AI/ML Simulator for Product Managers
The last couple of years have been rich in news about AI.
And this year, we were excited to present our AI/ML Simulator for Product Managers.
With AI, the key question is not how to implement it, but rather where are the opportunities for AI to generate value for users and business?
And as businesses are more and more eager to implement AI/ML solutions, the demand for product managers with the relevant skills and expertise surges.
To help PMs acquire this expertise, we created our course. It’s not a plain theory with a bunch of examples—as a student, you’ll be immersed in a compelling story of a business trying to fight one crisis after another and pave the way to success. Navigating the plot twists, you’ll be the one who connects the dots between what the company and its customers need and what AI/ML have to offer.
The first live cohort of our AI/ML Simulator
Though all our courses are self-paced, we’ve added an option to complete this particular simulator in a group with a mentor. AI/ML can be challenging, and having guidance makes applying the course’s insights to real-life problems easier.
The first group has already successfully completed the AI/ML Simulator!
The groups are mentored by Ben Dickson, a seasoned engineer and tech blogger, who carefully guides students throughout the program.
We’ll be in touch about new groups, so you won’t miss the announcement!
And even more AI…
This year, we have also introduced our mini simulator for those interested in boosting their skills in the GenAI field. This short course teaches how to apply generative AI to create products and automate processes through solving a practical business case.
To date, almost 5 thousand people have enrolled in our mini simulator!

➡️ Jobs to Be Done: comparing different frameworks
Though there’s an original theory about people hiring products for a job in their lives, it’s still not a stand-alone framework. There are several of those.
We’ve researched the topic thoroughly and found key differences between frameworks based on the Jobs to Be Done theory.
➡️ AI/ML in product development: a series
Implementing AI/ML in products is not a cakewalk. To help make the right decisions on this journey, we’ve published several articles covering the most challenging aspects of using AI/ML in products.

➡️ Switching to product management
We’ve also added several materials for those seeking to switch to product management.
