Do you think building AI agents is just for developers? Think again.

In this In Action episode of Invisible Machines, Robb and Josh team up with Daniel Lametti, Associate Professor of Psycholinguistics at Acadia University, Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford, and Senior Academic Advisor to OneReach.ai, to show how easy it can be to bring an AI agent to life—no deep coding skills required.

Using OneReach.ai’s GSX platform, Daniel has been able to build a whole host of AI agents, including one that operates around the objective of writing and sending emails. He takes us behind the scenes, showing how he set up the agent’s objectives and created a task flow for seamless email automation.

The trio also discusses how coding languages are gradually receding in importance as machines become more adept at understanding and communicating in human language.

Tune into this In Action episode with Daniel Lametti to explore how AI is evolving to meet us on our terms, in our own language.

Another lesson from studying UX with Laura Klein.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
The Agile Trap Designers Fall into: Feeding the Beast
  • Agile teams are fast, but designers get stuck in an infinite loop of visual work: redesigning the same components over and over instead of solving real UX problems.
  • Design systems break that cycle, defining the building blocks once, freeing designers to focus on how the product works, not how it looks.
  • When the basics are in place, teams can start working together sooner, prototype faster, and release incremental features without the interface falling apart.

AI Is Your New Intern, Not Your Replacement

  • Artificial Intelligence, Design Leadership, Future of Work, Human-AI Collaboration, Product Design, User Experience, UX × AI Series, UX Design

AI can create wireframes, synthesize research, and draft copy fast. What it can’t do: understand your users, carry context, or be accountable when something goes wrong. That’s still you.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
AI Is Your New Intern, Not Your Replacement
  • AI is not replacing UX pros; it’s automating repetitive tasks and augmenting human capabilities.
  • Think of AI as an intern: quick, smart, but dependent on human direction, context, and judgment.
  • Human skills like empathy, research, systems thinking, and ethical decision-making are more important than ever.
  • The future belongs to designers who incorporate AI to accelerate execution and devote more time to strategic, human-centered work.

Beyond Vibe Coding: A Designer’s Case for Directed Generation

  • AI-Assisted Design, Design Systems, Design Thinking, UX Design, Vibe Coding

How the most intentional designers are working with AI — and why “vibe coding” really needs a better name.

Article by Jim Gulsen
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Beyond Vibe Coding: A Designer’s Case for Directed Generation
  • The term “vibe coding” initially described an unstructured approach with minimal accountability, which doesn’t apply to professional design. It risks oversimplifying AI-assisted processes, ignoring the intentionality and expertise involved in high-level design. 
  • In practice, designers engage in “directed generation,” setting clear constraints, selecting references, and refining details. The AI model follows the designer’s guidance rather than taking initiative.
