Episode notes
ADVICE

Start With A Clear Product Brief

  • Define product requirements early: ask the AI to write a PRD and iterate with clarifying questions.
  • Use that PRD to guide prototyping and implementation to reduce rework.
ADVICE

Prototype In-Platform Then Export

  • Prototype inside an AI canvas (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to iterate fast visually.
  • Move to a vibe-coding tool when you need backend, rollbacks, or persistent state.
ANECDOTE

Chose Claude For Design Understanding

  • Isar chose Claude because he felt it understood design needs better than other models.
  • Claude pulled brand colors and produced initial brand guidelines and a prototype from a logo and video.
