This two-session sprint course explores how AI is transforming the practice of prototyping. In today’s innovation environment, business leaders must validate ideas quickly, cheaply, and persuasively in order to stay competitive and operate at the velocity customers expect. While prototyping is not new, AI-enabled tools fundamentally shift the speed, accessibility, and fidelity of what can be created by non-technical leaders, freeing up technical capacity and accelerating the overall product development process. The course builds foundational knowledge of prototyping as a leadership and alignment tool, then demonstrates how generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney) and AI-enabled no-code platforms (e.g., Lovable, Replit, Figma, Bolt) allow leaders to create working demos in days. Students will emerge with skills to: • Lead teams through ideation and prototyping under accelerated timelines. • Gain comfort getting hands on with new tools and embodying the role of “builder” • Understand the strategic and ethical implications of AI-generated prototypes. • Communicate and pitch ideas through demo-driven storytelling vs. static PowerPoint decks or narrative documents. This course demystifies how to “speak AI” with engineers, and offers students a unique opportunity to get hands-on with current tools they are likely to be expected to use in many future workplaces. The course equips students with skills they can use immediately in internships. The course complements existing Tuck offerings in Design Thinking, Innovation, and Product Management by focusing specifically on AI as the new prototyping medium. It is recommended that students take the “Creating Winning New Products and Services” course and/or the “Product Management” course at Tuck prior to taking this course. The course “AI and Consultative Decision-Making will have some overlapping content with this course, so students may not want to take both.
