How I embraced AI-native product creation – and what I've learned so far

🎤 Tuomas Pippola, Director of Product Management, F-Secure

What's coming

What happens when AI isn't just another tool in the product development toolbox, but is part of everything from day one?

In this talk, I'll share real-life stories from creating a product AI-native from the start: the business, the product, and the code. Product management, product development, product marketing: product creation.

I'll walk through how AI changed the way we explored ideas, crafted a roadmap, made product decisions, marketed the software product, built software, created UX, and iterated. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Including the pitfalls I wish I'd known about before starting.

This isn't a talk about adding AI features to an existing product. It's about what happens when you rethink the product creation process itself around AI. And beyond how to grow business with AI.

Expect practical lessons, mistakes, surprises, and plenty of things you can take back to your own product teams.

In short: everything you never knew you wanted to know about AI-native product development.
