How AI as a Search Engine Can Help Students Succeed
Today's students worked tirelessly through elementary, middle, and high school, filtering down to elite universities, often still struggle with the simplest task: effective searching. Despite academic excellence, many don't know how to craft search queries, assess sources, or extract relevant information efficiently. Traditional search engines like Google often return dozens of results, mixed with irrelevant or low-quality pages requiring manual filtering. In contrast, AI-powered search tools act as intelligent assistants, refining queries and surfacing precisely on what users need by accounting for context, previous interactions, and personal information from the user. While AI results may omit some useful content, they significantly cut search time and improve relevance.

After a few different implementation attempts and a couple of hours later, you have tired eyes, a headache, and almost nothing to show for your brave efforts. Frustrated and confused, you step away from your computer.
When in doubt, Play it out!
In today's age of accelerated change and hyper functional workflows, I often find myself thinking about the role of play in design and beyond. Once cherished as the hallmark of childlike curiosity and invention, play now finds itself under the microscope of corporate KPIs, agile sprints, and outcome driven design. So, as a designer myself, I often ask, in the modern design landscape, is play a trusted companion or a disruptive distraction?
