Orientation & Cohort Kickoff
Welcome to the AI Product Management Intensive. This first session establishes the foundation for an intensive 8-week experience alongside 29 other experienced PMs.
What Makes This Different
This isn't a passive course. You'll build a real AI product spec, get feedback from peers at companies like Google, Stripe, and Notion, and present your work to the cohort. Every session includes live discussion, not just lecture.
Your Capstone Project
Over 8 weeks, you'll develop a full AI product spec for a real problem at your company (or a realistic case study). By Week 8, you'll present a polished spec that includes:
- Problem definition and market validation
- Model selection and evaluation criteria
- Data strategy and infrastructure requirements
- Responsible AI framework
- Go-to-market plan with AI-specific considerations
- Executive-ready business case
Cohort Norms
- Cameras on during live sessions (builds trust, improves discussion)
- Slack participation: Post at least twice per week in the cohort channel
- Peer reviews: Complete all assigned peer reviews within 48 hours
- Confidentiality: What's shared in cohort stays in cohort (Chatham House Rule)
Setting Your Learning Goals
Before Session 2, write three specific goals for what you want to achieve in this intensive. Share them in the #goals Slack channel. Examples: "Build a business case for adding LLM search to our product," "Learn to evaluate foundation models for my enterprise use case."
