Klarna CEO Uses AI to Speed Up Product Development
Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, is using AI tools to make new product ideas faster.
He uses 'vibe coding' with AI tools like Cursor to build quick prototypes in around 20 minutes.
This helps him try out ideas without taking up a lot of his engineers' time.
Even though AI helps with customer questions, Klarna will still have humans available for customer support, possibly as a premium feature.
