A UXR leader's real AI workflow, live

Thursday, September 24th, 2026 | 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT

Hi Wanto,

Join us for AI Show and Tell, a new series where research leaders open up their real AI workflows. There's no polish and no formal pitch, just a walk-through of what they're actually doing with time to ask questions.

First up: Laura Oxenfeld, a UXR leader at SiriusXM, joins our CEO, Michael Winnick, to cut through the AI hype and show exactly how she's using it in her research practice today.

She'll walk you through...

Real tools, real setup: what's actually in her AI stack, and why she chose it over the alternatives.
How it fits together: where AI supports her research process, and where she's still doing things the old-fashioned way.
Lessons from the field: what's paid off, what hasn't, and what she'd do differently if she started over.

Save your spot

This is the first in the series, with more research leaders (and more workflows) coming after it. If you're curious to see how it all comes together, join us live!

P.S. Can't attend live? Register now and we'll send you the recording after.

Hope to see you there,

The Dscout Team

When AI prototypes leave gaps, try this.

New from People Nerds - September 10, 2026 - presented by Dscout

Hello Wanto!

When a prototype comes together faster than the strategy behind it, inconsistencies can arise.

Below, Bex Jeanson shares how her team used AI-based prototyping as a thought partner (and where that approach helped and fell short), and why they turned to object-oriented UX (OOUX) to finish building their MVP.

Plus, we're officially launching our AI Show and Tell Series! Join UX leaders and product teams as speakers share what they're trying, what they're building, and what they're learning as they continue navigating these tools.

Join us on Thursday, September 24th at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT for the first installment of our AI Show and Tell Series!

This series features leaders sharing the AI-powered workflows, experiments, and tools they’re building. Not just the possibilities, but what actually happens when they put them to use.

Laura Oxenfeld, UXR Leader at SiriusXM, will kick things off and share how she’s connecting Dscout’s MCP with MCPs from other research tools to create a more AI-enabled research workflow.

Cheers,
The People Nerds Team

Build a better system for AI quality

Hi Wanto,

AI quality isn’t something teams can solve with a single tool or checklist. As these systems become more complex and customized, leaders are having to make their standards more explicit, surface institutional knowledge, and rethink how quality gets assessed.

Learn how industry leaders at TD Bank Group, The Cigna Group, Dscout, and more are adapting and why human judgment still matters most when the rules are changing.
