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, OpenAI is streamlining ChatGPT’s customization options. On the new personalization page, personality configuration, custom instructions, and memory settings will live in a single interface, rolling out soon for all users.
In related news, YouTube Shorts is adding two generative AI features announced by DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis. “Veo 3” clips now come with integrated audio tracks, and “Lyria 2” Speech to Song lets creators transform dialogue into soundtracks directly within Shorts.
On the tools front, Cursor AI has released version 1.6, featuring custom commands for reusable prompts, a faster agent terminal, support for MCP Resources, and a new “/summarize” command to quickly condense outputs.
Meanwhile, Claude AI introduced custom tools and hooks in its Code SDK, giving developers more flexibility to build tailored integrations and inviting feedback on upcoming features.
Also, Perplexity Pro now integrates with Notion, GitHub, Gmail, and Google Calendar across all Pro plans, while Linear MCP and Outlook connectors will soon roll out for Enterprise subscribers.
Turning to product leadership, Shreyas Doshi published a hiring masterclass framework to define and evaluate Product Leader candidates during interviews, plus guidelines for structured onboarding after hire.
Aakash Gupta reports that high-level executives, from board members to VPs, are increasingly demanding AI expertise, fueling a rapid surge in AI Product Manager roles across sectors.
Industry collaboration got a boost as Google’s Sundar Pichai applauded Coinbase for extending the x402 protocol to AP2, reinforcing open standards in agent ecosystems.
In robotics, Clement Delangue released UnifoLM-WMA-0 on Hugging Face, an open-source world-model action architecture designed for general-purpose robot learning.
Separately, Vercel’s Guillermo Rauch unveiled a Verified Bots Directory listing confirmed bots, revealing that 35.4% of web crawler traffic now comes from AI-driven bots, led by GPTBot.
And finally, a recent video from AI Explained details OpenAI’s upcoming under-18 detection and parental control features for ChatGPT. Soon the system will default minors to a restricted experience—blocking inappropriate content, enabling blackout controls, and sending distress alerts to parents or law enforcement—while verified adults unlock full capabilities. Sam Altman also proposed granting AI conversations legal confidentiality privileges akin to doctor-patient or attorney-client protections, a move that could introduce regulatory hurdles for startups and open-source projects. He predicts AI-driven job displacement will follow a historical pattern of 50% change every 75 years, suggesting the full impact may not materialize until around 2100.
