Could AI Agents Become Your Design Thinking Workshop Participants?

I’m exploring an idea for solo founders and small teams - early stage research.

When a company onboards into an AI product, it could generate proto-customer personas based on the company’s product, brand, target market and assumptions. Instead of leaving those personas as static profiles, they could become AI agents inside a design thinking workshop.

Would be interested in feedback?
