Stop "Learning" AI!

Start Applying It Like a Product Leader

Stop "Learning" AI!

First of all! Thank you so much. I didn’t expect such a fast response to my course announcement last week. I opened 10 founding member spots and got sold out in 12 hours, but before I could turn off the checkout page, it was oversold to a handful more more.

This is a rewarding feeling for sure, and making me nervous at the same time. But I delivered module 1 already and started a private community for all the founding members. Yay!

If you are interested in learning more about the course or the community. Sign up on the waitlist to hear first when I open for the next round of founding members.


On to Today’s Topic

One year ago, I thought I needed to "learn AI" to stay relevant.

I signed up for courses, bookmarked tool directories, and collected 50+ prompts. None of it stuck. Then I made a shift: I stopped trying to learn AI like a student. I started applying AI like a product leader.

That's when things changed.

Below is the exact breakdown of 3 skills I built—and how they helped me work faster, think deeper, and get noticed.

1/ Prompt Like a Product Leader

Before: → Ask AI for help in vague, open-ended ways → Get mediocre outputs

What I do now: → Treat every AI task like a mini PRD → Define user, goal, context, and edge cases → Iterate on prompts like product copy

Example: Instead of asking: "Summarize this interview"

I ask: "Summarize this interview for a UX designer creating the onboarding flow. Focus on pain points, expectations, and emotional triggers."

🧠 AI doesn't replace clarity—it scales it.

2/ Debug AI Output Like a Dev

AI isn't magic. It breaks. It hallucinates. It will give you wrong answers with confidence.

At first, I treated every wrong answer as a failure. Now I treat it like debugging a feature.

My debug checklist:

  • Did I give the right input structure?
  • Did I provide enough context?
  • Did I specify format and tone?
  • Can I use "chain of thought" prompting to walk it through logic?

This alone made my ChatGPT usage 5x more effective.

3/ Evaluate Tools Like a Founder

I used to chase every AI tool that popped up. Now I use 4 consistently.

How I choose:

  • Does it save me time weekly?
  • Does it increase the quality of my output?
  • Does it scale something I'm already good at?

I don't need "20 tools for PMs." I need 3 that move the needle.

You don't need to be an AI expert. You need to be an expert in how you work—and apply AI to it.

These 3 skills helped me: → Save 6+ hours/week → Get faster buy-in from stakeholders → Unlock headspace to lead, not just react

Let's make your work sharper, faster, and more fun.

That’s all for today!

See you next week!
