The hardest part of building with AI is getting from zero to something real. In this talk, Stephen Johnston shares a practical playbook for turning fuzzy generative AI ideas into working prototypes that can be tested and refined. Drawing on decades of 0 to 1 product experience, he shows how to use modern AI coding tools like Claude Code to accelerate prototyping, validate assumptions early, and prepare for the step beyond demo-ware.
