Cai moves from awareness to practice with three concrete AI workflows for PRD writing, customer feedback synthesis, and competitive analysis. Plus: prompting techniques that dramatically improve output quality, the story of a PM who analyzed 34,000 Reddit comments to reshape a product roadmap, and a look at what agentic AI means for the future of the role.

In this very first episode of Fireside with Cai, Cai breaks down the current state of AI adoption, explains why product managers are uniquely positioned to lead it, walks through the tools that matter most — from ChatGPT and Claude to PM-native platforms like Dovetail and ChatPRD — and issues a five-minute challenge to get you started this week.
