#58 Why should founders treat AI like a teammate? | Claire Vo, Founder of ChatPRD.ai

In this episode of The Founder's Foyers Podcast, Claire joins us to talk about building with AI, vibe coding, and the future of product creation.

We cover everything from AI tools that speed up coding to why product fundamentals never change. Claire shares how solo founders, startups, and even large organisations can use AI to move faster and why ignoring AI could make you unemployable in just a couple of years.

Highlights include:

1. What vibe coding really means for non-technical builders

2. Why AI-powered tools are changing how products are made

3. How leaders can push teams to adopt AI without fear

4. Claire’s take on employability in the next 24 months

5. Building in public, product intuition, and speed over perfection

6. Why “fast beats right” — and how AI makes fast easier

This episode is full of practical insights, founder lessons, and future-facing advice for anyone building in tech today.
