How this Yelp AI PM works backward from “golden conversations” to create high-quality prototypes using Claude Artifacts and Magic Patterns | Priya Badger
Priya Badger, a product manager at Yelp, shares her innovative approach to designing AI-powered products by starting with example conversations rather than traditional wireframes or PRDs. In this episode, she demonstrates how she uses Claude and Magic Patterns to prototype Yelp’s AI assistant features—from exploring conversation flows to designing user interfaces.
What you’ll learn:
1. How to use example conversations as your first “wireframe” when designing conversational AI products
2. A step-by-step workflow for using Claude to generate and refine sample conversations that guide your AI product development
3. Techniques for creating interactive prototypes with Claude Artifacts that use real LLM responses without complex API integrations
4. How to use Magic Patterns’ Inspiration mode to rapidly explore multiple UI variations for your AI features
5. Why starting with conversations and working backward to system prompts creates more natural AI interactions
6. How to apply these AI prototyping techniques to personal projects to build your AI product management skills
