Neighborhood Design arrives in San Francisco! 

We took our #NeighborhoodDesign project to San Francisco where designers met AI and magic happened!

That's precisely what #NeighborhoodDesign SF was all about—three emerging designers revitalizing three local businesses in the Excelsior district in under five days. If this isn’t ‘Great design, faster,’ then we don’t know what is. 😎

AI Tech Summit, creating products at AI speed

We attended the AI Tech Summit , where our CPO, Martin LeBlanc , took the stage to impart insights on creating products at AI speed. Here are some of his key takeaways:

• Build products where new AI technologies accelerate your mission.
• Don't take solutions and look for a problem. Understand your customers' problems first, then come up with the solution. 
• Even in the era of AI, consumers still prioritize faster, cheaper, better, more enjoyable, and more convenient products.
• You have the opportunity to become an expert in building products using generative AI, as no one has mastered this field yet.

We had a fantastic time sharing our tools, ideas, and projects with many of you at the event. If you were unable to attend, fret not! You can explore the products we're creating here ➡ https://www.freepik.com/ai
