Episode notes
The Questionnaire Thinks Like A Product Manager
- Claude Design's questionnaire acts like a product manager by inferring senior-friendly needs from a thin brief.
- It suggested large text, high contrast, voice narration, simplified mode, caregiver visibility, and specific exercise types without much prompting.

- Greg Isenberg generated three mobile wireframe directions for Senior Brains and saw agency-style concepting without spending extra effort.
- The options were Warm Stack, mascot-led chat, and calendar habit-first; chat voters picked A before he pushed it to hi-fi.

- He refreshed, retried, checked debug info, and kept the errors in to show how Claude Design actually behaves live.
