$1,999
Prototype an AI product in 8 weeks
Are you facing a business challenge or opportunity, but don’t know where to start? Learn how to use AI as your innovation partner to evaluate, explore, and propose new innovations in your organization. In this hands-on, intensive 8-week bootcamp, you’ll use the Lean Launchpad method and leverage AI at every point along the way. You’ll talk to real customers, run experiments, get feedback, and quickly iterate. You’ll leave with a pitch deck for your stakeholders that outlines your business case and MVP.
What you'll learn
WEEK 1: ONBOARDING
Set your intentions for the eight weeks ahead, and get to know your amazing 100-person cohort.
WEEK 2: BRAINSTORM AND PRIORITIZE AI PRODUCT IDEAS
What strategic focus drives your product strategy? Growth? Engagement? Monetization? In this module, you’ll learn how to integrate AI into your product strategy to align your AI product ideas with your strategic goals. Once you've infused AI into your product strategy, it's time to get tactical and brainstorm initiatives and prioritize one to prototype.
WEEK 3: SCOPE YOUR PROTOTYPE
You have your initiative. What does your prototype need to look like to bring it to life? You’ll scope out the key features of your product and what you need to build it.
WEEK 4: TRAIN YOUR PROTOTYPE
Training your prototype accurately is tricky, but key to its success. Teach your prototype the internal processes and proprietary data that will make it effective.
WEEK 5: PLAN YOUR USER TEST
Now you’ll put your user hat on. In the first week of user testing, you’ll spend time drafting a detailed plan of how you’ll facilitate your tests.
WEEK 6: CONDUCT USER TESTING AND ANALYZE RESULTS
Once you have a plan, you’ll spend a week conducting user tests and generating both positive and negative insights.
WEEK 7: Polish your prototype
In this last week of prototyping, you’ll create a “change loop” so that you consistently improve your prototype’s output and determine whether it’s ready to scale.
WEEK 8: PROJECT WEEK: CREATE YOUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND PROPOSAL
With the help of AI, you’ll create a plan that covers your prototype results, as well as how you’ll implement, and eventually scale your AI product.
