UXNight: How Teams Design AI Tools

Thu, Dec 3, 1:15 AM

From Cascade SF, Experience Designers

4.7

\*\*\*\*Please note: A ticket must be purchased through Luma to attend this event. An RSVP without a ticket does not guarantee admission.\*\* **Get tickets at [luma.com/designaitools](luma.com/designaitools)** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- # UXNight is back. And UX is entering a whole new era. **AI is changing how we design, what we design, and what it means to create great user experiences.** As intelligent products and AI agents reshape the digital landscape, UXNight returns to bring designers, researchers, and product leaders together to explore what's next. For our return, **Cascade SF is teaming up with Superhuman** for an evening exploring how teams across the company design AI-powered products, collaborate across disciplines, and create agentic experiences for everyday users. **Come for the insights, stay for the connections!** Enjoy food and refreshments sponsored by Superhuman, connect with fellow designers and product leaders, and stop by our special **Aura Photography Booth** for a unique, colorful portrait to capture the evening. ## How Teams Design AI Tools What does it take to design AI products when the technology, user expectations, and design practices are all evolving at once? Hear directly from Superhuman's design and research leaders as they share the challenges they're tackling, the workflows they're developing, and what they're learning along the way. From designing intuitive AI agents to scaling research and building user trust, we'll explore how different disciplines contribute to creating AI experiences that are useful, approachable, and grounded in real human needs. **Explore the ideas, challenges, and emerging practices shaping the next era of AI product design.** ## Featured Talks **"Designing Agents for the Everyday User"** Phil Vander Broek · Head of Design, Superhuman Go **"Researchers, Build Your Own Table: Scaling Influence in the Age of AI"** Josh Williams · Director of Product Research, Superhuman **"Designing for Trust with AI"** April Littrell · Senior Content Designer, Growth Design, Superhuman ## What We'll Explore * Designing intuitive, useful AI agents for everyday users * How AI is transforming design and research workflows * Scaling research to keep pace with faster product development * Collaboration across design, research, product, and leadership * Building trust through transparency, voice, and content design **For product designers, UX researchers, content designers, design leaders, and anyone building AI products.** *** # Announced Sessions ## "Designing Agents for the Everyday User" **Phil Vander Broek, Head of Design at Superhuman Go** AI agents are going mainstream, but many of today's interaction patterns were developed for technical users. How do we make agents intuitive and useful for everyone, from marketers and sales teams to students? Superhuman Go is an AI coworker designed to understand your work and help you get things done wherever you work. Phil Vander Broek will share what his team is learning as they bring agentic experiences to everyday users. **What you'll learn:** * **Introducing the agent mental model:** How onboarding helps users understand an AI coworker and gradually discover its capabilities. * **Designing for control:** How users delegate work to agents while staying informed and in charge. * **Making agents accessible:** Approaches to discovering, creating, and using agents without technical expertise. * **Balancing proactivity and autonomy:** How to design agents that know when to help and when to stay out of the way. You'll leave with emerging design patterns, practical lessons, and a clearer understanding of the challenges shaping the next generation of agentic experiences. *** ## "Researchers, Build Your Own Table: Scaling Influence in the Age of AI" **Josh Williams, Director of Product Research at Superhuman** AI is accelerating product development. But as teams move faster, how can researchers ensure that meaningful insights continue to influence what gets built? Josh Williams will share how Superhuman's research team is rethinking its tools, systems, and workflows to increase research's impact across the organization. Drawing from real examples, he'll explore how the team is using AI to analyze findings, connect evidence, and make research more accessible and actionable. **What you'll learn:** * **Building shared research systems:** Create infrastructure that makes findings easier to organize, discover, and reuse. * **Accelerating analysis with AI:** Use emerging tools to synthesize findings and uncover connections across research. * **Making insights actionable:** Help product teams access evidence and apply it to decisions. * **Expanding research's influence:** Develop workflows that give researchers more capacity to connect insights, guide strategy, and support faster-moving teams. Discover how AI can help researchers move beyond delivering findings to building systems that amplify their influence across product development. *** ## "Designing for Trust with AI" **April Littrell, Senior Content Designer, Growth Design, Superhuman** AI's most powerful tools are becoming friendlier and more approachable. Playful interfaces, warm language, and familiar interactions make sharing our emails, documents, and personal information feel increasingly ordinary. But are we earning people's trust, or simply making it easier to overlook their concerns? **How do we make AI approachable without making its consequences easier to overlook?** April Littrell explores how content design shapes trust across the user journey, from a brand's first impression to onboarding and everyday product interactions. Using familiar industry examples and the public Superhuman website, she'll examine how voice, product framing, and information architecture influence what people understand, expect, and ultimately trust. **What you'll learn:** * **Design for transparency:** Communicate what AI can and can't do, including limitations, uncertainty, and how personal data is used. * **Build trust through content:** Use voice, tone, and messaging to make AI approachable without overstating its capabilities. * **Align promises with experiences:** Identify gaps between what your product promises, what people understand, and what it actually delivers. * **Look beyond conversion:** Understand why signups and activation don't necessarily indicate lasting trust. Conversion rates tell us people signed up or started using our product. They don't tell us whether we've built lasting trust, or a house of cards. **\*\*\*Get tickets while you can at [luma.com/designaitools](luma.com/designaitools)\*\*\*** \-\-\-\-\- Want to give a talk?

