AI native product discovery and rapid prototyping

This page describes an approach to product discovery and design that blends research, prototyping, and AI-assisted workflows. The focus is on helping teams think more clearly about what to build, test ideas earlier, and reduce uncertainty before committing to larger investments.

The concepts here are relevant whether you’re a founder exploring an early idea, a product team rethinking discovery practices, or a designer looking to grow your skills and perspective.
