The AI-Native PM: Compress Months of Work into Days

Scher Rafay

Staff PM @ Meta | Wharton | Builder

Be the PM who ships fast and doesn't produce slop.

You wrote the spec four weeks ago. Your engineer "kind of" built it. Your skip-level wants a quick sync. It's now Tuesday and you're still six alignment meetings away from shipping.

You've tried the obvious moves to use AI. But the work takes the same time. Becoming an AI-Native PM, and actually seeing the benefits, requires you to rethink the process.

This workshop teaches the PM job differently:

  • Write a PRD in 10 minutes, sometimes after you've already built the prototype

  • Synthesize 30 user interviews in an afternoon

  • Generate 20 UX variations of an idea, and pick one with conviction

  • Design evals without an ML team holding your hand

  • Simulate your exec team's objections before the review, not in the room

  • Build prototypes when writing a spec is slower than building

  • Avoid AI tells in your work so it reads as yours

Generate fast with AI, judge well, ship work that's good. Speed is the upgrade. Taste is still your job.

Bigger payoff: shorter days, agents handling what you hate, more time on the work that drew you to product management.

I built this workflow at Meta and taught dozens of PM workshops internally. This isn't another "become an AI PM" course. This teaches you the job, better, with AI.

What you’ll learn

Move from spec-and-wait to ship-and-iterate, with AI doing the heavy lifting and your taste running the show.

  • How I built this workflow at 1.7B DAU scale and what the broader org actually adopted

  • A diagnostic framework for spotting which PM tasks are AI-ready vs. judgment-only vs. don't-touch-it

  • Your own AI-native PM operating system, sketched during the workshop and yours to keep

  • Live demo: I write a real PRD in 10 minutes using Claude Code + NotebookLM, prompts shared

  • The inversion: when writing the PRD after the prototype is faster, and what changes in your workflow

  • A PRD scaffold you can re-use immediately. No more starting from a blank doc

  • Synthesize 30 user interviews into themes and next steps in a single session using Claude + NotebookLM

  • Design evals for AI features without an ML team holding your hand

  • Generate 20 UX variations and develop conviction about the right one in 30 minutes

  • Steel-man your skeptical exec's objections before the review using Claude as the devil's advocate

  • Synthesize XFN partner POVs into a decision doc that addresses each stakeholder's actual concern

  • Draft tone-perfect responses to high-stakes emails/threads (the ones you stress about all evening)

  • Live build: I prototype a real AI feature in Claude Code in 60 minutes, no engineer needed

  • The decision framework: when to spec, when to prototype, when to just send the working demo

  • Your own working prototype, shipped during the workshop and yours to demo Monday morning

  • The AI tells reviewers learn to spot (em-dashes, "delve," buzzword rhythms) and how to avoid them

  • A voice-matching prompt pattern that makes Claude write like you, not like Claude

  • The 60-second taste pass that catches AI slop before anyone else sees your work

Workshop agenda

  • The AI-native PM thesis + case study

    I'll show you the AI-native workflow I built, the one I've taught internally. Sets the frame for the rest of the day.

  • AI ideation without slop: generate fast, judge well

    Use AI to generate 20 options fast, then apply your judgment to cut to the 3 that matter. The framework that protects your taste.

  • AI-native PRDs: from 4 hours to 10 minutes

    Live demo of writing a real PRD with Claude Code + NotebookLM. Plus the inversion most PMs miss: when writing the PRD after the prototype is actually faster. Lab + template included.

  • AI-native research synthesis + eval design

    Two demos back-to-back. Synthesizing 30 user interviews into themes and a roadmap in an afternoon with Claude. Then designing evals for AI features without an ML team hand-holding. Both with labs.

  • Lunch Break

    30-minute break to recharge. Come back ready for the afternoon politics block.

  • AI for PM politics: surviving exec reviews and XFN partner pushback

    Steel-man your skeptical exec's objections before the meeting using Claude as devil's advocate. Synthesize XFN partner POVs into decision docs that actually land.

  • Build your own prototype, live

    I prototype a real AI feature in Claude Code in front of you in 60 minutes. Then you build one with help. You leave with a working prototype to demo Monday morning.

  • Final shares + Q&A

    Everyone shows what they built. Open Q&A on anything from the day: workflow, tools, politics, prototype debugging. Recording shared after for lifetime reference.

Who this workshop is for

  • PMs who feel slow watching indie builders ship with AI on weekends, and want to compress cycles without losing their taste.

  • PMs at startups whose teams are going AI-native, and need to model what good AI-native PM work looks like.

  • PMs who don't build themselves anymore, but need to spot the difference between good AI-native work and slop.
