Boosts
Boosts are optional tools your team can use to accelerate your work during a design session. Some harness AI; others harness the humans in the room. You choose which to use.
In a compressed design session, boosts are designed to give your team a targeted lift at critical moments -- when you need to go deeper on empathy, generate ideas faster, test an interaction, or sharpen a pitch.
The key insight: AI and humans are good at different things. AI excels at speed, synthesis, and generating novel connections. Humans excel at authenticity, embodied understanding, and reading the room. The best teams use both strategically.
