UX Digest | EP. 1 — Google Stitch, Microsoft's AI Rollback & the Rise of AI Note-Takers
In this episode of UX Digest, I react to three stories at the intersection of AI, product design, and user experience research — sharing my perspective as a UX researcher working daily with AI-driven tools.
🎨 Google Stitch — "Vibe Design" Goes Mainstream
Google's AI-powered UI design tool is making waves, but is it really a Figma killer? UX design cannot be reduced to the tool you use — Stitch handles maybe 5–10% of what a real UX designer does. Useful? Yes. Disruptive? Not sure.
🪟 Microsoft Dials Back Copilot — The "Less Is More" Lesson
Microsoft rolled back AI integrations across Windows 11 — photos, widgets, notepad, and more — following consumer pushback against what's being called "AI bloat." I reflect on why this keeps happening: technology gets deployed before user needs are validated. A reminder that AI doesn't automatically create value just because it's everywhere.
🎙️ AI Note-Taking Devices — Convenience vs. Privacy
From credit-card-sized recorders to AI pendants and earbuds, the market for ambient transcription hardware is growing fast — alongside software tools like Fireflies, Granola, and Notion AI. I raise a question worth sitting with: why does recording someone feel more acceptable in 2026 than it did a decade ago? And what are we losing cognitively when we stop taking notes by hand?
