Become the AI Product Leader Your Company Needs by Building a Real AI Product

Gabor Mayer

Product Manager@Google, Product Builder

Certifications don’t move careers. Shipped products do

The tech industry isn't just changing. It's reorganizing around AI.

Companies are rewriting roadmaps around AI features and promoting leaders who understand what it takes to build, ship, and scale AI products.

Because AI products are different. The economics are different. The rollout strategy is different.

Most senior product leaders know this gap exists. Few have closed it.

You can talk about AI strategy. But have you built an AI product end-to-end?

That gap, between AI awareness and AI fluency, is what separates the leaders who get handed AI opportunities from the ones who watch from the sidelines.

Certifications don't close it. Frameworks don't close it. Only first-hand learning by experiencing building something real does.

In 6 weeks, this programme puts you in the builder's seat. You'll experience the full AI product build cycle first-hand. The strategic decisions, the economic trade-offs, the organizational complexity. You'll finish with a shipped AI product and the fluency to lead AI strategy at your company.

Not a prototype. Not a certificate. A real AI product, live in the App Store/Google Play (or TestFlight/Internal Test deployed version if you want to keep it under wraps).

What you’ll learn

Stop theorizing about AI products. Build one — and lead with the credibility that only hands-on experience creates.

  • Build with the same stack used by AI product teams today: Claude Code, Flutter, and Firebase.

  • Submit to the App Store or Google Play and leave with a shipped AI product you can show your leadership team.

  • Navigate the build with a step-by-step companion app, milestone checklists, and engineering support so you stay focused on learning, not set

  • Gain the one thing that separates AI product leaders from everyone else: firsthand experience building a real AI product.

  • Spot the most common AI build traps before they become your team's most expensive mistakes.

  • Understand prompting strategy deeply enough to lead and educate your team on building reliable, production-quality AI product features.

  • Learn how AI agents behave on users' behalf so you can lead your team in designing features and flows that actually work.

  • Apply an AI-native product design thinking your team doesn't have yet, and bring it back to every roadmap conversation.

  • Learn to write product specs precise enough for AI to generate production-quality code, and teach your team to do the same.

  • Lead your team to design user flows and screen architecture upfront, the way highly-productive AI product teams work.

  • Leave with a complete PRD and prompting strategy for your shipped app, ready to replicate across your team's AI initiatives.

Who this course is for

  • A senior product leader who understands AI strategy but hasn't built an AI product themselves yet, and feels that gap growing.

  • A product leader preparing for their next senior or executive role who wants a shipped AI product as an undeniable proof point.

  • A senior product leader who wants to become the AI voice in their org. The person leadership turns to when AI strategy is on the table.

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with software products

    You don't need to code, but you should understand how software is built to make product decisions and lead an virtual "team" with confidence

  • Have a laptop (<4 years old) and a mobile phone (<4 years old)

    If your tech is too old, some steps may take significantly longer

  • Expect additional software licence fees

    In addition to the course's price there will be software license fees between $120-$250. (This goes back to near $0 once your app is built.)
