1. Describe the problem:
I am a UX/UI designer (with a focus on product design for B2B and B2C SaaS solutions in the fields of CRM, Sales Automation, HR, TravelTech, FinTech, and MedTech). The market is changing so fast that I no longer understand which way to move.
Big tech companies are hiring guys with narrow, deep expertise. Traditional hiring is dying. To remain in demand, you either need to become a unique specialist with strong hard skills, or assemble a "terminator made of agents" — a system that allows you to single-handedly meet the needs of an entire studio.
But there is no clear path. There is no "stack for an AI interaction architect." There is no simulator where you can calibrate your skills — visuals, working with AI, the ability to simplify complex scenarios. There is no feedback to help you understand if my choice will "hit the mark."
I'm torn between options. Time is running out. And the fear of choosing wrong is paralyzing.

2. How often does the problem occur?
Every time I think about my development. Every time I see another news story about AI. Every time I talk to colleagues from Yandex, T-Bank, or read posts about the future of the profession.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I try vibe coding, I follow new LLMs, I communicate in professional chats, I read about the experiences of guys from big tech companies. There's a sea of information, but it's scattered. There's no system.
Courses don't help — they always lag behind. By the time a course is being written, new models and approaches are released. Besides, courses teach you to "push buttons," but I need to design entire systems of agents and understand which unique path to choose specifically for me to become the "top 1%," rather than copying everyone else.
There is no clear answer to the question: "What exactly should I learn to be in that tiny minority that will survive and make money in a year?"

4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
If an effective tool appears that helps me:
Then I am ready to discuss different payment and monetization options with the developers. Because the cost of a mistake right now is losing my profession.
It should be added that I am currently looking for a job. Therefore, I am ready to participate in the creation and development of a startup as a co-founder (preferably with a monthly salary). I will provide the entire team with quality first-hand feedback: I have extensive commercial experience as a product designer and have many designer friends who are willing to share their insights with me.
- Determine my development trajectory in the new reality
- Teaches me how to design and orchestrate a "system of agents"
- Provides a simulator for calibrating skills
- Helps me not make a mistake in choosing a direction
