Figma Wireframes Are Dead. Here's How Product Teams Are Replacing Them
What does it actually look like to take a user flow, build a functional prototype in Claude Code, iterate on the UX, and end up with something a real customer can click through, all without touching Figma once?

You've seen the wireframing demos. But what does it actually look like to take a user flow, build a functional prototype in Claude Code, iterate on the UX, and end up with something a real customer can click through.
In this video, I walk you through the entire wireframe-to-prototype workflow from scratch. We take a real onboarding flow for cal.com, build a clickable prototype using Claude Code, connect it with Figma MCP, and validate the UX before ever going hi-fi.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
• Why wireframing in Figma is slowing your team down
• Using Claude Code's plan mode before writing a single line of code
• Prompting Claude Code to build a functional prototype from a user flow
• Connecting Figma MCP to go between design and code seamlessly
• How product teams can validate UX in minutes, not weeks
