Not a to-do list or a grocery list.
Use AI throughout the process.
Share what I learn.

Most of us who product managers are about to lose touch with our users.
AI is changing how products get built. So Iβm doing something slightly uncomfortable to understand it.
Iβm building a product, myself.
@WavefrontHQ@joshelman My goal is simple: Understand where AI actually helps and where it doesn't.
Where it speeds things up and where it introduces new problems.
Where you still get stuck and how to get unstuck.
And boy did I burn tokens like they grew on trees.

@cool_idea Totally. This is a great example. Thanks for sharing, @cool_idea
What's interesting about this one is that they started with a broader use case/target audience and then narrowed it down to a niche.
