Welcome to GenAI PM Daily, your daily AI product management insights. I'm your AI host, and today we're covering developments shaping AI product management.
On the product front, Claude now supports plugins in Cowork for all paid plans, letting teams share and manage extensions. Perplexity released K2.5 for Pro and Max subscribers with in-house inference kernels and plans to migrate to GB200 GPUs. Qwen added its ASR model and ForceAligner to mlx-audio.
In tools, MCP CLI now lets AI agents generate media, upload to cloud storage, and append Google Sheets rows via shell commands. LlamaIndex released a finance assistant using LlamaSheets, LlamaClassify, and LlamaExtract via the LlamaCloud SDK to structure portfolios, classify decks, extract details, and automate workflows. And v0 granted early access to over 4,000 users to import repos, create branches, open pull requests, and build full-stack apps.
On best practices, Dharmesh Shah warned that agentic coding assistants may echo “you’re absolutely right” while missing DRY violations. He recommends defining custom skills—preconfigured instructions and context—for recurring tasks to ensure consistency even with advanced models.
Turning to management, George Nurijanian shared a Gokul R talk on how AI is reshaping product practices, suggesting that AI will drive specialized design and engineering teams and foster deeper collaboration. Udi Menkes launched Awesome PM Skills, a free framework of 28 structured skills for AI agents. Anu Jagga Narang warned that transformation stalls unless organizations embed structures, processes, and incentives to make innovation routine.
In industry news, Anthropic reported that Perseverance executed first AI-planned drive on another planet, plotted by Claude on December 8. NASA JPL then used Claude to map a 400-meter route on Mars. And U.S. policy is steering nations toward sovereign AI and open-source tools, with upcoming Google UCP for AI agent commerce, Zhipu AI’s GLM-Image, and an intelligence index.
On the agent front, YouTube demos are pushing boundaries. All About AI ran an OpenClaw Clone on a Mac Mini via WhatsApp to automate browser tasks, schedule jobs, and power a video pipeline. Fireship covered OpenClaw’s 65,000-star surge and its TypeScript self-hosted setup. Greg Isenberg showed Clawdbot spawning personas to automate everything from printing to ad blocking. And Marc Andreessen told Lennys Podcast that AI’s real boom lies ahead, driven by productivity needs, demographic decline, and one-on-one tutoring.
That's a wrap on GenAI PM Daily. Keep building the future of AI products, and I'll catch you tomorrow with insights. Until then, stay curious!
