AI as Design Accelerator with Ryan Wetzel

Summary

Scaffolding collaboration through roles and playtesting.

Wetzel describes four-person board-game teams, assigned roles, AI-assisted rulebooks and peer playtesting followed by revision. A faculty workshop became a classroom experience; the aim was exploratory prototyping rather than production-ready output.

Ask which decisions students originate and which they delegate. Human playtesting creates a useful reality check on generated designs.
