AIxUXR · The Community

A home base where UX researchers thrive in the Age of AI.

What’s inside

Everything a researcher needs to keep their craft — and their edge.

Built around the seven things members told us they actually need help with, not what the headlines are shouting about.

Live & weekly

Office hours & study club

Bring a real problem, leave with a real answer. Weekly rituals where we dissect studies, workflows, and tools together — live.

Peer help

Researchers helping researchers

Ask-for-help, show-your-work, and a shared prompt library. No question too basic, no gatekeeping, ever.

Frameworks

HEARTS · CRAFTe · TRUST

A shared language for doing AI-assisted research responsibly: the philosophy, the prompting method, and the tool-evaluation framework.

Tool talk

Vendor-neutral tool intel

Honest, researcher-to-researcher takes on the tools and models — what holds up, what doesn’t, and how to evaluate for yourself.

Ethics-forward

Responsible AI, baked in

Bias, privacy, consent, and governance get their own channel and real discussion — not a disclaimer at the bottom of a slide.

Careers

Careers, jobs & chapters

A resilient-careers channel, a jobs board with salary transparency, curated AIxUXR news, and local chapters from Chicago to London.

  • Free to join. The community is not a funnel and never will be — no pitching, no selling in the server.
  • A safe space first. A real Code of Conduct, private reporting, and active moderation.
  • Curated on purpose. Every member applies. That’s how the quality of conversation stays this high.
What researchers say

Researcher-to-researcher, in their words.

“I walked out confident and empowered to build my own AI agents and skills. AI is now an integrated part of my day-to-day as a researcher.”

Why I built this.

I spent a decade doing research in-house, most recently as a Staff Researcher at Instacart. When AI hit our field, I watched smart, rigorous researchers get told — sometimes by their own stakeholders — that a chatbot could do their job. The headlines were loud, the tools were endless, and most of us were figuring it out alone.

There was no calm, credible space built by researchers, for researchers to work through this. So in June 2025, I made one.

Since then I’ve trained over a thousand researchers through my courses and workshops, and the community has become the thing I’m proudest of: a curated, free, genuinely safe home base where the goal isn’t to survive the Age of AI — it’s to thrive in it. I read every application myself. Come say hello.
