Product Prototyping with AI for non-technical leaders

In the very first lesson, you’ll connect with colleagues and jump straight into hands-on work by building two simple products to see exactly how modern AI coding tools work in practice.

→ There’s a lot of noise around tools like Replit, Loveable, Bolt, and v0. We’ll break down what each one actually does and where they fall short.
→ You’ll build and deploy a basic single-page app in minutes, getting your first real feel for AI-assisted product development.

Now that you’ve seen what’s possible, we’ll shift into a more structured mode by building with intent and understanding. You’ll create another simple product while learning how the frontend actually works under the hood.

→ We’ll walk through each piece step by step and build another mini-product to reinforce your understanding.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Natalie: "Everything is very clear, step-by-step, and well-structured."
→ Alice: "Yes, I’ve learned a lot of new and interesting things — the magic is working, and that makes me happy!"
→ Charlie: "Nice lesson with a good overview and just enough trivial coding. Excited for what's next!"

Most PMs work on existing products constantly adding new features.In this module, you’ll l earn how to use AI tools to prototype new features quickly and pitch ideas to your team without waiting on designers or engineers.

→ You’ll start with a ready-made design and turn it into a working prototype.
→ Then, we’ll walk through adding three features.
→ Finally, you’ll break down the key patterns so you can apply the same approach to your own product and workflow.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Ann: "That's amazing what AI can do!"
→ Marina: "Really enjoyed the lesson! I already did a copy of my product page and added a simple map feature - it just works!!"

We'll need a quick look at "Technology for Product Managers". It's important that you understand the basics of backend services, databases, and APIs.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Natalie: "Clear and simple explanation of complex topics!"
→ Alice: "I’ve got a solid basic understanding now — lots of useful insights, thank you!"

Now it’s time to move beyond static UI and make your prototype fully functional. Unlike tools that stop at the frontend, you’ll add actual logic and memory using databases, giving your product real-world depth.

→ We’ll add three more features to bring the app to life.
→ You’ll see how backend and database work turns a mockup into something usable and demo-ready.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Illay: "Straight to the point, I've never imagined I could build a backend that easy."
→ Charlie: "Very cool lesson. I learned a ton and the info was comprehensive!"

To build production-grade products, you need to know how they connect with the outside world. In this module, you’ll integrate two real APIs, one of them being OpenAI, so your prototype moves from functional to AI-capable.

→ You’ll learn how to approach API integrations like a technical PM.
→ We’ll add two external services to expand the product’s capabilities.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Josh: "Exciting to integrate with OPENAI. Pretty dang easy after giving them a few dollars."
→ Mary: "I feel like a god being able to not only build a product, but to also connect it to the infinite wisdom of OpenAI!!"

To stand out as a technically fluent PM, it’s not enough to prototype—you need to understand what it takes to ship. In this module, you’ll cover the key steps to make your product usable by real users, just like a developer would.

→ You’ll walk through the deployment process to get your app live and accessible via a shareable link.
→ You’ll add basic authentication so the app supports real accounts.
→ You’ll explore a few essential advanced topics that help bridge the gap between prototyping and production-level thinking.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Mark: "Clear steps on how to move from the playground to the app, open to the whole internet"

In this closing module, you’ll put your new skills into practice by building another end-to-end product from scratch. It’s your chance to consolidate what you’ve learned and prove (to yourself and others) that you can prototype full-stack, AI-enabled products on your own like this one.

→ You’ll apply everything: frontend, backend, databases, APIs, and AI integration.

What Students Say About the Lesson:
→ Marina: "Thanks a lot! Super useful for reinforcing past material— plus, I’ll actually use these apps myself!"

→ We’ll wrap up by connecting all the concepts you’ve learned into a clear, repeatable approach.
→ You’ll also get a ready-to-use prompt to help you continue building full-stack AI products on your own.

To complete the hands-on lessons, you’ll need:

→ Replit account ($25/month) to build full-stack apps.
→ OpenAI API ($5/month) for the AI features.

Highlight business impact: Explain how AI-prototyping knowledge will help you build smarter products that solve real customer problems and drive growth.
Emphasize upskilling ROI: Show that investing in your skills now means faster delivery, better decisions, and fewer costly mistakes down the road.
Connect to company goals: Align the course benefits with your company’s strategy, whether it’s innovation, efficiency, or entering new markets.
Stress team advantage: Point out how your new AI-prototyping skills will uplift your whole team’s expertise and collaboration.
Assure minimal downtime: Reassure your employer the course is hands-on, flexible, and won’t disrupt your current workload.
Simplify payment: Let them know we can issue an invoice if needed, making the process easy for company reimbursement.

No, as the AI ​​code becomes more complex, it will require more attention and effort, and you will have to decide whether you are ready to be a PM and part-time programmer (unlikely). And then you will hit the ceiling of complexity. Moreover, the work of attracting users has not gone away; how will they find out about your brilliant product?

So the empire will have to wait, but already today AI allows a) to quickly present ideas by simulating complex processes and b) to build medium-complexity full stack products (e.g., a personal budget system integrated with payments integration) independently.

Yes, the course is designed for those leaders who know nothing about tech. We will tell you about the basic concepts that a leader (not a programmer!) needs in practice to create prototypes from scratch.

Yes! If you are a designer, you can learn how to turn your ideas into working prototypes.
If you are a budding entrepreneur, you can take your first steps without a team at all.
And if you are from another role, then come see what modern technologies are capable of.

In this course, we are looking at a very specific area of ​​knowledge - AI prototyping. By themselves (without a background), they will not make you a super specialist, but at the same time, they will not go anywhere; you will simply know one piece of knowledge. It is like building a powerful engine for a car that does not yet have wheels: there is nothing to drive on, but at the same time, the engine is waiting for its time.

Therefore, we recommend that complete beginners take the basic course in parallel with special courses: There are a lot of basic materials and they are relatively simple, and a specialist who immediately masters the necessary (complex) disciplines will grow much faster than others, because he is immediately immersed in real (and not simplified) tasks.

No, the simulator and additional materials will be available to you forever, so go at your own pace. Please note that, as in life, you cannot go back and "live" the task again: all your progress will be preserved in its original form.

If you practice for 30 to 60 minutes a day, then it will take about 5-7 days. But rest assured you’ll be too busy having fun as you take your time to analyze and creatively solve the problems in the simulator.

You can be sure of the materials' quality and our mentors' experience. We've been teaching for many years, and we have thousands of happy PMs. Feel free to take a look at the student reviews for verification.

If you passed less than 30% of tasks and materials included the simulator you could refund your money in full.
