About the show

The Prod Cast is about digging into the overlaps, interactions and synergies between product management & product design. As an antidote to the thousands of podcasts discussing product management or product design in isolation, we recognise that these disciples are by their nature team sports that thrive when both succeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 4 - AI & The Rise of The Design Inventor

This episode explores how AI is reshaping product design in practice, from rapid prototyping to building real, working logic before a single line of production code is written. Craig and Tali share hands-on examples of using tools like ChatGPT, Figma Make, and code-based prototypes to speed up decision-making, improve collaboration, and tackle complex design problems. They also discuss the limits of today’s AI, why designers must stay in control, and how embracing these tools can elevate—rather than replace—the role of design. Hosted on Acast.
