TL;DR. New Claude Code plugin "playground" spins up interactive HTML files so you can visualize, tweak, and iterate with Claude in ways text chat can't.

Takeaways

• Install via /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official then /plugin install playground@claude-plugins-official.
• Best for visual/spatial tasks: architecture diagrams, UI layout tweaks, game balancing, inline writing critique.
• Output loop: playground generates a prompt you paste back into Claude Code, closing the visual-to-text feedback gap.

TL;DR. Demo your product as a 5-part story — pain, dream, bridge, proof, next steps — not a feature tour.

Takeaways

• Frame every demo around the customer's current pain and the future state they want, then position your product as the bridge between them.
• Back the narrative with real customer proof and close with explicit next steps — features without context don't stick.
• Stories drive ~2x better retention than feature walkthroughs.

TL;DR. In the Granola video, structure isn't decoration — it's the message itself.

Takeaways

• Timing and cuts are deliberate, not stylistic flourishes — every element reinforces one core message.
• "Structure beats effects, because structure IS the message" — form carries meaning, not just polish.
