AI Prototyping

Show notes

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why “free to build” doesn’t mean “no cost”
  • How AI prototyping tools help with assumption testing
  • Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
  • Why engineering skills still matter in a no-code world
  • The types of prototypes that are perfect for AI tools
  • How these tools change team collaboration and speed

Key Takeaways:

  • AI tools can help build usable prototypes in hours—not weeks.
  • These tools are great for fast, interactive assumption tests.
  • You still need engineering know-how to troubleshoot or guide LLMs effectively.
  • Product teams benefit most when they build and test together.
  • Even failed prototypes offer valuable learning.

Episode Quote: “Even if the cost to build goes to zero, if you keep building the wrong thing, you're still wasting your life.” – Teresa Torres
