In this episode of Designing with AI, I talk with Jason James about his path from graphic design to leading design and product teams at tech companies like Instacart, and now co-founding Tezi, an autonomous AI recruiting partner. We discuss how hiring is changing, the challenges of designing AI-driven products, and why designers should rethink their role as AI becomes more integrated into workflows. Jason also shares his thoughts on how AI can make hiring fairer and why skills like writing and prompt engineering are becoming more important for designers.
