Turn any idea into a working prototype — with the spec to prove it.
Five free resources to help you build with AI the way Amazon builds products: start with the customer, work backwards, ship the thing.
A prototype that works is worth more than a specification that doesn't.
Amazon has operated for 25 years on a simple rule: start with the customer and work backwards. AI-native tools like Kiro compress that cycle from months to hours — but only if you know the discipline underneath. These five resources teach you both.
Five resources. One activation path.
