Stop managing products.
Start orchestrating them.

Last month I watched PMs open a terminal like it was Figma. That shouldn't feel normal. But it does now.

DishGenie, the Nano Banana Hackathon, and Why the Gap Between a Phone Photo and a Professional Image Is a Product Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight

This post explores the modern "tech paradox" where AI and cloud tools have effectively erased the technical barriers to building software, shifting the competitive advantage from product velocity to delivering undeniable, end-to-end business outcomes. To win in this new era, startups must rely on small, highly-leveraged teams to solve hard market uncertainties rather than just shipping features.

AI has made building products faster and cheaper than ever—but speed without distribution and judgment leads to wasted effort. The real edge today isn’t shipping more, but knowing what not to build and focusing only on what drives lasting value.

The AI & Big Data Expo Global returned to Olympia London on February 4-5, 2026 — over 8,000 attendees and 200+ speakers

I've just stepped out of the full-day Accelerate AI with Cloud Run workshop at Google for Startups in Warsaw. Over the course of a single day, participants built and deployed multi-component AI agents on production-grade infrastructure — secure MCP servers, intelligent agent logic, GPU-accelerated inference, and serverless deployment — from scratch.

A detective wakes up accused of murder. An AI judge gives him 90 minutes to prove innocence. His guilt score: 97.5%. Miss the threshold, and the sentence is death. It's fiction — but the architecture is closer to production than most teams realize.

The London Agentic AI Meetup drew over 1,200 registrations for 150 seats. The demand wasn't driven by hype — it was driven by a question most teams are getting wrong. Here's what the evening revealed about agentic coding in practice.

Most product teams start and stop at text-based AI. But the real world isn't text-only — people talk, point, watch, and interpret visuals. Here's how multimodal LLMs open up capabilities that chatbots alone can't touch, and how product managers can put them to work.

AI won't replace product managers — but PMs who know how to use AI will replace those who don't. The key isn't chasing every new tool or generating entire deliverables with a single prompt. It's knowing where AI accelerates your thinking and where it just produces noise. Agency, critical thinking, and creativity are the skills that separate human-machine synergy from soulless output. The best products still come from clear ideas, not sophisticated tools — but combining human direction with AI's capacity for grunt work is where the real leverage lies.

One study says AI makes developers 55% faster. Another says it slows them down by 19%. Both are right — and that contradiction holds the key to using AI effectively as a product manager. As product managers, we are constantly bombarded with narratives about an AI revolution and mythical "10x productivity gains." The reality is far more pragmatic. My thesis is simple: Generative AI is a powerful accelerator for boring, repetitive tasks across the product lifecycle. The real value appears only when we stop treating AI as magic and start treating it as a tool. Not an autopilot. A turbocharger.

Google Just Published the Enterprise Playbook for Multi-Agent Systems. Here's What Most Teams Are Getting Wrong.

Most AI agent failures aren’t model failures—they’re design mismatches: teams ship too much autonomy for simple jobs (like document summarization) and not enough structure for complex ones (like cross-system execution). This article gives product managers a practical 5-stage progression—from scripted bots to multi-agent orchestration.
