Innovation Lab Snapshot: Essential AI Tools for Product Management Success

Overview:

Product managers no longer need to wait for development resources to bring their ideas to life. This virtual mini-session demonstrates how four AI tools can transform you into a one-person product powerhouse. You'll learn to build functional prototypes without coding, create compelling product videos for market testing, and maximize the potential of large language models for product strategy. Join us for hands-on demonstrations of Claude, Gemini, Notion, and Bolt in action. Discover how to rapidly prototype your concepts, test market viability through AI-generated content, organize and prioritize your product ideas, and establish thought leadership—all without traditional technical barriers.

• This session sets the stage for deeper exploration with Mike at the PDMA Ignite Innovation Summit, September 13-16 in Chicago, IL.
• Open to all, no Summit registration required.

Key Takeaways:

1. Apply LLM prompting strategies to extract maximum value from conversational AI tools for product ideation, market analysis, and competitive intelligence.
2. Identify which AI tools enable rapid prototype development without coding skills and apply them to transform product concepts into testable demos.
3. Recognize opportunities to use AI-generated videos and content for early market validation before committing significant development resources.
4. Define systematic approaches for documenting, organizing, and prioritizing product ideas using AI-powered knowledge management tools like Notion.
