Vibe coding for product managers: prototypes that don’t die

How PMs can use AI to build prototypes that become real systems: specs, data models, and a production-minded workflow.

Most PM prototypes die for one reason: they were never designed to become a system.

The upgrade: prototype → system

If you want a prototype to survive, treat it like a minimal system:

  • define the user + workflow
  • define the data model
  • define the API boundaries
  • define what “done” means

Where AI helps (and where it hurts)

AI is great for:

  • scaffolding UI
  • generating boilerplate
  • translating a spec into code

AI hurts when:

  • you skip the data model
  • you don’t define constraints
  • you ship without error handling
