Instead of being an observer, I will document my journey to learn and apply different AI tools as a designer.
Today I attended the workshop ⚡️ Maven LIVE: AI Prototyping for Product Managers in 2025 by Colin Matthews which promises to show non-technicals how to build a prototype with AI tool (Bolt.new) in 10 mins. It was a very productive session and I’ve been great connections with AI enthusiasts and product folks, some of whom are very experiences and whom I can learn a lot from afterwards.
I decided to try out my new found knowledge on a Figma concept that I’ve been trying out using Bolt. The concept is for a Coaching Assistance platform leveraging NPL and LLM to surface actionable recommendations to coaches.
I uploaded a screenshot and after a few iterations and using TailwindCSS (I’d say 10 mins), I got to this prototype. The prompts I used were:
I want to create a prototype using this screenshot. Talk me through how would you approach it. No coding yet.

Under left hand side, add a messaging field anchored to the bottom of the page
When user expands the Assignments Status by clicking on the down arrow chevron, show an expanded state to represent the 2 missing assignments: User Interview and Interview Synthesis. This state should invert the chevron so that user can close the expanded state
On the top right hand corner, when user clicks on the Filter icon, shows a pop up modal with learner filters. These filters should include: Program dates, locations, and other relevant filters

Next, I plan to iterate on this prototype, specifically some of the Filtering and Agent functionalities. Until tomorrow!
