How we turned PMs into vibecoders

Product managers juggle roadmaps, stakeholder requests, and changing priorities on a daily basis. The ability to build working prototypes often relies on limited Engineering and Design resources.

These dependencies can create bottlenecks, slowing down delivery and leading to frustration among product managers.

Imagine if product managers had access to the latest vibecoding tools to create UIs, integrate APIs, and test workflows on their own. What if they could transition from concept to wireframe and user testing in just a few days instead of several weeks?

In this talk, I will share how we successfully onboarded our product managers onto low-code vibecoding platforms. We reduced prototyping time and empowered non-technical team members to deliver features from start to finish. I'll include real-world demos, adoption strategies, and key lessons learned.

11. 11 Weeks of work saved True interactive prototype Can iterate on the design Validate with user research Get early stakeholders buying Simplify Design <> Eng convos Doesn’t use our design system Not production ready Try Lovable to the rescue
12. 12 Use .npmrc + prompt to bring your design system into Lovable to the rescue

15. Key thoughts Inspire Peer programming Internal tooling innovation Early adopters inspire others. Provide a framework for your team to go explore and try new toolset. Use AI to empower folks, not to replace them. Have a team that owns the tooling, to reduce friction and increase collaboration
