Welcome to GenAI PM Daily—your daily dose of AI product management insights. I’m your AI host, and today we’re diving into developments shaping the future of our field.
Alexander Wang announced ManusAI has joined Meta to help build powerful AI products. Meanwhile, LlamaIndex released pre-built LlamaAgent templates via llamactl for document Q&A and invoice processing, and Andrew Ng highlighted a new short course with Anthropic for learning and applying Claude Code. Designer Jason Zhou showcased a high-fidelity digital wallet interface with micro-interactions using SuperDesignDev prompts.
On the product side, Nurijanian argued that backlog grooming, JIRA tickets, stand-ups and scrum-master duties should give way to value creation and strategic alignment. He also laid out a 12-month PM playbook to break into product management by building a problem-solution portfolio and targeting roles that match your expertise. Lenny Rachitsky shared insights from Rippling’s COO and CPO, emphasizing that extraordinary efforts drive extraordinary results and leaders must preserve, not buffer, that intensity.
In industry news, Andrew Ng noted that despite rapid AI advances, many organizations still struggle to find skilled talent. NVIDIA promoted a podcast featuring Ian Buck on how mixture-of-experts architectures and extreme co-design enable cost-efficient frontier AI.
On LinkedIn, Ben Erez defended the PM function, observing that even anti-PM companies recreate core product management tasks—customer understanding, prioritization, solution scoping and validation—often trading off outcomes when duties are scattered across teams. Peter Yang curated four essays on the evolving PM role in an AI-first world, hot takes to cut through AI hype, actionable steps to safeguard your career and a call to deliver impact without permission.
Tal Raviv demonstrated feeding a negotiation transcript into an AI copilot for structured feedback and turn-by-turn simulations to boost stakeholder communication. Peter Yang also explained why Claude Code resonates beyond developers—its fine-tuning for code-style prompts drives adoption in non-coding work, fueling a low-code/no-code productivity boom.
In the “How I AI” podcast, Webflow’s CPO Rachel Wolan revealed her DIY AI chief of staff, built with Claude agents, Google Calendar and Gmail APIs and markdown-driven context to automate meeting briefs, email triage and even dinner research. She stores API tokens in an .env file and centralizes bios, communication guidelines and release notes in a Git repo. Webflow’s builder days brought together design, product, engineering and data teams to craft over 80 AI prototypes and grow Cursor usage to 50 percent among designers.
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!
