I was quite disappointed by the book's content and its overall approach. Although it covers many aspects of product development, the discussion is very superficial. This book might offer basic insights for someone completely new to product management and AI, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it lacks practical value. Despite claims of including numerous use cases and real-world examples, their coverage is too brief and superficial to be of any real benefit. Additionally, the writing style is dull and lacks engagement, suggesting it might have been generated by AI without any effort to inject personality or liveliness into the text.
Overall a Good Read. I truly appreciate the efforts the Authors are putting along with their full time jobs and family.
For Somebody Landing to such a book would want to know: 1. Difference between traditional product management vs AI Product management- shift in spectrum and paradigm. metrics, product market fit, 2. Difference in serving AI Products to B2B and B2C 3. GTM strategies for AI Products in context of B2B and B2C, challenges faced, real cases studies, Why some products are succeeding and some are failing etc
What's Good? 1. "Body of Knowledge"-The Book touch basis on all the points above. Gives basic body of knowledge to navigate the above concerns. 2. Ease of Readability and Absorbability- is good, no much beating around the bush.
What's Not So Good? And how it could be better. 1. "Prefer Quality of Case Studies rather than Quantity" : The Book offers case studies but are some what shallow. They authors do mention that "This case study is an interpretative analysis and may not encompass all factors" however as a reader I would prefer quality over quantity of case studies. For eg the case study on "PLG Iceberg and the Canva Growth Story" had some meat, neat explanations with figures. The same could be applied to other case studies. For eg why Kite Failed where as GitHub's copilot succeeding could be deep and elaborated to get the real meat. Thus empower Product Managers to learn from case studies and have a well rounded understanding. 2. A real end to end case study of an AI Product from Competitive Analysis, Design, Dev to Growth and Marketing could be explained. It helps in getting a feel of the Journey. 3. Stickiness Element is Missing- The Book while touches base on all aspects, after the read, one does not feel he has levelled up in his knowledge quotient. This may depend on the current level the reader is, however driving home a point couldn't be seen.
Thanks again to the Authors and I hope this book and the review helps potential product managers out there.
Based on the style -a lot of bullet points and small paragraphs-this book was also “built with generative AI”. Some interesting links and ideas to follow up, especially about “hallucinations”, but overall very shallow and a lot of name dropping without substance.
A very easy & quick read (took me less than a day) on the general AI space, with a detailed breakdown on top players, principals, as well as best practices. Will lend this for other PM friends to read and it's good to have a holistic understanding.
This book left me disappointed. It’s neither wide, nor deep, which renders it practically inapplicabile. It’s like reading a never ending series od superficial linkedin posts.
