(2025-11-23) Badger How To Prototype An Ai Feature

Priya Mathew Badger: How to Prototype an AI feature. This flow allows any PM to go from a simple idea to a prototype of an AI powered feature with no coding to understand the basics of how AI features work.

Step 1: Define Your Idea & Capabilities

Start with a concise definition of the problem you’re solving or the opportunity you’re seizing. Then, map out your desired input, output, and core capabilities.

Pro-Tip: Before building, test the concept in a general chat application like Gemini or ChatGPT. Ask yourself (the model): What is the out-of-the-box user experience? How could it be improved? Focus on potential UI/UX changes, the required tone, how the response is structured, or how to make it a convenient, dedicated flow.

Step 2: Pick Your Prototyping Tool

For this example, we’ll use Google AI Studio because it offers a free tier for testing and integrates well with other Google tools.

Step 3: Engineer Your Prompt

*Go to Google Gemini (or your preferred general AI chat application) and say:

“Make a good system prompt for Google AI Studio from this brief of what I want to build: [insert table details from Step 1]”*

Step 4: Build it

Take the detailed prompt generated in Step 3 and copy/paste it into the prompt engineering interface of your chosen tool. If you are using Google AI studio, tap “Vibe code GenAI apps” to get started.

Step 5: Test it
