Inside the AI Stack of an $8.3B AI Company’s Product Team | Together AI
Today’s Episode90% of teams have adopted AI, yet 56% of CEOs say they saw no major financial benefit. Both metrics are accurate, and I’m pretty sure you fall somewhere between them.With new AI tools flooding the market every week, it is safe to say that every team has its own AI setup by now. But are any of those setups in sync with each other?I’ve been building this argument in stages. First, Car
How to Build Effective Product Loops in Claude Code, with Chief AI and Product Officer at JobNimbus, Tyler Folkman
Today’s episodeMost PMs have automated something with AI by now. A PRD review. A weekly status update. The problem is that every session starts from scratch.Loops are what fix that. A skill that runs the same way forever is just a skill. A skill that takes the log of what happened and rewrites itself is a loop. Everyone keeps saying loops are the new prompts. Almost nobody shows you how to build o

Claude PM Masterclass from Former FAANG AI PM Jyothi Nookula
Today’s episode“This one’s too complex. I’m still stuck on ChatGPT.”I get some version of that DM every week, usually right after I publish something on the PM OS or the Team OS.

How to Build a Company OS in Claude Code with Jiaona Zhang, CPO at Laurel

Today’s episodeLinkedIn just changed the title of its product managers to product builders.What does it even mean to be a “builder PM”?Well, tools only get you so far.

How to Design like OpenAI and Figma

It is not anymore.I brought in two people who represent both sides of the new design infrastructure.

Evals are the new PRD. Here is the playbook with the CEO of the leader in the space (Ankur Goyal, Founder and CEO, Braintrust)
Today’s episodeMost PMs treat evals like a quality gate. Something you run right before shipping, just to check the box.That is backwards.The best AI product teams treat evals as the starting point. They write the eval before the prompt. They iterate on the scoring function before the model.

Gemini Gem Masterclass From the Creator Lisa Huang
