AI, Built On Paper · for teams

Your designers hand AI and engineering a plan they can build.

A hands-on session for design, product and engineering teams. Everyone works from one plan, tested on paper first, so AI tools and your engineers build what the team actually decided.

The problem

AI made building fast. It didn't make deciding easier.

1

AI builds whatever it's told.

Give it a vague idea and it fills the gaps with guesses. The team spends weeks fixing work nobody asked for.

2

Plans get lost between departments.

Design sketches one thing, product writes another, engineering builds a third. Every handoff loses a little of what you meant.

3

The fix is one shared plan, tested on paper first.

Your team sketches it, watches real people try it, then writes the plan AI and engineering build from. Cheap to change, clear to everyone.

What your team leaves with

Something real, not a slide deck.

  • A tested designEvery screen on paper, tried by people who'd never seen it, and fixed where it broke.
  • The four plan documentsVision, rules, backlog and parking lot, in plain English, ready for AI tools and your engineers.
  • A first part builtOne piece working, built from the plan, so the team has seen the whole loop end to end.

The half-day workshop covers the tested design and gets the plan started. The virtual team track and Build cohort seats carry it through the four documents and a first part built.

Subject: Learning budget request: AI, Built On Paper

Hi [Manager's name],

I'd like to use my learning budget for AI, Built On Paper. It's a hands-on course on planning a product on paper, testing it with real people, and turning it into a plan an AI tool can build from.

Why it matters for our team: [one line, for example: we're building with AI tools now, and I want us shipping what we decided, not what the AI guessed].

The options: the self-paced course is $397, or the live path is Sketch to Ship ($99) plus the Build cohort ($897). Details are at aneilrazvi.com/build.

Can we approve one seat?

Thanks,
[Your name]

Subject: A team session idea: AI, Built On Paper

Hi [Name],

Our design, product and engineering folks keep losing the plan between handoffs, and AI tools only make that faster. I found a hands-on session that fixes it: AI, Built On Paper, led by Aneil Razvi.

The team sketches one idea on paper, tests it with real people, and leaves with a shared plan that AI and engineering can build from. It runs as a half-day workshop, in person in Dallas-Fort Worth or online, for up to 20 people. The one-pager is attached.

Would you be open to a 15-minute call with Aneil to see if it fits? He books at cal.com/aneil-razvi/intro.

Thanks,
