Note: This post uses Midjourney V4. Some of the design and upscaling options have changed for V5.

Instead of spending thousands to prototype a new product, you can use AI tools to design, market, and test new ideas in a matter of minutes, for the cost of a latte.

Take the image above: the photos, title, and description were all created using AI. Let’s take a closer look at how it was done.

To follow along, you'll need access to:

  • Midjourney

  • ChatGPT

  • remove.bg (optional)

  • Canva (optional)

Huge thanks to reader Katrina McKinnon, content writer and founder of CopySmiths for the inspiration for this post!
