🎞️ How Experienced Product Managers Use ChatGPT

Each day I get requests for coffees, calls, zooms. I have to say no to most of them, though I started offering free async help over voice notes. (This allows me to answer in between tasks, while on walks, waiting in line, etc.) Why do this for free? Since launching my course, my two "critical path" activities are 1) customer discovery and 2) content marketing. Helping others with their challenges helps me with both: it gives me insight into challenges and forces me to crystallize my thoughts—which could down the road make for valuable content.

Ask me anything 1-1 on my WhatsApp (free)

Sr. Product Manager

Your days are jam-packed with meetings and urgent slacks. You're always busy, but never accomplished—feels like treading water. Deep work feels like a distant dream: Instead of proactively driving strategy, you're stuck putting out fires left and right. You're also facing the AI dilemma: You're drowning in tasks that "AI could never help with," but worried about being left behind by peers who are using AI better. (You've tried ChatGPT and found it disappointing for senior PM work.) It's going to get tougher. Boom times are over, and tech orgs are flattening. More experienced people are competing for scarcer product roles. Rapid advances in AI are accelerating expectations of what one product manager can handle. As a result, companies are increasingly expecting product managers to own a broader swath of the product, lead multiple teams, and set strategy—while staying hands-on. Every PM in this situation will inevitably hit a wall. What worked in the past won't work anymore. (This is where many senior PMs burn out.) Now imagine if you could:✅ End your day with a tangible sense of accomplishment, knowing you've moved the needle on strategic initiatives.&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Spend a good chunk of every day in deep focused work (guilt-free!)&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Lead multiple teams with successful outcomes&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Cultivate self-reliant teams that operate smoothly, even when you're not in the room&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Fortify your emotional inner game to maintain clarity during waves of overwhelm ✅ Communicate confidently with leadership about your capacity and priorities.&nbsp; ✅ Build a PM-specific AI copilot for data analysis, prototyping, shipping, strategic decisions, hard conversations, unavoidable busywork, and high-quality artifacts (while maintaining your unique voice and creativity)&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Consult, brainstorm, and converse with an AI copilot that understands your unique team &amp; company context (and gets smarter over time)&nbsp;&nbsp; ✅ Develop an "AI mindset" that becomes your permanent career advantage ✅ Be known as the irreplaceable PM who's always finding new ways to use AI, and teaching the rest of the org ❝ I believe the future of product management looks like Tal Raviv. ❞ - Lenny Rachitsky (author of Lenny's Newsletter) Join PMs enrolled from every industry:Tech giants:&nbsp;Apple | Google | Microsoft | Amazon | Meta Finance &amp; Payments:&nbsp;Visa | Stripe | PayPal | Affirm | US Bank Retail:&nbsp;Walmart | LEGO | Sephora | McDonald's | Whirlpool Developer tools:&nbsp;GitHub | Atlassian | AWS | DigitalOcean | Mozilla Enterprise &amp; SaaS:&nbsp;Adobe | LinkedIn | HubSpot | Workday | Dell Consumer &amp; Entertainment:&nbsp;TikTok | Spotify | Reddit | Grammarly | Yelp Mobility &amp; Industrial:&nbsp;General Motors | Honda | Lyft | Turo | Siemens | Shell Consulting &amp; international brands:&nbsp;McKinsey | EY | Rakuten | Lenovo | Jabra | Xero What enrolled PMs say:❝ After completing three Reforge cohorts and several other PM courses, I can confidently say that your course has had the most direct and immediate impact on my growth as a Product Manager. ❞ ❝ Honestly Tal, I was happy today at work, which hasn't happened for 6 months or so, thanks to the content from day 1. ❞ ❝ I cannot believe my work experience as a foundational PM, managing two teams, changed so drastically in such a short period of time.
