What you’ll learn

The #1 AI PM Course, everything under the hood of AI products — models, evals, APIs, ranking, agents — taught for PMs, proven with a launch

  • How modern LLMs work at the level PMs need: training, context, sampling, and why outputs vary.

  • Failure modes in the wild: hallucination, brittleness, prompt sensitivity, cost blowups — and how to anticipate each.

  • When NOT to use AI: a decision framework for choosing traditional ML, heuristics, or nothing at all.

  • Turn fuzzy product goals into measurable success criteria: golden sets, error taxonomies, and a PM-friendly metrics menu (capability, safety

  • Set ship/no-ship thresholds you can defend to leadership — and know when to stop tweaking prompts and when to pause a launch.

  • Build eval workflows real teams can maintain: human review where it matters, automation where it lasts, and the minimum viable monitoring po

  • Work directly with the Claude, Gemini & OpenAI APIs: function calling, structured outputs, streaming, context management.

  • Understand MCP and tool use — how AI products connect to real data and systems.

  • Prototype with production patterns, so what you build translates to what engineering ships.

  • Recommendations & matching: how ranking, retrieval, and personalization actually work — and which levers PMs own.

  • AI platforms, APIs & agentic experiences: what changes when your product is a platform other teams build on, or an agent acting on a user's

  • Architecture trade-offs across all of them: latency vs. quality vs. cost, model routing, RAG vs. fine-tuning — captured in technical PRDs en

  • Guardrails, safety testing, and responsible AI frameworks — the job, not an afterthought.

  • Model monitoring, drift, and post-launch iteration: what changes after v1 ships.

  • Governance, bias, and regulatory context every AI PM is now accountable for.

  • Capstone: ship a real AI product with a working eval suite — supported by a dedicated engineer so it actually launches.

  • Present your product, eval results, and design choices at the Product Review, with live feedback from engineers at top AI companies.

  • Executive sessions with Deb Liu on leading AI product orgs, plus interview frameworks for senior AI PM roles.
