AI-Native Product Management Certification: Run the Product Lifecycle with AI

Learn to work as an AI-native PM: run the full AI product lifecycle with AI & ship a real product in 4 weeks.

🏆 Maven's #1 AI PM credential — since 2022, also taught at Harvard. Built by Dr. Marily Nika (Google, ex-Meta, PhD in ML, 20,000+ students).

What you'll do: execute every stage of the AI product lifecycle — ideation, PRDs, prototyping, evals, launch — using AI, live, on your own product. Ship in days what took quarters.

🛠 Tools: Claude Code · Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini · Perplexity · NotebookLM · n8n · Lovable/v0 — mapped stage-by-stage, so you know which tool does which job (and which are hype).

🧑‍💻 Support: 5h of 1:1 engineer time per student, mentor feedback, dedicated capstone & community managers.

🚀 Capstone: launch a real product & pitch VCs at our Demo Slam. Certification included.

What you’ll learn

The #1 AI PM certification, rebuilt for the AI-native era: master the AI product development lifecycle & execute every stage with AI

  • Learn every stage of the AI lifecycle — from opportunity discovery to launch — and how decisions flow between them.

  • Use a decision framework to judge where AI genuinely belongs in a roadmap (and where it's theater).

  • Apply the full lifecycle to a real product example before running it yourself.

  • Turn Perplexity and NotebookLM into your research team: market scans, competitor teardowns, and user-insight synthesis in hours, not weeks.

  • Generate and stress-test product ideas with structured AI ideation workflows.

  • Score opportunities with an AI-assisted prioritization framework you'll reuse forever.

  • Draft, critique, and iterate PRDs with AI — using templates refined across 20,000+ students.

  • Build your own reusable prompt library and skills so every future doc starts at 80% done.

  • Learn the review workflow: how to use AI as a red-team on your own thinking, not just a typist.

  • Go from PRD to working prototype with Claude Code and Lovable/v0 — no coding background needed.

  • Connect your prototype to real data and tools so it demos like a product, not a mockup.

  • Know the handoff line: what PMs should build themselves vs. bring to engineering.

  • Understand the metrics that matter for AI products and when to use each.

  • Run your first evals — define success criteria, catch failure modes, and defend quality in a roadmap review.

  • Use technical checklists to pressure-test model behavior, data needs, and edge cases.

  • Take one real product idea through the entire AI-native lifecycle — research → PRD → prototype → eval → launch.

  • Pitch your product live to a panel of VCs at Demo Slam, with pitch-craft coaching beforehand.

  • Leave with a launched product, the AI-Native PM Certification, and interview frameworks for AI PM roles

Who this course is for

  • Aspiring AI PMs, eng & data scientists who want a portfolio capstone that proves they can run the AI product development lifecycle e2e

  • Founders & operators who want to take a product from idea to MVP themselves — research, spec, build, and eval — without waiting on a team.

  • This course increased my confidence that I have the basic skills needed to succeed as an AI PM, and gave me a better awareness of what I DON'T know and need to focus on learning more about

  • I wish I found this course earlier. There is so much content on breaking into AI PM & it will only confuse you. I spent hours searching & learning what a true Technical PM does and Marily did an AMAZING job of teaching with cases & real examples what AI PMs do at FAANG.
