AI for Product Managers Bootcamp
Valerio Zanini
Product Innovation & AI Trainer
Get AI super powers to grow in your PM job
Using AI in product management is not just about getting better at ChatGPT. It's about leveraging AI across the product development life cycle (PDLC) to accelerate, expand, and simplify what's possible.
Unfortunately, most AI courses for PMs focus on how to build AI-powered features. But PMs can benefit from AI practices regardless of the type of product they are building. This is the focus of this course: helping PMs expand the daily practice of product management and giving PMs super powers.
Over two weeks, you’ll learn—by doing—how to use AI to accelerate discovery, synthesize insights, explore solutions, and support decisions, while understanding where AI helps and where it can mislead. This is a hands-on, instructor-led cohort for PMs who make real product decisions.
Duration: 2 weeks (short, intensive, focused) + Graduation Demo day
Format: Instructor-led cohort with 2 sessions per week (see schedule below)
Between sessions: Hands-on individual assignments (to build the practical muscles)
