Event Overview

As AI shifts from tool to collaborator, the role of the designer is evolving just as quickly. In this session, Simon Kim explores what it means to think like an agent, moving beyond interfaces to design intelligent systems that adapt and create real-world impact.

  • 01

    From Designing Interfaces to Designing Systems

    As AI integrates into workflows, invisible behaviours become the new UI. Designing agents means shaping how systems think, adapt, and handle context, memory, and fallbacks to build transparency and trust.

  • 02

    Thinking Like an Agent

    Context is everything. Simon explores prompt engineering as a design skill, focusing on crafting clear instructions and tone so agents deliver accurate, useful responses.

  • 03

    Designing for Real-World Impact

    AI adoption is human as well as technical. Learn how designers can drive meaningful outcomes while maintaining trust, and how LLM evaluations help measure app quality in real-world use.
