What you'll learn

Why 70% of AI Products Fail — and How to Avoid It

Learn why AI features flop (hint: it’s not the model) & how our AI Hypothesis Framework flips the script.

How to Validate AI Feasibility Without Writing Code

Align user pain, data, and model capability with our validation method—before touching any code.

Case Study: Adding AI to the Apple Watch

Learn to design an AI hypothesis from scratch with a real-world scenario—and why most teams get it wrong.

Why this topic matters

Most AI features fail because they skip the “AI hypothesis.” Learn a simple way to align user pain, data availability, and model capability into a usable hypothesis to avoid building AI for AI’s sake.

I am Dr. Nancy Li, an award-winning AI Director of Product, LinkedIn TopVoice, and YouTuber with 100K+ tech followers on all social channels, featured on Forbes. 


I am a believer in infinite opportunities and the founder of the Product Manager Accelerator (PMA). I created AI PM Bootcamp to help people become the next AI Product Leaders and impact millions of people’s lives.


Rewind nearly a decade back, and I moved to the US with $800 in my pocket with all the motivation in the world, seeking long-term success and fulfillment. I became the youngest engineering PhD. from Boston University and a Director of Product in just FOUR years. I was frequently the youngest & the only woman in executive meetings, and always had the desire to build my own empire and manage my own team.


I had the ideas, vision, and passion, but I didn’t have the tools. Today, I stand before you as one of the leaders of innovation in the world of AI products, and the best part? I can’t write a line of code.


I led a team of 20 people to launch an AI Smart Cities product using machine vision to reduce car crashes which received Mayor's Best Practice Award in 2016 (away before AI was hot :) The product led to a $200 Million Public Private Parternship deal and was invited to present at the NVIDIA GCP Conference.


How did I get here? By studying the industry through a macro lens and developing a robust set of tools that allowed me to streamline the AI product-creation process and bring my ideas to life.


It sounds simple enough, but it took me years to develop a system that I can pass on to my 1,500+ students and a network of insider connections that enables me to reveal these strategies to you.


Here are some popular video training and blog posts loved by my 100,000+ tech followers.



She is a proud creator of two Maven courses:


In my personal time, I run PMA Kids, a nonprofit that provides free AI product management education to teenagers from underserved communities. I’m also a busy mom of two little ones.
