In this interview, Lenny interviews Mike Krieger, CPO of Anthropic and co-founder of Instagram, about the transformative impact of AI on product development and strategy. They discuss how AI, particularly Claude, is being used to write code, assist in product strategy, and redefine the roles within product teams. Krieger shares insights on the bottlenecks that emerge when AI writes a significant portion of the code, the skills future generations should focus on, and Anthropic's approach to competing with other AI companies by focusing on its strengths and values. The conversation also touches on the reasons behind shutting down Artifact, prompting techniques for AI, and the future role of MCP in product development.
