What this section covers
AI can write your code. It still cannot tell you what to build or who should care. This section covers the product and design fundamentals that decide whether an AI-powered tool actually gets used — from MVP scoping and product-requirement writing to visual design, UX patterns, and accessibility work. You'll find reference pages on product strategy for AI-built products, iteration loops, structured user-feedback gathering, and integration-details thinking for when your product has to plug into other tools. The visual-design and UX-design pages cover the craft that turns an ugly demo into something people recommend, and the accessibility page exists because "works for everyone" is both a legal requirement and a quality standard. It's aimed at developers who want to spend their saved hours on real product decisions — not on guessing what the user meant. Pair with Frontend when building and Marketing & SEO when positioning the result.
