Pricey subscribers,
Immediately, I need to share the perfect AI ideas from my new group with Colin Matthews.
It’s been actually rewarding to see 400+ PMs, designers, and founders sharing their finest AI ideas and workflows each week in our Slack group. Listed below are 5 workflows that I’ve personally discovered helpful (plus 10 bite-sized ideas on the finish):
-
A easy hack to enhance your AI prompts
-
The right way to get AI to truly problem your concepts
-
A brand new AI prototyping device for designers
-
The perfect AI device for rookies to construct full stack apps
-
The right way to make AI your private tour information
P.S. We’re additionally internet hosting stay periods (with recordings) in the neighborhood, reminiscent of a latest “Intro to Claude Code” session led by Colin. Be a part of us right this moment!
This publish is dropped at you by…Jira Product Discovery Premium
I’ve seen firsthand how troublesome it’s to get a number of groups to align on the identical roadmap and set of priorities. Jira Product Discovery Premium goals to repair this by:
-
Giving management visibility throughout all groups with aggregated roadmaps.
-
Controlling what stakeholders see (and when) with granular permissions.
-
Connecting your concepts to actual outcomes with relationship mapping between alternatives, options, and initiatives that will help you prioritize what issues.
Plus get 24/7 help, limitless storage, sandbox, automations, insights, and extra.
As lots of you realize, I’ve an AI immediate library that I exploit to edit my publication posts, draft PRDs, and extra.
However I typically nonetheless need to travel with AI to get what I truly need. As soon as I get my desired output, I ask AI to:
Edit the unique immediate to be able to get to this output in a single shot. Daring the edits that you just make.
Then I manually replace my authentic immediate with a few of AI’s options. This fashion, I’m at all times utilizing AI to improve my finest prompts and save time.
AI tends to agree with no matter you say, which isn’t useful while you need actual suggestions. I requested the group for an answer and bought some nice responses:

My favourite resolution is that this immediate from Rob (Websim co-founder):
Present incisive suggestions that pushes the boundaries of my considering. Problem assumptions whereas concurrently displaying real mental curiosity and partnership.
Add this to your customized directions for ChatGPT or Claude to remodel AI from a yes-person into an precise thought accomplice who’ll push again in your concepts.
Colin and I’ve examined the hottest AI coding instruments, however all of them are inclined to generate prototypes which have the identical Tailwind and Shadcn/UI design:

Michelle from our group just lately shared a device referred to as Aurachat that’s refreshingly completely different. I notably love their library of nice internet and cell prototypes that you may remix as an alternative of ranging from scratch:

Give it a attempt for frontend prototypes. For full stack apps…
As a lot as I really like Cursor, it’s merely not beginner-friendly for constructing apps that embody frontend, backend, database, and authentication.
As a substitute, begin with Replit. Here is why Colin recommends it:

The beauty of Replit is that it has backend, database, and authentication inbuilt. This implies that you may add the total stack with out integrating with third events.
Replit just lately hit $100M ARR simply 6 months after reaching $10M on the finish of 2024. Watch my step-by-step video tutorial with Matt (Replit’s head of DevRel) for extra.
I simply bought again from France, and AI was the perfect tour information I’ve ever had.
For instance, I really like Impressionist artwork and was excited to go to the Musée D’Orsay in Paris. Once I walked in, I requested AI:
I’m on the Musée D’Orsay, inform me the perfect path to see the nice artwork items. Additionally share extra about every artwork piece and their historical past.
Claude instructed me to take the raise to stage 5 for the Impressionist assortment. I by no means would have recognized that with out asking AI.

I then requested Claude to explain every portray whereas exploring the gathering. With voice mode on, it is like having a private artwork historian in your ear.
Colin and I ask new members to share their finest AI tip after they be part of our group.

So listed below are 10 extra ideas that I’ve discovered helpful, organized into 3 clear sections:
-
Use AI as your thought accomplice
-
Give AI the suitable context
-
Prototype and automate with AI
-
Prep for exec opinions with AI personas. Should you’re presenting to the identical exec typically, create an AI mission with their values and priorities. Then get suggestions in your proposal by asking: “What assumptions or blind spots do you see?”
-
Journal with AI every day. Have a long-running chat with AI the place you dictate every day or weekly journal entries. This offers AI wealthy context that will help you remedy issues ( e.g., “Primarily based on our chat, how would future me (in 6 months) remedy this?”)
