EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Nadav Abrami (co-founder of Wix) breaks down the complete AI prototyping workflow for PMs. When to prototype, how to build divergent solutions, when to go high fidelity, how to hand off to engineers - all live demos using Dazzle.

--- Key Takeaways:
1. AI prototyping doesn't replace problem space work - it accelerates solution space work. Before opening any prototyping tool, lock down the problem, the user story, and the rough shape of the solution. If you can't write all three in one paragraph, you're not ready.
1. Always start from your design system, not a blank page - Drop a screenshot of your existing product and ask the tool to recreate it. Save that as a team template. Every prototype you build from that point looks like it belongs in the product.
1. Build 3 to 4 divergent solutions before choosing one - The entire point of AI prototyping is that building a second and third version costs almost nothing now. We built two versions of the sentiment analysis feature live. Neither was perfect. Both were useful. That comparison is the point.
1. Use visual editing for fine-tuning, not prompting - Once you've picked the strongest direction, switch to direct visual editing. Move elements, match colours with the eyedropper, adjust spacing. It's faster because the result is immediate.
1. Single-page prototypes miss too much - Build the full end-to-end flow. The moment you start connecting pages, edge cases surface automatically. We found two edge cases in minutes that would have cost engineering time in sprint.
1. Prompt clarity beats prompt engineering - Any ambiguity in your prompt will get exploited statistically. Before running a complex prompt, paste it into a separate chat and ask it to find the contradictions. Fix those first.
1. Use discuss mode before building anything major - Don't ask the AI if it can do something. That always gets a yes. Ask what it thinks the right approach is. The answer is far more honest and useful.
1. High fidelity is for selling and usability testing - Low fidelity is for team exploration. Any prototype going in front of users needs to feel real, otherwise you get feedback about the roughness, not the experience.
1. The PRD and prototype should live together - The PRD covers edge cases, empty states, error conditions. The prototype covers the 90% flows. Together they leave zero open questions for engineers. If someone reads both and still has a question, something is missing.
1. The prototype is already standard code - A functional prototype built in Dazzle is a full server-side and client-side application. Download the project folder, drop it next to the production codebase, and tell Cursor to copy the interaction. Most of the implementation gets handled automatically. --- 👨💻 Where to find Nadav Abrami: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadav-abrahami-7507604/ 👨💻 Where to find Aakash: Twitter: https://www.x.com/aakashg0 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aagupta/ Newsletter: https://www.news.aakashg.com #aiprototyping #aipm --- 🧠 About Product Growth: The world's largest podcast focused solely on product + growth, with over 200K+ listeners. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications to get more videos like this.

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Aakash Gupta, featuring Nadav Abrami and Aakash Gupta, I Should Be Charging $999 for This AI Prototyping Masterclass explores AI prototyping for PMs: design-system templates, divergence, handoff workflows AI won’t magically let non-technical people ship production apps, but it can radically accelerate prototyping and small internal tools—especially for PMs who can clearly specify behavior.
