Prototyping with AI: How artificial intelligence can help validate a business model

This is a business-first, hands-on course on how AI transforms product prototyping. We will use AI as the engine of Lean Startup: shrinking build–measure–learn cycles from weeks to days, lowering the cost of experiments, and enabling non-technical teams to reach validated learning fast. Designed for managers, product leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs, the course focuses on value, user outcomes, and decision-making under uncertainty.

Students work across three pillars: (1) ready-made AI tools for rapid no/low-code experimentation, (2) AI API platforms (e.g., OpenAI API) for controlled integrations, and (3) vibe-coding tools (e.g., Windsurf) that translate prompts into working UI and glue code. No prior coding is required - optional code is welcome. Each module blends concise concepts with guided labs, culminating in a working MVP and a defendable business case that covers value proposition, metrics, costs, risks, etc.
