About
Colin Matthews was a longtime PM and is the creator of my favorite AI prototyping course, AI Prototyping for Product Managers. He already has two posts in my all-time top 10 — and I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes his third.
In this post, Colin shares his hands-on playbook for turning AI prototyping from scattered experiments into a repeatable, team-wide workflow.
In this episode, you’ll learn
• Colin’s go-to template prompt for rapid prototyping
• A six-step guide for shipping fast
• How to build reusable component libraries for high-quality mocks
• Three tactics to generate better components
• What “baselines and forks” are and how they streamline workflows
• Where prototypes fit into the product development lifecycle
• Common mistakes teams make with AI tooling
• Plus: time-saving prompts, tool comparisons, and a better way to add your logo
