5 AI prompts to level-up product strategy, executive presence, and execution speed

If you’re not using AI, you’re making work 10x harder than it needs to be.

Here are 5 ways I use AI to level-up product strategy, executive presence, and execution speed.

1. Build prototypes to get buy-in faster — without writing code

📌 What I do: I use Vercel, Replit agent, and Cursor to quickly generate interactive prototypes of my ideas.

💡 Why it’s important: Instead of spending hours explaining an abstract idea, I can show, not tell—making it easier to get buy-in from leadership and cross-functional teammates.

⚡ How to do it: Use Vercel, Replit agent, and Cursor to build and deploy your prototype in minutes! Just describe your idea using natural language, and it’ll generate the code for you — no coding experience required.

2. Strengthen strategy docs by proactively addressing executive pushback

📌 What I do: Before presenting a new product strategy, I ask AI to identify weak spots and counterarguments.

💡 Why it’s important: Helps me refine my messaging and get sign-off faster (because I avoid rounds of feedback and follow-up).

⚡ How to do it: I use this prompt:

I need help strengthening my product vision/strategy document by anticipating potential executive concerns.

STEP 1: Please analyze my document through these leadership lenses:

• Business impact: Revenue, costs, ROI

• Market & competition: Market size, competitive advantage

• Feasibility: Team capacity, technical constraints

• Risk management: Potential failures, mitigation strategies

3. Overcome writer’s block

📌 What I do: When I have vague ideas, but they’re stuck in my head and I don’t know how to articulate them, I use AI to guide my thinking and refine my ideas. I use this for strategy docs, performance reviews, team announcements, feedback for peers, product demos for executives, and so much more.

💡 Why it’s important: I can intelligently transform the raw, unfiltered, unpolished content in my head into an organized and cohesive document. AI helps me stay “in the flow” of my brainstorming by asking smart follow-up questions that uncover angles I hadn’t considered.

⚡ How to do it: I use this prompt:

Act like a thoughtful brainstorming partner. My goal is <goal>.

Step 1: Read this <brain dump>.

Step 2: Generate a draft based on the brain dump.

Step 3: Give me 3 questions I can pick from that guide me to provide more raw content. Focus on areas I haven’t fully explored, and draw connections between different ideas I shared.

Question types to use:

1. Expansion questions: "How might [concept] apply to..."

2. Context questions: "What factors influenced..."

3. Impact questions: "How would this affect..."

4. Alternative angles: "Have you considered this from [different perspective]..."

5. Future implications: "How might this evolve..."

5. Refine anything

📌 What I do: I use AI to refine newsletters, emails, messages to the team, updates to leadership, etc.

💡 Why it’s important: Leaders and teammates are busy and bombarded with time-consuming requests. The more quickly you get your point across, the more quickly you see the results you want.

⚡ How to do it: I use this prompt:

My goal is <goal>. Give me 5 ways to rephrase <this> to make it more clear, concise, and persuasive.
