capabilities to enhance its functionality. He also touches on the importance of rapid iteration and experimentation, especially when working with emerging technologies like AI.As the discussion unfolds, Jesper and Behrad delve into the broader implications of AI for the creative industry. Jesper emphasizes that AI is not a replacement for human creativity but rather a tool that can amplify it. He discusses how AI can handle repetitive tasks, freeing up designers to focus on higher-level problem-solving and innovation. However, he also cautions against the pitfalls of over-reliance on AI, stressing the importance of maintaining a human touch in design. The conversation takes an interesting turn as Jesper shares his thoughts on the future of AI-driven design tools, predicting that we'll see an explosion of creativity as more people gain access to powerful, easy-to-use tools.One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Jesper's explanation of how AI and no-code tools are democratizing technology. He talks about how platforms like n8n are empowering non-technical users to build complex automations and even entire applications without writing a single line of code. This, he argues, is leveling the playing field and enabling a new wave of innovation. Jesper also shares his excitement about the potential for AI to revolutionize research and development, citing his work on Find Insight, a research tool that leverages AI to conduct user interviews at scale.Throughout the episode, Behrad and Jesper touch on a range of thought-provoking topics, from the philosophical underpinnings of the scientific method to the importance of questioning assumptions in design. Jesper shares his skepticism about the concept of “validation” in research, arguing that true progress comes from disproving hypotheses rather than confirming them. This leads to a fascinating discussion about how designers can adopt a more critical and experimental mindset in their work.The episode wraps up with Jesper offering advice for designers and creatives navigating the AI revolution. He encourages listeners to embrace the uncertainty and rapid pace of change, urging them to experiment fearlessly and stay curious. Tune in to UX For AI for a deep dive into designing the future.You can find Jesper here: Interested in joining the podcast?

Most startups are built on hope. The ones that succeed are those that are built around value. On this episode of the Zen Business podcast, your host Jonathan Maxim sits down with a serial entrepreneur and app builder who delivers the value to users that makes apps go viral and earn life-changing profits for their founders. Traveling all the way from Italy, Marco Yammine shares his experience and knowledge of successful app design and marketing. Marco has built and helped launch – from “Zero to one” – over 50 apps. He makes products that are really built around value for the user. It's all too easy for founders to get lost in their great ideas. That's because of the natural human tendency to evaluate business ideas with rose-tinted glasses. Marco's philosophy for building apps is focused on execution over ideas. The practical aspects of apps that people enjoy & that solve a problem, delivering value in the process.  Another is timing your solution with the trends in the market. You will learn in this episode, for example, how to tune in to the market you're focused on. Then you will find a problem or opportunity that will form the basis for a quality app that users download, use, and rave about. The problem or the opportunity has to come first, then the idea. **** Listen to New Zen Business episodes every Monday - Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast & MoreFind @itsjmaxim on Instagram where you can get free Marketing, Mindset and Money tips.

There seems to be a lot of buzz around super apps such as WeChat and the influence of Asian UI design across the world but what does it even mean we say east vs. west? Do the considerations and dynamics of designing for an Asian audience really differ? This week we talk with two Berlin-based designers Helen Chang (Taiwan) and Cupi Wong (Hong Kong) to get their thoughts on the challenges and benefits of working abroad in a new cultural context. Tune in to hear Helen's reflection on the pressures of designing for an app with over 1 billion users as well as how both her and Cupi have seen the social norms of their respective countries play out in the apps used by these billions of users. We also provide some advice on what designers should think about if they are tempted to take the leap and move to work in a new country. Mentioned in this episode: Meituan Descender is hosted by Melanie Löff-Bird, and produced by Francesco Cutolo, Minna Engelmark, Anushae Hussain, Jonatan Andersson, Rachel Rosenson and Melanie Löff-Bird.

This episode features an interview with Alexie Harper and Ori Ratner. Alexie is the Chief Product Officer and Ori is the Chief Technology Officer at the Quantic School of Business and Technology. And they are also both Co-Founders. In this episode, Alexie and Ori talk about keys to designing an engaging UX, challenging learners with real-world scenarios, and how to leave students feeling like they've made meaningful progress in their studies.Quotes*”At the time the buzzword was ‘The Attention Economy.' When we were identifying what was missing in education, we quickly zeroed in on the fact that motivation is a big part of it. And to solve that motivation problem, you're competing with non-education products. In the early days, when folks would ask us about our competitors, we would joke that Facebook and Twitter were our primary competitors, not the schools. So we just recognized that mobile is where students were living at that point. And so we had to be there, too.” - Ori Ratner*”When you're designing an [educational] experience, you have to get out of the learner's way as much as possible. And anything you do that adds a little bit of cognitive load or unnecessary cognitive load, the learners feel it, and you'll see that in the churn.” - Ori Ratner*”We create standard learning lessons that walk the learners through the material. They're very interactive experiences, so every eight seconds, the students should be interacting with the software in some way. And then we quiz them on the material we want them to learn at the end. And the lessons are designed to be story-based, focusing on what does it really look like to be working as a data analyst or someone in finance?” - Alexie HarperTime Stamps*[0:08] The Case of the Move to Mobile*[0:38] Introducing Alexie Harper and Ori Ratner, Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer at the Quantic School of Business and Technology*[8:53] Evidence #1: Format of material is outdated*[20:40] Evidence #2: Visual design is clunky and cumbersome*[27:05] Evidence #3: No incentive to motivate users*[37:27] Debrief*[38:30] HGS PubBioAlexie Harper is the Chief Product Officer and Ori Ratner is the Chief Technology Officer at the Quantic School of Business and Technology.

What does it take to create a mobile app to succeed on a highly competitive e-commerce market? Do you remember a few years ago we used to hear this catchy phrase “Yep, there is an app for that!”. It was about the novelty of mobile apps. Well, today with several million mobile apps in the world, you don't hear it anymore. The days of that mantra are over. These days, a mobile app is a vehicle for an e-commerce business to reach out its customers on mobile and improve their user experience. There is just no other way around it - every app project requires a long-term marketing strategy to succeed on a highly competitive landscape. So we invited Ritam to help us to tackle this tough question - what are the essential ingredients of a modern mobile app design. Today's Topics Include: ✔️ Ritam's path - from a management consulting practice as well system integration and technology practice, working with investment and commercial banks to founding an app design and development company with 90+ team and expertise in all areas of a modern app development. ✔️ Studio graphene is UK headquartered app development company with studios in Delhi, Lisbon and Geneva ✔️ Goal Setting, Impact Mapping, Prototyping and Specification Writing - as the 4 pillars of a modern app development ✔️ New trends in app development Ritam welcomes and the ones he is not a fan of ✔️On which side of the Android & iOS duopoly Ritam is? iOS ✔️ What apps would Ritam miss the most if he leaves the smartphone home. Google Maps ✔️ What hardware / software features Ritam is waiting for? Both mobile hardware and software healthcare related innovations. Links and Resources: Ritam Ghandi Linkedin profile. Studio Graphene website. Quotes from Ritam Gandhi: "I think it's very interesting topic because what is design? Is design a visual element, is design how you think about it, the user experience.  A lot of the times you don't really understand what it is that you are building until sometimes you see it Specification and the detail behind every feature is key to make sure things won't get lost in translation."
