We’re bringing UX and product professionals together to learn, connect, and strengthen the Porto UX ecosystem—while exploring how AI, Tech, and UX intersect to build successful AI products and services made in Porto.What this workshop is aboutAI is changing digital experiences fast—but adoption only succeeds when AI is designed around people. This session gives UX designers, product managers, and tech professionals practical strategies to create AI experiences that are useful, trustworthy, engaging, and ethical.You’ll learn how to apply Human-AI Experience (HAX) design patterns, focusing on:Explainability (help users understand “why” and “how”)Feedback mechanisms (how users can guide or correct AI)Error handling (graceful recovery when AI fails)Building trust (transparency, reliability, and user confidence)We’ll pair these patterns with the AX Framework (Applied AI Experience Framework), a structured way for teams to reason about:Decision boundaries and when to automate vs. keep humans in controlResponsibility & accountability for AI behaviorTrust and alignment with real user needs beyond the interfaceThrough real-world examples and hands-on group exercises, you’ll practice translating user needs into data/decision strategies, addressing bias, defining limits of automation, and thinking about how to evaluate AI behavior over time.FormatShort talks in a conference-style setupThen collaborative table work in 4–5 small groups (about 4–5 people per group) for practical activities and discussionWhat you’ll leave withA clear understanding of how to combine HAX interaction design patterns with the AX FrameworkA practical toolkit for designing AI-driven products that are transparent, accountable, and aligned with user mental modelsNew connections within Porto’s UX and product communityWhat you need to bring / requirementsBring your own laptopWi-Fi is requiredTicket responsibility (please read)To keep things fair for the community and help us plan the workshop logistics, please only get a ticket if you’re confident you can attend.If something changes and you can’t make it, don’t let the ticket go to waste—you’re welcome to pass it on to someone else (a friend, colleague, ...) who can join in your place.If you’d rather return your ticket so it can be released to someone else, please contact us at christian.kuhn@optimizer.pt as soon as possible.Sponsors & partnersSponsored by — covering coffee breaks (at the venue) and lunch (outside the venue)Media support by Join us to design AI experiences that help people—clearly, responsibly, and with confidence.Agenda?: 09:00 AMModule 1: The AI Experience RegressionInfo: Start with a "Confessional Audit."
