What you'll learn

Stop using AI-generated PRDs! Start using deep research.

Use deep research to do product and feature discovery in unexpected industries and beyond your vertical. Get *inspired*.

Enough w/ AI simulated personas! Yes to systemic AI evals.

AI simulating users is so 2022. Use advanced AI forecasting to ideate, refine, and compare features + flows.

No more AI PM copilots! But create a personal context repo.

I will teach you how to take the inspo and ideas you run into daily --> reusable prompting methods for AGI-like AI.

Why this topic matters

Most AI products for product managers are making it easy to build PRDs, simulate user personas, or manage tickets. But a great product management (or founder) career is built on one thing: taste. I'll teach you how to build product taste at scale to expand your discovery work, get you *actually good* results in your execution, and next-level on strategy.
