About this listen
Product managers and product owners are drowning in documentation, vision statements, roadmaps, and backlogs. But what if AI could handle the heavy lifting, freeing you up to actually talk to customers?
In this episode, Dave and Peter explore how large language models are changing product management. They go beyond the obvious use cases (like generating user stories) to discuss upstream opportunities: building product strategy, validating market positioning, and testing ideas against competitors.
You'll learn:
- Why documenting your product strategy matters (and why most PMs skip it)
- How to prompt AI to be critical, not just complimentary
- The danger of accepting AI outputs without evaluation
- Temperature settings, context windows, and other practical techniques
- What to do with the time you get back (hint: talk to real customers)
Dave and Peter also share a key practice: write down what you expect before you prompt. This simple step helps you critically evaluate AI responses instead of accepting them at face value.
If you're a product manager, product owner, or anyone building digital products, this conversation will help you use AI as a tool for better thinking, not just faster output.
