Chapters 1 & 2 of our AI & Design Systems Course are live! 
Our course now has over 16 hours of videos, which includes course lessons, community jam sessions, and other demonstrations. TJ, Ian, and I have been busting our asses, and are SUPER pleased with how these new chapters turned out!
- Chapter 1 – Core Concepts:Â This is a huge chapter that covers the broad arc of technology, the history, value, and challenges of both design systems and AI, how AI & Design Systems together are a powerful combo, and a big orientation into DS+AI tooling & terminology.
- Chapter 2 – Environments & Tools Setup: TJ demonstrates how to set up AI tooling and demystifies often confusing/hard-to-find things like API keys. And I recorded 20 (!) videos about using Git & GitHub to operate in this modern landscape. I’m really proud that we presented all of this in a way that’s equally useful for beginners and experts alike.
We’re now deep into recording lessons & demos for Chapters 3, 4, & 5, where we unpack AI & design systems in these areas:
- Using AI to improve design systems (nearly done!)
- Making better products with AI & Design Systems
- Inventing the future with AI & Design Systems
Our growing community
While it feels so good to make substantial progress on the course, we feel even better about how our community is shaping up. We recently got a DM in our Slack community:
This community is the least toxic AI space I’ve encountered. It is so refreshing in that way; everyone seems so helpful and respectful.
It’s been tough to balance video production while simultaneously building the community, but it’s feedback like this that tells us we’re on the right path. We’re trying hard to create a place where people can ask questions, get & receive help, and share ideas, links, and interesting things. It truly feels like we’re all learning together!
Last chance for $500 super early-bird pricing!
The preorder price of $500 was established when we originally announced without anything in place. Now, the course has over 16 hours of video, a thriving community, and a slew of resources. To reflect this value, we’re increasing the course price to $995 after Monday, May 25th. So if your team has been on the fence, this is your last chance to get the biggest deal on the course!
We want to share a few important things alongside this announcement:
- Purchase power parity is available for folks in different geographic regions, students, freelancers, and job seekers. We’re working hard to ensure anyone who wants to can join the course.
- We’re donating a percentage of sales to organizations helping with sustainable development of AI. We want to put our money where our mouths are to do our part to mitigate the risks and harms of this technology. We’ll share more details soon!
So yeah! By purchasing the course, you get 16+ hours of video, access to our amazing Slack community, live bi-weekly jam sessions, a substantial discount on the full course price, and first access to new videos/resources/materials.
We’re looking forward to bringing this course home over the next month. Thanks a ton for your support!
