What you'll learn
Tell Whether a Problem Deserves AI
Use five questions (problem, simpler solution, error tolerance, data, and fallback) to screen any AI idea in minutes.
Spot the Idea That Needs a Simpler Fix
See why rules, search, or better design often beat AI, and how to say so without ending the conversation.
Make the Call and Defend It
Turn your screen into a call to build it, test it first, or skip it, with reasons your team can act on.
Why this topic matters
Almost every PM has been asked "Can we add AI to this?", and most teams answer with excitement. The cost shows up later: features nobody uses, wrong answers that cost us customer trust, and months spent on what a simple fix could have solved. In this session I will walk you through five questions to ask before anything gets built. We will run a real idea through them together, and you can use the same questions in your next planning meeting.
