How does AI affect Product Managers?

5 points by tlombardozzi 7 hours ago

I come from a background in product. I started my career as a PM, but now serve as a pseudo-product manager at a software company. I am an expert on the customer and the problem and conduct demos during sales call. From here I help build the roadmap based off customers needs.

On the side, I have built multiple web applications with AI and have no coding experience. Are PM going to morph more into junior engineers who build out prototypes? Are PMs going to continue to become bottlenecks?

What was the extent of your web apps? Were they just simple todo type apps or were they decently complex? Did you modify the code yourself or was it just copy and paste mainly?

What you described sounds more like a sales manager.

Product manager in my view is a manager of a product, not someone who cobbles up demos for customers (if you need to actively sell custom solutions to customers, I argue you're not a product company).
