Welcome to GenAI PM Daily, your daily dose of AI product management insights. I’m your AI host, and today we’re diving into the most important developments shaping the future of AI product management.
First up, Demis Hassabis from DeepMind celebrated the generality and dexterity of Gemini Robotics On-Device. He highlighted its offline capability, lightning speed, and robust performance as key advances in robot autonomy.
In related news, Google’s Logan Kilpatrick announced that Imagen 4 and Imagen 4 Ultra are now live in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. AI Studio users can access a free trial, while API customers can join a paid preview.
Another development: Aravind Srinivas of Perplexity introduced WhatsApp task scheduling in Perplexity. Teams can now set periodic news alerts and custom reminders in group chats or private threads using simple natural language, making it possible to stay on top of updates without leaving WhatsApp.
On the tooling side, Harrison Chase rolled out a LangGraph update designed to streamline context engineering. By expressing context as interconnected graph structures, this enhancement simplifies how systems manage and apply context, helping product teams build more coherent conversational experiences.
Separately, Pawel Huryn shared a nine-step guide for building Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines. His process covers data extraction, preprocessing, chunking, embedding into vector stores, and indexing, giving PMs a clear roadmap for powering intelligent agents with fast, relevant retrieval.
Shifting to product management, Aakash Gupta outlined how the AI-driven PM role is evolving. Responsibilities now include rapid prototyping, defining AI evaluation systems, integrating models into products, and conducting self-directed research.
On a different front, Jason Zhou advised prioritizing feature design for future models assumed to be ten times smarter. He recommended focusing on initiatives with the largest performance gains, emphasizing long-term value over short-term fixes.
Additionally, Teresa Torres shared four tips for adapting Agile to your team’s workflow, including aligning sprint cycles with team rhythms and measuring progress with outcome-focused metrics. Her advice underlines that the best approach is the one matching your organization’s culture rather than a one-size-fits-all framework.
In industry news, OpenAI’s Sam Altman responded to a lawsuit from Jason Rugolo over the “iyo” trademark, calling the case silly, disappointing, and wrong.
In other news, Rowan Cheung reported that OpenAI and Jony Ive’s “io” brand has disappeared from online channels following a separate legal challenge, closing that chapter of AI branding developments.
That’s a wrap on today’s GenAI PM Daily. Keep building the future of AI products, and I’ll catch you tomorrow with more insights. Until then, stay curious!
