good one. the edge case prompt is solid

Wild how the AI era made "judgment" and "taste" the scarcest resources in product.
AI can write specs. AI can generate prototypes.
AI can't decide which problem is worth solving, and it does not know which ones people will actually care about
#ProductManagement #AI
Best use of AI for PRD writing
Ask AI: "What edge cases am I missing?"
It's the fastest way to find the holes in your logic
#ProductManagement #AI
AI can execute.
The only thing it can't do is care about the right problem.
That's the PM job now.

Old moat: proprietary code no one else has
New moat: proprietary customer understanding, no model can replicate
AI can clone your features overnight.
It can't clone two years of intimate knowledge of your customers' workflows.

Your product strategy is only as strong as your weakest assumption.
Before your next roadmap review, list every assumption it depends on.
Then ask: which ones would kill this strategy if they're wrong?
Start there.
#ProductManagement
The PRD was always a translation layer.
AI just gave us a way to skip it. Are you writing PRDs or creating prototypes and evals
#ProductManagement #AI
How to run discovery that actually works:
1️⃣ Kill weak ideas first, don't seek consensus
2️⃣ Ask "what do we need to learn?" not "which idea do we build?"
3️⃣ Test assumptions with cheap, fast methods
4️⃣ Present learning, not plans
Progress = learning, not shipping.
PMs who get the most from AI don't prompt better. They prepare better.
Build a "context document"
Who I am - Role, background, working style
What I'm working on - current projects, goals, context
How I want you to help - output expectations, tone, what good looks like
#AI
Founders building today should design their pricing from the ground up around outcomes and usage, not seats.
AI is enabling PMs to prototype, build small products, automate workflows, etc
What are you automating?
#ProductManagement #AI
Where in your work has long familiarity quietly replaced genuine understanding?
#ProductManagement
Product moat used to be: "we built this better than anyone"
Now it's: "we understand our customers better than anyone"
AI commoditized execution. It can't commoditize deep customer knowledge.
Build that moat instead.
#ProductManagement #AI
The best MCP strategy isn't "expose everything."
It's "solve one workflow perfectly."
Build around customer use cases, not what you thought they'd want.
#ProductManagement #AI
Discovery shouldn’t be about "Which idea should we build?" It needs to be about "What do we need to learn next?"
The shift isn't about having better ideas.
It's about being honest about what you don't know yet.
#ProductManagement
Suspend what you expect to find before you analyze user feedback, or you'll only confirm what you already believe.
Every software product in 2026 should have an explicit answer to the question: "What happens to your product's value when AI can do [core workflow] autonomously?"
#ProductManagement
The quality of your thinking is not a function of whether anyone uses it
PMs learning to code in the AI era feels empowering.
But is your scarcest resource your ability to ship, or your ability to think?
Opportunity cost cuts both ways.
How are you balancing it?
#ProductManagement #AI
Context in AI is Goldilocks' porridge.
Too much, it drowns in noise.
Too little, it misses the mark.
The skill isn't what you ask, it's how much you frame around it.
#AI
There is also a new category.
X for agents.
Like social platform for agents, wallet for agents..etc
I'm so tired of AI everything. The costs to the business are so high. 😭
Product Managers shouldn't wear glasses
Why?
It means they don't trust their own vision
(from Reddit)
Storytelling framework for any PM presentation:
Context → Problem → Impact → Options → Decision
Control what question your audience asks next. That's the whole game.
#ProductManagement
Why does everything in product take longer than it should?
It's not the building.
It's the thinking, aligning, and deciding.
The invisible work before the work is where all the time goes.
#ProductManagement
Your company doesn't need an "AI strategy."
It needs a business strategy that happens to use AI where it makes sense.
The difference is everything.
#ProductManagement #AI
This is painfully accurate. Every PM thinks their product knowledge lives in docs. Then you plug in AI and discover it lives in Slack DMs from 2023, a Notion page nobody updated, and three people's heads. AI is the world's most expensive audit.
Old way: discovery is a phase before development
New way: discovery is a continuous feed alongside development
If you stop listening to users when coding starts, you're building on assumptions.
#ProductManagement
Old feedback analysis: read everything, tag manually, hope for patterns
New: AI clusters signals from different channels, and you validate the patterns
The synthesis is automated. The judgment is still yours.
#ProductManagement #AI
The value of a PRD isn't the document.
It's the thinking that went into creating it.
AI can draft your PRD in minutes. It can't do the strategic thinking that makes it worth reading.
