1. How to transform meeting transcripts into interactive prototypes in under 30 minutes using ChatGPT, Lovable, and other AI tools
2. A step-by-step workflow for creating market analyses and competitive research in minutes instead of days
3. How to build a “living product library” that allows sales and customer success teams to demo prototypes to customers before engineering begins
4. Techniques for using AI to break deadlocks with engineering by demonstrating what’s possible without requiring technical expertise
5. Why AI enables faster stakeholder alignment by converting abstract ideas into tangible, interactive experiences
6. How to use ChatPRD to validate product requirements and ensure you’ve considered all critical aspects before engaging engineering
