AI can help product and development teammates move faster while keeping decisions in human hands. Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) describes a side project in which he handled the product and design perspective while his co-founder covered the technical side using Claude Code, an AI tool that helps developers work with code.
How the workflow unfolded
The pair wrote down the product idea, compared it with alternatives, and prepared a product research document. They chose a name and bought a domain. Abdul then created a design system—a set of reusable interface elements and rules for consistency—using something he calls Claude Design. The tool’s exact name needs confirmation.
He exported the design system and the written content explaining the idea, then handed them to his co-founder. In a later working session, the co-founder shared his screen in Cursor, a code editor with AI features. They answered Claude Code’s questions and made decisions together.

We answer Claude Code’s questions together. — Abdul Osama
In numbers
- Abdul says a portion of the work that might previously have taken weeks was completed in two sessions.
- He estimates about two to three hours per session. These figures describe his team’s experience with that portion of the project, not a guaranteed timeline.
What should a team do next?
The lesson is not to leave AI to make the decisions. Abdul encourages teams to stay open to new ways of collaborating: prepare clear inputs, bring product and technical perspectives into the same working session, and decide together how to proceed.
