Product managers who drive strategy, development, and launch of products.

Applying AI tools and techniques to professional workflows — assign alongside more specific AI topics.

Building prototypes and MVPs to test ideas quickly before committing to full development.

Using AI tools like Cursor, Replit, and Lovable to build and ship functional software without a traditional engineering background.

This is bootcamp is very hands-on, because you learn the most from doing. Through daily bite-sized lessons, you’ll learn how to:

<h3>Why I enrolled</h3>
<p class="p2-tall">To be able to build high-quality prototypes using AI. I have some processes in place but feel like I need help to get develop the "last-mile" for the prototype to better reflect my desired product end state. </p>
<p></p>

    <h3>A breakthrough moment</h3><p class="p2-tall">Completed myCRM tool. Here's my thoughts:<br>Link: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="underline text-blue-dark underline text-blue-dark" href="https://myCRM-connect.replit.app">https://myCRM-connect.replit.app</a></p><ol class="list-decimal ml-8"><li><p class="p2-tall">Context up front. I spent a good amount of time making use of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="underline text-blue-dark c-link" href="https://my-story-mapping.vercel.app/">my Story Map builder tool</a> that I created in V0 to see how Replit would handle reading the context. I attached my story map output here for reference</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">I was quite impressed at how well Replit was able to read through the JSON doc in planning mode. I asked it to use the file to help it build the architecture, database, authentication, and design.</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Replit was able to build the authentication, database, and app relatively well with the first build request. Still cost more than $10. I went ahead to pay for the extra service to complete</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Things got more complex when trying to connect resend. Not from a standpoint of the prompt to replit, but because I needed to learn about domain setting and had to purchase a domain for $9 on squarespace to validate that it works.</p></li></ol><p class="p2-tall">In total, the app cost ~$18 to build + $9 to setup a domain for resend.&nbsp;(edited)&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>
<h3>What I’ll apply</h3>
<ul class="list-disc ml-8"><li><p class="p2-tall">Building through V0 with Supabase</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Connecting external apps through Zapier</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Connecting apps via API</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Ultimately launching a production product via Vibecoding</p></li></ul>
