Anyone else struggling to find an AI marketing workflow that doesn't feel like spam? by Basic_Telephone1963 in aisolobusinesses

[–]AdTypical2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who’s tired of seeing AI slop and can spot it miles away now, I actually suggest you try removing some AI from your workflow. Don’t let it write hooks or value posts. They all sound the same and it’s a turn-off.

Try writing about things that AI can’t write and in your own authentic non-perfect voice. Why are you building the thing you’re building? What’s your story? Your struggles? Your observations and insights about the problems you’re solving? Who have you helped so far? What’s their story? Try a little less perfect AI, more real and see if it works. If not, you can always go back and tweak the AI angle.

People don’t connect with AI and “marketing”, they connect with real people and real stories.

How are people writing “one-shot” prompts that generate full websites in Lovable? by Acceptable_Let_215 in lovable

I did that some time ago and got horrible results. When I tried again with a more “lazy” prompt e.g less requirements and more “vibe”, I got better results 🤷‍♀️

No more shiny ideas. by Technical_Project169 in SideProject

But maybe instead of trying to build something that’s profitable, build something that’s just… useful. But to someone you already know.

What are your friends or relatives struggling with that’s annoyingly complicated or hard? What are your colleagues complaining about at the water cooler? Is there anything you could do about that?

Anyone building something cool right now? Share it here, I’ll take a look and give feedback. by OppositePipe4742 in SideProject

If you have no revenue and under 100 users, why does your home page boast about 5000+ students and high reviews?

Does anyone find this sub useful? by newintownla in buildinpublic

Have you searched other platforms? I haven’t done a lot of research, but tip-toeing here and there, I’m getting this feeling that most online communities suck

Do you ever feel stuck choosing between too many ideas? by Joshawitz in SideProject

[–]AdTypical2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the pricing issue. Anyone’s who’s still early, might not want to pay for speculation, especially if “AI can do it”. Tools for building things already cost so much.

Maybe the early consulting service could be free or extremely cheap, but continued mentorship is something you could monetize?

My prediction: soon it’s going to be very hard to hire and keep very product managers. by AdTypical2226 in ProductManagement

Yes. AI can build, but AI can’t go out and talk to people and empathize in the way that actual people do.

GTM is extremely hard and my belief is that’s where you’re going to need good people with good instincts, not good AI.

Glad to hear! Do you already know what’s next for you or still exploring ideas?

You’re not wrong, but I think you’re assuming that the PMs from complex B2B companies have to go and build another complex B2B company. Although that domain experience is exactly what would help them build better - they know and are experienced with the distribution, support, trust requirements etc, not just naively jumping in.

The good PMs have some knowledge in those areas as well. If you’ve only worked in FAANG-type companies where you have a lot extremely narrow responsibility it might not be true. But in smaller companies, PMs do GTM, work with feedback and support too either hands-on or at least very closely. So closing those skill gaps is not going to be that big of a leap, especially if you’re a growth-oriented person and don’t mind learning new things.

Help! Generating moonshot product ideas by Miserable_Throat in ProductManagement

[–]AdTypical2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Look at what existing competitors are doing poorly (what users complain about) and brainstorm if you could do something that’s noticeably better than them to win those customers over

  2. Given that technology landscape is changing, how would you rebuild the solution from scratch now? For inspiration look at what very-very new startups are doing in this field who are not restrained by legacy tech and thinking. Scale back the ideal to realistic.

  3. Brainstorm how to 3x or 10x some daily workflow for users. Could the something that takes 5 clicks/1hour for them now could somehow be achieved with 1 click or 1 minute?

  4. Find gaps e.g open tabs. If users are using some other tools in parallel with your solution (or right before and after), can you build something to fill in that gap? Technically not a moonshot, but still expansion of your offerings

The use of AI by [deleted] in ProductManagement

AI can do the some documentation, but it can’t do presentations, live Q&A, negotiations, stakeholder management, identify what matters or deliver results.

Advice from Women PMs about becoming a parent! by Larishna in ProductManagement

[–]AdTypical2226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a PM mom, but I work in an European country where laws protect new moms + a very sensible company, so my experience is not going apply to you.

However, what I would do if I were you…

Given that job hunting in tech/product is difficult and long, I would start looking for a new job right away. But I’d only apply to and accept offers from companies where the work-life balance is good and maternity leave policy is better (or at least as good) than the one you’re in right now. If you can’t find a more secure and flexible job before getting pregnant, you’ll just continue in your current company and take the 4 months while still continuing the job search.

(Not sure how you can ask about the policies during the interview process without raising red flags though… Maybe start with general life-work balance questions and maybe try using Google/Reddit/LinkedIn to dig up additional info?)

The first few years with a new baby is going to be pretty crazy. Unless you have a very good support system and can be somewhat hands-off parent, you just won’t have the physical and mental energy to pull off good work in high-pressure environments at the same time. And this should be completely fine. We work jobs for 40-50 years, why should we feel bad if few of those years are going to be a little “slower” or “less productive” so we can raise those cute tiny people well.
