This week’s episode is with Joel Lewenstein who is the Head of Product Design at Anthropic where he works on cutting edge AI products like Claude. After 80+ episodes, I can honestly say this one’s “juice per minute” score is off the charts.

Some of my favorite highlights:

How the team prototyped Claude Artifacts
New mental models for designing AI products
The way designers shape strategy at Anthropic
How to master the dark art of prompting as a designer
The future of language as the dominant interface for AI
