## 84% of leaders say AI is key to their growth

Not long ago, not many people knew much about artificial intelligence (AI).

**✨ Don’t be afraid!**

As Product Managers, AI can help us do things better and faster.

It's not too late, every PM can be an AI PM.

## What is an AI Product Manager?

Two scenarios:

1. PMs who use AI to build products
2. PMs who build products with AI capabilities

## How do I use AI as a Product Manager?

My top tips on where to get started with AI in your product development lifecycle:

* 🕵️‍♂️ **Discovery**: Find and understand data (work out what makes features sticky)
* 💡 **Ideation**: The world just got a little bigger, what possibilities can you imagine?
* ✅ **Validation**: Test ideas and see what works (make your prototypes faster)
* 🛠️ **Build**: Add what you learn to your plans, prioritise which features to build & create documents such as personas, job stories and acceptance criteria faster
* 🚀 **Launch**: Roll out products based on usage & feedback (maximise Product Led Growth)
* 🔄 **Evaluation & Iteration**: Understand what’s working—and what’s not

### AI can help PMs understand, prioritise, experiment and communicate faster.

It can’t replace customer centricity and solid business sense.

**Smarter choices, bigger impact, better outcomes.** 💡
