AI-driven discovery

Rebuild your research workflow with AI

A 3-hour hands-on workshop for product teams who want to compress 2 weeks of research
synthesis into 2 hours.

About this workshop

Most product teams are still doing user research the slow way. Two weeks tagging transcripts. Three more days clustering themes. Half the sprint gone before a single insight reaches the team. The cost is not just time. It is shipping the wrong thing.

The AI-Driven Discovery workshop is a 3-hour hands-on session for researchers, PMs, and designers who run their own discovery. You will spend the afternoon working through a real dataset, learning a hybrid methodology that combines human empathy with AI pattern recognition.

You will walk out with a Discovery Playbook your team can use the next morning. That is the bar we are holding ourselves to.

This is part of the AI-Native Practitioner Series from the Institute of Product Leadership.

Who should attend

This workshop is built for you if you are:

  • A UX researcher moving from manual coding to AI-assisted synthesis
  • A product manager running discovery without a dedicated research team
  • A designer who conducts your own user interviews
  • An insights or strategy professional working with qualitative data at scale
  • Curious about AI for research but unsure where to start

You do not need any technical background. If you can use Google Docs, you can do this workshop.

What you will learn

  • Map your research workflow and identify which parts AI should accelerate
  • Process 100+ user interview transcripts in under 30 minutes using Claude and NotebookLM
  • Build customer archetypes grounded in real data, not assumptions
  • Spot where AI flattens qualitative data and catch what the machine misses
  • Present AI-assisted insights to stakeholders without losing credibility
