Product Management in the Age of AI: Master It or Get Left Behind

Episode notes

Product management is the connective tissue between company strategy, customer insight, engineering, and go-to-market. From early-stage startups trying to find product-market fit to scaling enterprises managing complex portfolios, the PM is the role most responsible for ensuring the right things get built for the right reasons and are brought to market effectively. But the role is being disrupted. AI is accelerating engineering velocity, adding pressure for PMs to move faster on customer research and discovery, and creating new expectations from boards, investors, and leadership about how product teams should operate. The PM's job hasn't gotten smaller, but it's getting more complex and urgent. In this episode, Rob sits down with Chris Mann, Founder of GrokAI and a seasoned product leader with experience at LinkedIn, 1Password, You.com , and Bizo, to discuss why product managers must embrace and innovate with AI every day, and figure out how to smartly apply it when aligning product strategy with company objectives, driving inbound research and customer discovery, and working cross-functionally with engineering, sales, and marketing to activate and launch.
