Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year. It’s time to be kind to each other and enjoy the love around.

Although I’m not Santa Claus, I still want to do something nice for you before the year ends. I’m running a Christmas campaign valid until 31st of December, you will get 30% off for my Product Discovery Done Right with AI Cohort.

Claim Your Offer

When I look towards 2025, I have a few thoughts, which I guess you have them, too.

AI isn't coming. AI is here to stay and transform how we work.
Yet, that's not the only thing.

PMs missing business understanding will be left behind.
Many PMs fall prey to backlog management and miss 80%+ of the work.

2025 will require:

  • Solid business acumen

  • AI as your co-pilot while you act as an intelligent driver

  • Ruthless prioritization because everything wants your attention

  • Strong storytelling

  • Inspiring leadership

Those in possession of the above will have a bright 2025.
Those who lack them can always learn a new skill. However, doing so may require unlearning some old ones.

Being a PM is hard because everybody wants you to be a backlog manager.
Yet, that's not what you want. AI is your friend to help you out.

Are you using AI to break free from building features nobody needs?

If not, you're missing out. Here 5 simple ways to benefit right now :)

AI Prompts to Save You 100's of Hours

1. Customer Interviews

Get AI to prepare you for insightful interviews:

  • Define your context

  • Use AI to design a helpful customer interview for you

  • Provide guidance, and save plenty of time :)

2. Solution Ideation

  • Write down your problem statement

  • Get AI to give you 10 potential solutions

  • Then, use AI to refine and keep 5 top ones

  • AI can broaden your perspectives in seconds

3. Transform Data Into Insights

How long does it take for you to transform data into insights?

AI can do that in seconds, which is surprisingly good :)

  • Data alone means nothing

  • Transforming data into insights is the magic

  • Use AI to accelerate that for you

4. Identify Assumptions

Untested assumptions are the mother of f*ck-ups.

You've got to identify and deal with the critical ones.

  • With AI, you can quickly name what you believe to happen but lack evidence

  • You can craft powerful prompts, resulting in testable assumptions

  • AI can accelerate how you uncover multiple assumptions: desirability, feasibility, and viability

5. Write Product Experiments

The faster you learn, the sooner you succeed.

  • Product experiments don't need to take weeks

  • AI can help you uncover multiple experiments

  • You can start in hours and scale up as you gain evidence

  • Beyond that, AI can give you guidance on how to run your experiments
