SF Tech Week kicked off yesterday, and I hopped over to a Reforge session on prototyping. I wanted to soak up the SF energy and see what’s new. Sachin Rekhi shared highlights from his new Reforge course, plus Brian Balfour announced Reforge Build’s tools. It is clear that Reforge are expanding from being a teaching only shop to building the tools that can help product teams. Here are my takeaways from the talk and from my experience with prototyping (yes, I needed to join this talk to realize it's worth sharing my learnings): 🐒 - Pair prototypes with analytics to get earlier user validation. Watching what people do before you ship cuts waste and validates faster. You can import your product style and layer new flows right on top. This was a new insight for me that makes complete sense—moving the validation phase up. 🎁 - Use the AI vast examples. I avoid providing overly detailed specs when I prototype because I want additional opinions during the building process rather than being stuck with one approach. Many tools now offer options like variations (in the new Reforge Build program), inspiration on Magic Patterns or just ask for several options. I loved how Lovable presented several options with pros and cons, letting me decide what I preferred. 👭 - Prototyping as a team is still early, but it works if you design for it. Also, handing off a prototype to engineering might not be fully internalized everywhere, but I believe as prototypes start to replace parts of PRDs, this will become more standardized. Q&A is always my favorite part. Hearing other people’s constraints sharpens my thinking. 😍 How I build from scratch 😍 : • I start with the main screen where the core activity of your app happens. Connecting with AI tools and databases is essential to identify the small details you'll need to point out or consider. Inquire about preferred design patterns to create a better app. • Then I add everything else along the way—navigation, home page, save functions. • After navigation changes, test all paths, as AI tools aren't very good at maintaining consistency. 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 We’re not at “prototype → deploy” yet, but PMs are much more empowered to test paths, pressure‑check prioritization, and change our minds fast. Go Build!! #Prototyping #ProductManagement #SFTechWeek #Reforge

Episode 11 of the Summer Coworking Chronicles takes us to MassRobotics, Part 1.. We caught up with... -The Co-Founder of MassRobotics, Joyce Sidopoulos -Brian Hart, Co-Founder & CEO at Black-I Robotics, Inc. -Xinyu Wang, Co-Founder & CTO at Mito Robotics -Colleen Cronin Anderson from MassRobotics on this segment… Joyce Sidopoulos Sidopoulous, Co-Founder & Chief of Operations at MassRobotics shares.. MassRobotics is building the world’s largest innovation center for robotics. It's THE hub that people from all over the world come to because it’s where innovation in robotics happens Joyce loves the community! It’s filled with innovators, mentors who want to give back, and successful robotics companies & CEOs who return to collaborate. 👀 What should we be watching? 👀 Joyce is seeing startups in the warehouse & logistics space. There's also been a surge in healthtech, agriculture, and construction. Brian Hart, Co-Founder & CEO at Black-I Robotics, Inc. shares.. His team is building a robot worker that can move around a warehouse, pick up heavy boxes, and create a mixed case palette in real time. Their robot can put together a full mixed palette of 100 items and get it to a loading dock in ~18 minutes. Brian has built robotics companies in the Boston area for almost 20 years and leverages its ecosystem. At MassRobotics he’s been able to share information with companies using similar technology (but non-competitive) like vision systems, custom grippers, etc. 👀 What startups should we be watching? 👀 On the consumer side, look at Nutra Spin. It’s a smoothie in a can without the mess In robotics, check out Luminous Robotics, which is picking up solar voltaic rays and building solar farms with robots. Xinyu Wang, Co-Founder & CTO at Mito Robotics shares.. They're building an AI-powered intelligent robot for lab automation, focusing on cell culture. Cell culture is a manual task that's repetitive and takes up a lot of scientists times, freeing them up to focus on discovery work. Boston is the heart of both robotics and biotech, which the Mito Robotics team loves! What startups should we be watching? ReviMo is building an autonomous wheelchair. Elderly care and human support is a great use case for robotics and Aleksandr's work is worth people’s attention! Colleen Cronin Anderson at MassRobotics shares.. Colleen is responsible for building the community together and putting on events to make more connections. Their biggest event is coming up September 27th…The Robot Block Party in the Seaport. There will be tons of robots, interactive exhibits, and a robot parade! Be there!! 👀 What startups should we be watching? 👀 1.) Luminous Robotics recently was awarded a huge contract with the Australian government. 2.) Cleo Robotics just announced their new DD1 drone. Two exciting announcements (and startups) to share! The summer tour continues with MGMT Boston. Thanks to Rho and Will Panarello for supporting this series!
