John Moriarty shows us how they decide what to prototype and what to build for real.\n🎓 Turn this episode into something you make → https://daicampus.com\nThis is the first episode of the d.AI podcast. John, Head of Product Design at Fin, takes us behind the curtain on one decision his team makes constantly: does an idea get prototyped in a sandbox, or built straight into production? We cover the tools they use by name, where real data is and isn’t allowed, and the judgement behind the call.\nPlus jigs. In woodworking, a jig is a guide you build to help you make the real thing. John’s designers do the same with AI: instead of guessing the answer to a design question, they build a little throwaway tool to find it.\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\nWHAT IS d.AI?\nd.AI is the new programme from d.MBA for designers who’ve decided to engage with AI and are excited for the opportunity it unlocks.\nEvery month, a designer from a team doing great work with AI shows us how they really do one thing. We turn it into a brief, and you build it in your own context, with your own work, in a private community with other designers. The guest is in there for their month too.\nJohn’s brief drops Monday 26 October 2026, and he’s in the community all month to see what people make.\nThe first 77 members get the founding price, locked in for as long as they’re a member.\n👉 Join d.AI: https://daicampus.com\n00:17 Meet John Moriarty and Fin\n02:03 Blurring roles and how Fin designs today\n05:57 How agents broke the old handoff process\n08:54 How design craft has changed\n10:57 Building to learn what to build\n12:42 Surge Intelligence: the rails agents run on\n14:57 Sandbox or production?
