  1. Why Most Agentic AI Products Fail

    MAR 1

    Why Most Agentic AI Products Fail

    Hot take: most companies building AI agents right now are setting themselves up to fail — and it's not the technology's fault. Deloitte says 25% of enterprises are piloting AI agents in 2025. Salesforce data shows agents succeed on multi-step tasks only 35% of the time. Sendbird's analysis puts the overall project failure rate at 80–90%. We're watching billions flow into systems that fail nearly half the time. The culprit? Applying deterministic product thinking to non-deterministic systems. In Episode 2 of Product Mastery in the Age of AI and ChatGPT, I pull back the curtain on: → Why the CrewAI vs. LangGraph debate is the THIRD most important decision you'll make → The 5-pillar AGENT Framework I built from real fraud detection systems at Walmart → The whitespace opportunity almost no PM is talking about → 3 things you can do THIS week to build agents that actually work This one's spicy. I want to hear where you disagree.

  2. What is AI Product Sense and Why Traditional Product Intuition Isn’t Enough

    FEB 8

    What is AI Product Sense and Why Traditional Product Intuition Isn’t Enough

    AI isn’t “just another feature.” It changes how users behave, how feedback loops form, and what success even means. That’s why traditional product intuition isn’t enough anymore. Here’s the mental model I share in the episode — the SENSE Framework: S — System over feature: map the full system, not just the UI E — Error budgets: define what failure is acceptable (and where it’s not) N — Novel feedback loops: your launch will change user behavior and future data S — Signals + scaffolding: instrument learning signals + guardrails, don’t “pray for accuracy” E — Evaluation in reality: offline + online + human audits + risk checks This episode covers this topic with some interesting examples based on my experience.

  3. What are the AI agents running our life?

    What are the AI agents running our life?

    Your alarm, coffee maker, commute app, email filter, credit card fraud protection—all AI agents making decisions about YOUR life. Most product leaders think AI agents are ChatGPT and virtual assistants. But after building fraud detection systems that prevented $50M+ in losses across e-commerce platforms, I discovered something completely different: The most powerful AI agents are invisible. Last week at 3:47 AM, an AI agent detected something extraordinary—a $12M coordinated fraud attack involving 847 fake seller accounts. The agent spotted patterns that would take human analysts 6-8 weeks to find. It stopped the attack in 4 minutes. This taught me that we're not just building AI tools—we're creating an invisible layer of digital governance that's fundamentally changing how decisions are made. In my latest episode, I reveal: The AIDE Framework—4 types of AI agents secretly running your life. Three $23B+ whitespace opportunities nobody's discussing Why 78% of people can't identify AI agent interactions The company that will become "the next Microsoft" by 2027 Most importantly: 3 actions you can take THIS WEEK to audit and optimize your AI agent strategy.

    Designing with Models: Product-First Thinking for GenAI

    Which AI model should we use?" ← This question just cost a startup $200K While teams debate GPT-4 vs Claude, smart product managers are asking completely different questions. I just dropped a 30-minute deep dive on the framework that's helping AI products win by focusing on users first, models second. Key insight: The most successful AI products (Notion, Linear, Grammarly) don't feel like AI products at all. They feel like magic. What you'll learn: The 3-layer framework for user-first AI development Real examples from companies shipping beloved AI features 30-day action plan you can start Monday The one question that validates any AI feature idea This isn't theory – it's battle-tested insights from shipping AI products that users actually love.

  7. GenAI Product Management: Problem to Build No-Code Prototype

    GenAI Product Management: Problem to Build No-Code Prototype

    A few years ago, AI felt like sci-fi—or at best, the domain of specialized data-science teams. Then ChatGPT arrived, DALL·E reshaped image generation, and product managers suddenly had direct, hands-on encounters with Generative AI. The shift turned theory into something real and tangible. For me, that raised a crucial question: how can product managers without deep coding or ML backgrounds truly harness this power? How does one move from observer to builder in an AI-first world? That question led to “GenAI Product Management: Problem to Build No-Code Prototype” on Udemy. The series moves from the “what” to the “how,” designed specifically for product leaders. Key takeaways: Navigate and articulate the modern AI landscape. No more getting lost in conversations about LLMs or multimodal AI—gain clarity to lead and decide.Adopt an AI-first product mindset. This is about rethinking solutions with intelligent capabilities at the core and identifying business opportunities that Generative AI uniquely unlocks.Learn by doing. The experience mirrors real-world product development—prompt DALL·E and GPT-4 for rich personas, iterate features, and prototype without writing code. The course dives into prompt craft and shows how to apply Generative AI across the productization journey, from ideation to no-code prototyping.Link to the course: https://www.udemy.com/course/genai-product-management-problem-to-build-no-code-prototype/?referralCode=7A280E6A7E808D294995

  8. Agentic AI vs. AI Agents: The Billion-Dollar Distinction That Will Define Your Next Product Launch

    07/27/2025

    Agentic AI vs. AI Agents: The Billion-Dollar Distinction That Will Define Your Next Product Launch

    Your GenAI project has a 78% chance of delivering zero material impact. The reason? Most leaders are asking the wrong question. It's not "Should we use AI?" but "Which AI architecture should we use?" The distinction between AI Agents (smart tools) and Agentic AI (collaborative systems) is the difference between a small ROI and a market-defining transformation. In my latest Product Mastery newsletter, I break down:The thermostat vs. smart home analogy that makes it click. My MARS framework to evaluate any AI system. How Bayer predicts flu weeks earlier and how an e-commerce firm boosted conversions by 34% using the right approach. The #1 question every PM must ask before starting their next AI initiative. Don't be a statistic. Get the frameworks and insights that will make you the smartest person in your next AI strategy meeting.
