Episode 15: A Bathrobed Keynote, How to use AI to Make Tech Products, Leaving Google, and The Devil Wears Prada Meets Silicon Valley
In episode 15 of JEN_AI, Jenni Munroe (formerly Google/DeepMind) recounts giving a main-stage keynote at Future Product Days in Copenhagen wearing a bathrobe and dog slippers while demoing how AI tools can help anyone create a product, using a makeup/wardrobe “makeover” app and an onstage outfit transformation with audience volunteers.
She shares a three-step framework - define the problem with Gemini Deep Research, build a prototype in Google AI Studio, and create a promo video with Flow or Google Vids - plus tips.
She reflects on the talk, leaving Google, and revisting 'The Devil Wears Prada' after 20 years in honor of the upcoming sequel. She describes a failed attempt to get Gemini to reproduce the Devil Wears Prada “blue sweater” speech, notes Allbirds’ surprise pivot to “Bird AI” cloud GPUs, and shares a themed soundtrack.
