The AI Skill Most Product Designers Are Sleeping On

Like many product designers, you’re using AI. You get decent results by prompting and copy-pasting. Yet, you're still doing all the work. WHat if you didn't have to?

In this episode of the Design Table Podcast, we talk about how designers can move beyond prompting and start using AI to actually execute tasks.

Nick walks us through how he’s setting up simple workflows using Claude Skills to (more or less) automate small but meaningful pieces of work, from fixing things on his site to handling repetitive tasks.

We also talk about what’s changing, how fast things are evolving, and why the real change is about giving away your work. This episode is about rethinking how you use AI as a product designer. It is a must-listen for anyone trying to stay ahead of how work is changing.

In this episode you’ll learn:
🔸 The difference between prompting and delegation
🔸 How to use AI to actually execute tasks
🔸 Simple ways to automate small workflows
🔸 Why AI changes how designers work
🔸 The risks of moving too fast
🔸 What the next bottleneck actually is
