If a picture is worth a thousand words, a prototype is worth a thousand meetings. And that's one area where AI is starting to come into its own.
tldraw (my go-to whiteboard app) dropped an OpenAI integration last week. All it took was 30 seconds and a sketch of what to build—a simple, money-saving widget with a slider and a confirmation message.
Is it great production-ready output? Of course, not.
Does this make brainstorming or shaping something new more tangible and participative? Absolutely.
If you care enough about the craft to iterate and collaborate early on in the process, AI-enabled tools can make taking the longer way a lot faster.
