The traditional Product Development Lifecycle was built for a different era — one of long documentation cycles, endless handoffs, and delayed releases. But Generative AI is rewriting the rules. Today, product teams can move from concept → prototype → deployable code in a fraction of the time — without sacrificing clarity or creativity. In this high-impact session, we’ll explore how GenAI is collapsing the distance between product thinking, design, and engineering. You’ll discover how Executable PRDs, AI-assisted design in Figma, and rapid code generation workflows are transforming how modern products are built. This is not just theory. You’ll see a live, end-to-end demo where we take a real feature idea and build it in real time — from structured product intent to working UI and deployable code. No months of backlog grooming. No lengthy handoffs. Just accelerated product building powered by context and AI. If you’re a designer, engineer, or product thinker, this session will challenge how you view the PDLC — and show you how to build faster, smarter, and more impactfully in the age of GenAI.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
