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.

Testimonials
- 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
Elissa H.
Product Operations Manager - 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.
Priyanka P.
AI Product Manager - The cohort experience was amazing. I also love the way Marily presented the course.
Konstantinos B.
Machine Learning Engineer - Excellent course. Met some great people, learned a lot, created a product outline I'm super proud of.
Ross B.
Head of Products - Marily is generously sharing new technical resources in the AI PM world so I will continue to learn how to look at data in an analytical eyes. She also shared real time feedback and I very much appreciate that.
