AI Instructor – AI for designers

What the work is for

YPAI Learn runs live classes on using AI in your own profession. Your classes take designers from a stack of user interview notes to three directions they can defend, and from finished screens to a review of accessibility and wording, and teach them to measure contrast with a checker and trace each insight back to what a user said.

The work

• Teach the live class “Turn user interviews into three design directions with AI”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Review your screens for accessibility and microcopy with AI”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how AI clusters interview notes into needs and pain points, and how to check each cluster against the quotes before it drives a design direction.
• Walk learners through an accessibility pass: contrast measured with a checker, alt text, focus order, error messages and labels, with AI suggesting fixes the designer decides on.
• Help learners whose three directions are really one idea repeated, or whose AI suggestions break the design system they work in.

What to expect

• You teach live online classes in English to designers in many countries. The application asks too which other languages you can teach in.
• With each class you get a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on a sample app's screens and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and the design tool you will share on screen.
• To teach a class, you first pass its instructor test.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
• Already have a course on AI for designers, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

What you bring

• A case study from your own design work where AI helped, with the research, the options and the decision you made.
• Experience running design critiques, mentoring junior designers or teaching UX or interaction design.
• Patience with designers who fear AI will replace their craft rather than speed up the dull parts.

You need

• You work or have worked as a product, UX or interaction designer and use AI in that work.
• Practice with user research, design systems and accessibility guidelines such as WCAG.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If you are employed and your contract needs approval for outside work, arrange that first, before accepting an assignment.
• How often you teach depends on class demand, and each invitation states the expected commitment of your time.
• Applying is free; there is no YPAI Learn course you need to buy or take.
