Why AI coding assistants need better tools
AI coding assistants are getting better at reading code, but they’re still blind to what happens when that code actually runs. That blind spot leads to layout bugs, accessibility gaps, and long debugging cycles rooted in guesswork instead of reality. This article explores why runtime inspection for AI coding assistants is becoming essential and how tools like devtool-mcp change what AI-assisted development can actually deliver.

Why AI code agents keep breaking your codebase — and what it teaches us about AI product trust
AI code agents promise speed and productivity—but real-world evidence tells a different story. Research shows experienced developers actually slow down when using AI tools, even though they believe they’re moving faster. The problem isn’t intelligence or capability; it’s context, verification, and misplaced confidence. This article explores what AI code agent failures reveal about AI product trust—and why designing for transparency, feedback, and human oversight matters more than ever for product teams.

The year AI learned to design (but not to care): A 2025 retrospective
In 2025, AI-generated interfaces moved from clever demos to real production use. The results were fast, polished, and often fragile. As accessibility issues, broken edge cases, and “vibe-coded” UX piled up, product teams learned a hard lesson: generating interfaces is easy. Delivering UX that actually works is not.

The crisis of context: What AI coding assistants and context are still getting wrong
AI tools promise to speed up coding, but they still stumble where it matters most: context. This article explores why AI coding assistants and context remain out of sync—and how smarter design can bridge the gap.

When boredom disappears: What AI is stealing from the creative mind
Boredom used to spark imagination. Now, AI keeps us constantly entertained—and maybe a little emptier. This piece explores how the impact of AI on creativity goes beyond tools and tech to the very way our minds wander, connect ideas, and make meaning.

Human-AI collaboration in product design: How UX is evolving beyond interfaces
AI is transforming how we think about design — but not in the way most people expect. The rise of human-AI collaboration in product design is shifting UX from creating interfaces to creating relationships. For product leaders, that means success now depends on designing for trust, transparency, and collaboration between humans and intelligent systems.

How product leaders use AI-powered UX metrics to go beyond NPS
For two decades, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) has been the go-to metric for understanding customer loyalty—but it’s showing its age. NPS tells you what users feel, not why. With today’s AI-powered UX metrics, product leaders can go beyond surface scores to uncover real user sentiment, map behavior patterns, and even predict churn before it happens. The result? A richer, more actionable understanding of the user experience—one that helps teams make smarter decisions, faster.

Microsoft Copilot free vs paid
My experience using the free version of Microsoft Copilot shows just how wide the gap is between Microsoft Copilot free vs paid. Copilot’s free tier often stumbles on even basic tasks. For leaders rolling out AI assistants, understanding these hidden trade-offs — from model downgrades to context limits — is critical to making the right investment.

Smarter by design: How AI improves UX design for digital products
AI is transforming digital UX design—not by replacing designers, but by empowering them. From hyper-personalization to predictive research, here’s how AI is reshaping the way we build digital products that feel truly human.

When agents are the users: Rethinking interfaces beyond screens
As AI agents begin making decisions and taking action across enterprise systems, a new UX paradigm is emerging — agentic UX. This article explores how designing for AI, rather than humans, transforms traditional interface design into something invisible yet critical: structured data, APIs, and explainability. Learn how product leaders can adapt UX strategy to support both machine autonomy and human oversight.
