I’m disappointed to see the rise of generative AI tools that are designed to replace discovery with real humans. I recommend teams conduct story-based customer interviews to discover opportunities and run assumption testing to discover the right solutions. Everything we do in discovery is in service of that. Don’t get me wrong.

Generating data is easy. Data is often not accessible unless you can write code. People in non-technical roles rely on data every day to make decisions, develop ideas or measure success. When tools and systems are not created with them in mind, they lose trust and understanding. It doesn’t have to be this way.
