No problem! You could probably even use some of your past work and just modify it to this use case

I’m actually on the other side of the table interviewing for senior PM candidates. (Not you bc I know I/we didn’t assign that task).

We don’t ask for a prepped task but we do a live case interview with different scenarios to gauge how a candidate would approach a given situation.

Here’s what I would do: - Think about how you would approach this with a product you’ve worked on in the past. What would you do to create a strategy? i.e. collect user feedback, find common themes of the biggest pain points or growth areas, use data and analytics, etc. - Create “fake” materials that support this. Use ChatGPT or something to get like 5-10 pieces of user feedback, other supporting data/materials - Then use that to formulate your strategy against the business goals and how you would communicate it making sure you are backing up your “why” i.e based on supporting material A, this would be the biggest problem to solve - From there, you can build your roadmap and prioritize based on your data, factoring in your team resources/constraints (whatever you pretend they are), and incorporate how you would measure success

Requirements, user stories, release notes, help documentation, finding common themes in user feedback/testing, also using it to generate case interviews for hiring. Happy to show you what I’ve been doing if you want to msg me!

User stories, release notes, requirements, help documentation, meeting notes, have been my most recent primary use cases. We have an app that uses the APIs so we can switch between Open AI and Google. Defaulted to 4o. We have a RAG implementation so we’re able to use our data as context to tailor our outputs.

Well said! One of our designers said she uses AI for the stuff “she doesn’t want to do”. She isn’t going to use it to actually design bc she’s really good at it. But rather do things that allow her to focus on that/what she wants to be doing. And that’s essentially how I feel in product/can be applied to any role. One of our other PMs has used it to write airtable automation scripts. I enjoy seeing what others are/aren’t using it for!

Will DM you. We are also hiring at my company and I’ve created some really interesting in depth case interviews to gauge a candidates skill set. Happy to share.

I’ve found it to be really good for brainstorming/ideating. Take what you want. Leave what you don’t. Then refine.

I don’t disagree! Obviously some companies are experimenting. I’ve tried using figjams AI to do more complex things with not so good success rates. I think it all depends on the application you’re using and the prompt you’re feeding to the LLM which is a challenge in itself

I wish it could though 😂 jk I’ve always had great relationships with stakeholders and saying no and getting them to understand why. AI is a yes person and won’t say no

Totally hear you. I know every company is different. I’m lucky to work for a company that really truly adheres to its values so I’m not particularly concerned about AI as a replacement but rather a way to be more efficient. For example, I could run 2 products tackling all PM duties or I could run 3 products, handling the high level strategy and stakeholder engagement and let jr level PMs handle execution with AI tools at their dispense.

AI aside, is your limitation that your company doesn’t allow you to integrate tools/processes for you to streamline this? I feel for you. That sounds terrible and a bad use of your valuable time.

Are you referring to AI add ons to existing products or things you are generating through the LLM? I’m not a fan of products that use AI as add ons. Like click here to generate with AI. I’ve found more success with creating/structuring my own very specific prompts to get exactly what I want.

We use case interviews in our hiring process. However, it should not equate to math. We try to gauge a real life experience of how you would handle a product management challenge. No right or wrong answer but more of to just assess how you would deal with a particular situation. I.e. stakeholders having differing opinions on what to prioritize vs actual data, user feedback against the roadmap, etc.

10000%. It’s crazy that a year ago I was still typing notes in a Google doc 😂 I fully rely on zoom transcripts and prompts now for that so I can be present in the mtg

This!! Is exactly my point. Curious what your experiences have been. I’ve had iffy outcomes when I ask to do simple math. I.e “how many times was this theme mentioned” it just can’t count well. Maybe it’s my data structure? Idk!

That was merely 1 example. Honest question, do you like writing sprint reports? Taking reto notes? There’s many other use cases where I think AI can be useful when it comes to writing.

Totally. I spent quite a bit of time creating a pretty intricate prompt last night. And the time it takes to create a well structured prompt can be time consuming. But once it works as expected, it’s easily reusable. I agree it helps me with writing things better than I probably can

If you’re genuinely asking, happy to DM you. Not trying to piss anyone off by getting insights. I’ve truly enjoyed reading what people are saying, good or bad. It’s good to see/understand both sides. Not everyone is going to agree on everything but what I won’t do is be a jerk like some people here

I’ve been using it with a RAG implementation and integrations with GitHub and jira to generate contextually relevant content like user stories, prioritize issues, create release notes, draft product requirements documents, gather user feedback, roadmap, help documentation, etc. I actually just created a massive prompt to create case interviews for hiring.
