Why prototyping is a life skill | Adriana Magni | TEDxFredrikstad
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-15 17:00
[Music] [Applause] At some point in our life, we all face uncertainty. Whether you're making a big life decision or simply trying something new, there is always that nagging question repeating, will this actually work? But what if instead of guessing, we test it? Because testing give us a safe space to mess it up, learn and adjust. And failing during testing is infinitely better than failing when it is too late or too expensive to make changes. Recently, I was designing a museum experience for kids. The goa ...
How to prototype your life | Hedi Schaefer | TEDxHHL
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-02 16:54
Core Argument - The speech challenges the conventional notion of a linear life path and pre-defined success, arguing that change is constant and life is non-linear [3][4][5] - It introduces the concept of "prototyping" as a method for navigating uncertainty and personal growth, emphasizing testing, learning, and iteration [11][12] - The speaker advocates for focusing on how one wants to feel, using that as a guiding vision rather than a rigid plan [14][32] The "I Love It" Framework - The framework involves identifying what one loves (log in), what one needs more of (plus), and what one needs to eliminate (limitation) in a specific area of life [17][18][19] - This framework is presented as a tool for personal experimentation and iterative improvement across various life aspects [23][25] - The framework encourages action and experimentation over excessive planning, promoting a "prototyping playground" approach [20][21] Neurological Impact of Clarity - Gaining clarity through experience calms the amygdala (reducing the fight-or-flight response) and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and grounding [29] - This process increases self-agency, problem-solving abilities, and focus, while decreasing cortisol levels [30][31] - The speaker suggests that this process rewires the brain for more confidence and clarity, fostering a change-literate mindset [31] Call to Action - The speech encourages listeners to embrace change, prototype their lives, and focus on creating a life aligned with their desired feelings [32][33] - It emphasizes the importance of action over potential, urging individuals to contribute to a changing world [33]
GPT-5: Our best model for work
OpenAI· 2025-08-07 18:01
Model Capabilities - GPT5 adjusts reasoning effort based on the task, eliminating the need to select a specific model [1] - GPT5 excels at data analysis, including identifying trends and themes from messy data [2][3] - GPT5 demonstrates improved coding capabilities, particularly in front-end development, enabling rapid prototyping [3][6] - GPT5 refines writing style and respects guidance on tone, reducing errors [5] - GPT5 offers suggestions for next steps and potential improvements [4][7] Workflow & Productivity - GPT5 facilitates the entire process from customer feedback analysis to building a working prototype [7] - GPT5 provides clear explanations of its methodology to ensure trust in its conclusions [4] - GPT5 can generate product requirements documents and user stories [4] - GPT5 can create interactive prototypes from a single prompt [5][6] - GPT5 delivers reliable and thorough answers, including executive summaries with charts and tables [8]
How Monzo Uses AI to Prototype
Prototyping Tools & Workflow - The industry is exploring prototyping tools like Laval or Revlit, with varying code output quality [1] - The goal is to find a prototyping tool that generates code closely matching the team's internal standards [2] - This reduces reverse engineering efforts when designers hand off prototypes to engineers [2] Time & Cost Efficiency - A design change, such as the agent page on Property Finder, can be implemented in approximately one to two weeks using suitable prototyping tools [2] - The industry aims to lower the barrier to user testing, making it easier and cheaper to validate ideas [3] - Prototyping tools can help teams quickly put meaningful concepts in front of users to gather feedback [2]