Volleyball. Training and Playing.

Sat, Nov 14, 5:00 PM

From Ocean Beach Volleyball Training and Playing. San Francisco

4.9

1001 Great Hwy, San Francisco. Stairwell #17 across from the Beach Chalet. 9:00 start time. Ocean Beach Volleyball Meetup is a training-and-play event for players who want to get better, not just jump straight into games. Everyone starts with three short phases of VBX Volleyball training before open play. VBX is a no-net training system that helps players improve faster by giving them more touches, more rallies, and more chances to read, move, pass, set, and attack in game-like situations. After the VBX warm-up and skill-building phases, players move onto the nets for open play. As the group keeps improving, we’ll also set up more courts geared toward doubles play for players who want a faster, more competitive challenge. All levels are welcome, but the goal is simple: train first, play better, and build a stronger Ocean Beach volleyball community. Let me know how I may help you! Come train, play, and grow with us. See you on the sand! Coach Dale VBX Volleyball Systems 😊🏐😎 Questions? Message me here.

Bay Area Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience

Mon, Nov 16, 2:00 AM

From Singles Events in the US & Canada | Conscious Connections

4.8

**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗦𝗩𝗣. 👉 $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab. Your session date, time and Zoom link arrive by email within 24 hours. Booking close to a session? Go for it. We'll do our best to place you in it, or you'll join the following one. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗔𝗕? A guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction. Less performance. Less pressure. Far less small talk. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It's a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness and real-world human connection, made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦 \- Two hours of live\, guided connection games from your own couch \- Cameras on\, everyone present: you laugh\, play\, move and engage \- Facilitated in real time by Eloah\, with 15 years of experience\, and shaped around whoever is there \- An optional in\-person gathering afterward for those who join the session\, where applicable \- A WhatsApp thread to stay connected\, where applicable 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 \- The felt experience of being fully yourself with people you just met \- Relational tools you carry into dates\, friendships\, family and every room you walk into \- For some\, new friends\, a whole new circle\, even a partner\. We've seen all of it grow from here\. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗜𝗙 \- You value growth\, and you want it to feel good\, fun and playful \- You'd rather experience something than just consume more content \- You're craving social spaces with more depth \- You want deeper connection without forced intimacy \- You're open to meeting people in a more intentional way 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 $𝟱𝟵? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁. Free to RSVP. 👉 $59 to book your place: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

Sat, Nov 14, 4:00 PM

From The Board Walks – San Francisco

5.0

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Bring your pup (or borrow the excuse to meet everyone else's) and leave with a new friend. No dog? No problem, you're completely welcome. We meet at 10 AM at Motivat Coffee Roasters (formerly Slojoy), 1528 Webster St, near 19th St Oakland BART. Grab a coffee, then we walk the flat 3.4-mile loop around the lake together at an easy pace. Plan for about 2.5 hours, and anyone who wants to keep hanging out can join an optional brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen after. Dogs stay leashed, and bring water for both of you. Wear layers and come as you are. Getting there: Taking BART: Exit at 19th St. Oakland BART (dogs in carriers). Motivat Coffee Roasters (1528 Webster St, formerly Slojoy) is 2 blocks away. Driving and parking: Street meters on Webster and Harrison St are FREE on Sundays until 12:00 PM! Just snap a photo of your meter's ParkMobile zone number when you park at 10:00 AM so you can add time from your phone at noon ($3/hr) while we're out on the lake. For all-day lot parking, 1520 Harrison St is one block over. As always in Oakland, please leave zero bags or visible items in your car. See you and your furry plus-ones out there!
