A routine pharmacy visit with my family turned into a product idea.
The self-service kiosk greeted us with fingerprints from who-knows-how-many hands — I pulled my kid back before he could touch it. My wife tried checking in, but the touchscreen had a mind of its own. The only option left? Share your personal info out at the counter with the pharmacist, with a stranger two feet away pretending not to listen.
Two problems. One moment. Hygiene and privacy.
The fix
An AI-powered voice check-in on your phone. Talk to AI on the drive to the pharmacy — verify your identity privately and securely. Walk in, skip the kiosk, and pick up your Rx. Done.
The mindset shift
I went from a real-world observation to a working prototype in a few hours — using Claude as my AI co-pilot. No 30-page PRD. No waiting for a sprint cycle. Just: spot the problem, prototype it, and bring something tangible to the conversation.
The faster you can make the invisible visible, the faster you earn stakeholder trust and move decisions forward.

AI doesn't replace product thinking. It compresses the distance between "I have an idea" and "Let me show you."
