AI is making prototyping faster and better. Designers can now move beyond static mock-ups to build realistic, interactive prototypes. They can do it in hours, not days, and without relying on developers. To support designers in this new world, we’ve created the Certificate in AI for Prototyping. This live online course shows you how to use AI tools like Figma Make to build and test solutions faster and more effectively.
Over three interactive sessions, you’ll learn how to create working, data-powered prototypes that make validation quick, realistic and repeatable.
Why AI matters for prototyping
Prototyping is about testing designs quickly and learning what works. With AI, that process becomes faster, more efficient and far more powerful. You can build functional prototypes on your own, connect them to live data, and see how users might really interact with a product before a single line of production code is written.
By removing technical barriers, AI is changing the rhythm of design. It gives you more control, more autonomy and more space to validate designs through rapid, realistic testing.
What you’ll learn
Across three live masterclasses, you’ll explore:
- The future of design and AI. Understand how AI is changing design workflows, and how new tools are helping bridge the gap between design and engineering.
- Why prototype with AI. See how AI makes prototypes more responsive and intelligent, and how it can drastically reduce the time from design to interaction.
- The AI prototyping tool landscape. Explore a range of emerging tools, from Lovable and Cursor to Replit and Bolt, and learn why Figma Make stands out as the most practical and powerful for designers.
- Building with Figma Make. Follow a guided walkthrough of how to build a working prototype in Figma Make. Learn how to set up your file, manage layouts, fix bugs, integrate design systems and publish your prototype.
- Connecting prototypes to real data. Bring your prototypes to life with live data using APIs. Understand the benefits and limits of data-driven prototypes in realistic design testing.
What you’ll gain
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
- Build and iterate functional prototypes quickly, without relying on developers
- Compare and evaluate the latest AI prototyping tools
- Connect prototypes to live data for realistic testing
- Explain how AI is changing design and prototyping workflows
- Balance automation with UX best practice and human creativity
Who it’s for
This course is designed for people with Figma prototyping experience, including UX, UI, product and digital designers. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to move faster from concept to validation, creating prototypes that go beyond static screens.
Why this matters now
In today’s design teams, speed is everything. The ability to test and validate ideas quickly can be the difference between a strong product and a missed opportunity. AI prototyping tools give you the power to move fast, test confidently and iterate without waiting on engineering support.
This course helps you build those skills.
