AI Prototyping for Product Managers - Complete Guide

I'm excited to help you build your first AI prototype! By the end of this week, you'll have created a smart task management tool that uses AI to break down complex projects into actionable steps. Each lesson takes 15-20 minutes, and you'll be learning by doing - no technical background required.

Create Your First AI Prototype

Why do some decisions feel simple and others are painful and divisive? It has everything to do with how the decision is presented. Check out this free 8-part email course covering the basics of making good decisions in complex environments.

Structured Decision Making for Product Managers

Every web-based application relies on APIs, and yet few product managers understand how they work. In this free preview, you'll get access to an 8-part email course covering basics of APIs.

Built Chippy.build, the vibe coding tool for ChatGPT Apps.  Featured by Lenny.

ℹ️ This course is a live 2 day workshop + office hours!Chat is evolving from a text interface into an operating system.Users no longer go to chat apps just to search. They book flights, buy products, and analyze data without leaving the conversation. ChatGPT now supports apps appearing directly in chats, allowing enterprises to control how they appear in AI conversations.This course is the blueprint for Product Managers and Engineers ready to build in this new ecosystem. You will move beyond simple text bots and master ChatGPT Apps: interactive widgets that bridge the gap between AI conversation and real-world transactions.In this hands-on cohort, you will:<ul><li>Build Interactive Apps: Create apps that let users interact with your product directly inside the chat.</li><li>Master the Architecture: Deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to securely connect your backend tools to AI agents.</li><li>Ship a Real Product: From configuring your server to implementing OAuth, you will deploy a fully functional app live to users.</li></ul>To ensure you ship fast, we’ll use Chippy, my custom vibe-coding tool built for this stack. It handles the complex backend so you can focus on shipping apps quickly.

Have you seen other PMs leveraging AI to ship prototypes at lightning speed , but when you try it yourself:- Basic tutorials leave you stuck on simple examples ?- Technical obstacles slow your momentum ?- Debugging feels impossible without coding experience ?- You're unsure which AI tools actually deliver value ? You know mastering AI prototyping could transform your workflow. But the path from curiosity to confidence isn't clear. With AI, you can build functional prototypes in minutes. The challenge with AI prototyping isn't getting started — it's understanding what these tools can and can't do. That’s why this cohort is designed to expose you to essential AI prototyping tools and their unique capabilities. You'll learn to debug issues (even without coding experience) to stay productive and deliver real value. And our community will be here to give you the support, guidance, and accountability you’ll need to finally stick with it. In just 4 weeks, you'll go from zero experience to shipping multiple prototypes -- from interactive prototypes to accompany your PRD, to personalized tools that boost your productivity.

You’re excited by what’s possible with AI coding, but once you get past a prototype, the walls appear: errors you can’t debug, databases that break, and payments that don’t process.Tools like Replit, Bolt, and Lovable get you started fast, but aren’t production-ready. Meanwhile, you see posts raving about AI-built products and wonder: what’s the missing step?You need to learn the difference between prototypes and production.This course shows you how to get paid by real customers with Stripe, ship features safely using GitHub, deploy without downtime, catch bugs before users do with CI/CD, and build AI features that people rely on. You’ll submit projects for peer + instructor feedback—so by the end, you’ll have a production-ready SaaS and be ready to earn your first side-project dollar.
