AI-first PM: Evals, Vibe Coding and Agentic Workflows with Claude Code

Vladimir Kalmykov

Lead PM @ Booking.com, PhD CS

Andrew Mende

Sr. PM ML @ Booking.com, MBA

Learn by doing in a simulated start-up experience. From acting Lead PMs.

Why invest in learning with us?

  • We’re Lead PMs at Booking.com, each with 10+ years of product experience

  • We have a rule: we teach only what we actually use in our day-to-day product work, with a strong focus on practice over theory

  • More than 14,000 students have already learned through our hands-on, “learn by doing” approach in ProductDo.io Simulators

Modern AI-first PM:

  • Use AI agents (e.g. Claude Code) to accelerate the routine (sprints, analytics, PRDs, etc)

  • Can easily vibecode a UI feature, and then connect it to real APIs

  • Can set robust AI Evals to judge the quality of LLM features in their product

  • Knows the basics of Tech (APIs, services, tools, MCPs) to confidently lead their tech team

What makes this course different?

The course is 80% hands-on because that’s how real skills stick. Don't be scared - you are a hand-held all the way. We simulated a startup for you with:

  • real Jira backlog that you analyze with Claude

  • real codebase on top of which you vibecode new features

  • real customer support chats that you need to build evals for

  • and more

You're the main character - a PM who solves product tasks. Check out the Free Resource on Evals below to get the feel of the flow.

What you’ll learn

AI first PM: Tech 101, Claude mastery, AI agents, Vibecoding and Evals.

  • Master core concepts of tech: services, APIs, architecture, databases, MCP, tools

  • Learn what a PM's job is and what you should leave to your devs

  • Understand the basis on which all AI is built, recognize hype and vibe code with confidence

  • Speed yourself up by analyzing sprints, cleaning backlog, and querying databases using AI agent like Claude

  • Create your own Claude skills and vibe code new features on top of the existing product

  • Build your own AI agent that will autonomously listen to your Gmail and collect updates on the projects you lead

  • Start noticing where LLMs can enhance your product (e.g. text processing, support chat, etc)

  • Learn how to build robust evaluations (evals) to make LLMs produce quality results instead of hallucinations

  • Practice building LLM judges for tasks that don't have deterministic answers (e.g. chat responses)

  • Turn ideas into prototypes in minutes

  • Create full-stack apps (UI + backend) in hours

  • Understand the limitations of vibecoding, and when to hand over to engineers

Testimonials

  • I really enjoyed this course. Vladimir has a really great problem based learning approach. The simulator content is well written and provides opportunities for digging deeper and really internalizing the material. Vladimir is also a really great facilitator and has a great philosophy of learning. I would definitely recommend this course!

  • I found this course very helpful. The simulator is a huge advantage, it gives you hands-on practice with realistic product management scenarios. The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable, and because they're experienced product managers themselves, they don't just explain the "how" but also the "why" behind every workflow. If one is looking for a practical way to level up their AI skills as a PM, this course is well worth it.

  • The live sessions with Vlad are engaging and enthusiastic and more focussed on activities as a group which truly keeps you hooked. The simulator is possibly the most fun I've had going through a course, the delivery method works if you enjoy a play-based approach over text-driven.
