I took 10+ hours of AI courses so you don’t have to.
Starting a new series: AI for Product Managers Demystified.
#1: Evaluations. What evals mean in practice, and who owns what between product and engineering.

The interface can focus on the task, the result and the controls needed to check it. Some work may happen elsewhere altogether. Linear reports that agents and MCP clients now create nearly half of its issues.
AI can make parts of an existing roadmap less relevant. Intercom’s Fin feeds itself from the knowledge base automatically and makes scripting chatbot responses via a workflow irrelevant.
Custom reporting is another example. We explored it during my time at Bonsai, when tools like Explo helped products offer reports to users. Today, assistants can query connected data through MCP. Claude Dashboards can turn that data into reports that stay current.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 #1: 𝐀𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐔𝐈𝐬?
As I approach 11 years in product management, including 4 working with AI, I’ve been reflecting on how AI changes product strategy.
Reading Anthropic’s AI-native SDLC playbook got me thinking: AI is dramatically shortening the "build" phase, but "plan" and "design" haven’t necessarily caught up.
So I’ve been building Signals!
In this example, Signals works with publicly available feedback about PostHog as a first guinea pig. It can also connect to private feedback through MCP: Intercom conversations, Slack discussions, Typeform responses, and other sources your team already uses.
GPT-6 Astra from @OpenAI demo got my 12-year-old gamer self curious.
One fun weekend project later: boat football in Lisbon, with a pastel de nata as the ball 😂
@unity MCP for the game, @suno for music. Surprisingly few tokens, lots of fun.
