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 on the product front, Alibaba’s Qwen team released the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, the first open-weight Qwen3.5-series model with native multimodal support. It uses hybrid linear attention and sparse Mixture-of-Experts to deliver 8.6 to 19 times decoding throughput gains across 201 languages and dialects under an Apache 2.0 license. In related news, ChatPRD now indexes all live and planned features for your company and competitors, allowing PMs to auto-generate competitive feature matrices. Cognition’s Windsurf platform added GLM-5 and Minimax M2.5 models with limited-time discounts for early adopters.
On the tools front, LlamaIndex demoed its Invoice Reconciler agent using retrieval-augmented workflows on LlamaCloud to match unit prices, validate math, and check line items against contracts. Tal Raviv’s Familiar, a free, open-source Mac app, captures screen and clipboard data for a continuous local context store. Philipp Schmid released two compact TypeScript packages—agents-core and agent—for the Gemini API. Microsoft’s Foundry now offers an agentic SDK in Python, C#, and JS/TS with model routing, evals, and monitoring integrated in GitHub and VS Code for one-second model swaps.
Turning to product management strategy, Peter Yang shared five agent best practices from Eno Reyes: shift from prompts to reusable skills and workflows, open codebases organization-wide, extend agents beyond engineering, and embed automatic validation loops. Madhu Guru calls for PMs and engineers to think like each other to close collaboration gaps. Udi Menkes says AI won’t replace product managers but will refine core judgment and taste, following a “demo don’t memo” approach: draft markdown outlines first, track failed prompts, and parallel test. Santiago Pino urges a model-first prototype before optimization.
In industry news, Anthropic opened a Bengaluru office as its India hub and second Asia-Pacific location. Meta showcased ASR, SeamlessExpressive demos, lightning talks, and AI glasses at the AI Impact Summit in Bengaluru. Andrew Ng warned that heavy EU AI regulation could stifle innovation, previewing debates at AI Dev 26 in San Francisco on April 28–29. Peter Steinberger, creator of the OpenClaw agent, is joining OpenAI as it transitions into an OpenAI-backed foundation, marking a strategic win in the multi-agent race with Anthropic.
In tech demos, Frey Chu turned 71,000 Google Maps porta-potty records into 725 luxury trailer listings using Claude Code and Outscraper. Joe McCormack built a Cloud Code–powered Chrome extension in 25 minutes that summarizes Slack links into screen-reader key takeaways. Brian Halligan shared his LOCKS framework—Lovable, Obsessed, Chip, Knowledgeable, Student—for evaluating founder-CEOs. As these demos show, AI is driving innovations from data pipelines to accessibility and leadership evaluation frameworks.
