AI Product Management
beginner-advancedShip AI-powered products — strategy, roadmapping, user research, and go-to-market.
Never written code? You can still start here.
Module 0 opens with 18 lessons of programming from nothing: your first program, variables, loops, functions, reading errors, the terminal, Git and arrays, before any of the AI Product Management material. No prior coding assumed.
What you'll learn
~109 h guided · about 22 weeks at 5 h/week · +121 h on projects
- Explain why ChatGPT and Claude generate answers rather than looking them up like a search engine
- Describe a program as ordinary text saved in a file and read by Python one line at a time
- Apply stakeholder mapping to identify and prioritise cross-functional relationships in AI projects
- Adopt the "brief a colleague, don't query a search box" mental model
- Run a Python file and produce output on screen using the print instruction
- Translate technical AI metrics into business-relevant language for diverse audiences
- Identify why a briefed prompt reliably beats a lazy one
- Use comments to leave notes that Python ignores when the program runs

Beyond the chatbox: what AI assistants really are
How the model "thinks" — and why it changes how you ask
The capability map: what AI does brilliantly
The limits: hallucination, freshness, and what never to trust it with
Your first real win: turn a 30-minute task into 3
Context is everything: give it what it needs to know
Give it a role and a goal
Constraints and format: define what "good" looks like
Show, don't tell: examples and templates
Iterate like a pro: steer, don't restart
Documents and reports: summarise, extract, and draft better
Spreadsheets and data: Excel formulas, analysis, and charts
Presentations: from blank page to a solid deck
Long, messy input: transcripts, threads, notes, and screenshots
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini: which to reach for, and when
Make smarter decisions: AI as your thinking partner
