Product Manager of One: Using AI to Accelerate Prototypes

As more researchers experiment with AI in their work, there’s an urgent need to demystify how AI can play a practical, supportive role in early-stage tool development, especially for those working solo or in small teams.

This hands-on virtual workshop, led by the Accelerator Studio and the AI Tinkery, is focused on how AI tools can support product management tasks like prototyping, stakeholder feedback simulation, and feature prioritization—all within an education research context. Participants will walk away with a tangible artifact, like a prototype idea or product requirements document (PRD) draft, and a deeper understanding of how AI can scaffold product management techniques, regardless of their technical background.
