Book an AI build sprint
You don’t need another blog post. Let’s build together.
“If you’re looking for the promised AI productivity gains everyone’s talking about, start here.”
If you’re reading this, you’re in the top 5% of people using AI agents for real, daily, strategic work. To get your entire team on board, I offer hands-on AI build sprints.
Workshop students include:
Director of Product at Google AI Labs
Head of Engineering at Amazon Web Services
VP Product at Fidelity Investments
CEO of Zapier
I’ve led workshops for product leaders at Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google, Netflix, Stripe, Oracle, McKinsey, General Motors, Siemens, Walmart, Visa, JP Morgan Chase, Nike, Kaiser Permanente, and a range of hyper-growth startups.
They all shared the same goal: AI transformation outcomes.
For those who want efficiency, structure, and support, AI build sprints provide:
A butts-in-seat deadline and a trained team to get you unblocked, to truly get through all this.
The freshest stuff (I learn faster than we can publish) plus curated external resources and a Slack community for ongoing discussion
Hours of live, direct access, abundant open Q&A, and my personal Whatsapp forever (yes me, no not 🦞)
For companies
I offer dedicated, tailored AI build sprints for companies.
“I’ve been driving a decision on our [redacted] feature and my copilot has been such a huge help. I used it heavily to write a DACI grounded in user feedback and data I analyzed with MCP.
…once a decision was made, I continued to use it to create a prototype and research implementation. It’s been a really helpful tool to increase my leverage without having to rely on Design and Engineering right off the bat. Good way to do solo exploration as a PM.” - Product Manager
Capstone and outcomes:
Every participant builds a fully working, individually-tailored AI copilot that they’ll actually use addictively (not theoretical—we build it live together)
PMs use AI for the hard stuff: strategic decisions, data analysis, discovery, difficult conversations, AI prototyping, and planning AI agents
Teams develop intuition to adapt to any future AI advancement (not just learn today’s trendy tools)
“Recently had to put together a strategy doc for 2 of my squads. My AI had so much context from my 1x1s, meetings, JIRA, Coda that it saved me tons of hours getting to a first draft I could review with my team.” - Product manager
“Weekly product board updates used to take me multiple hours, now it takes about 15 minutes and it’s more detailed and reliable.” - Product manager
Why this approach works:
The bottleneck on using AI at work isn’t intelligence—it’s context. Just like onboarding a brilliant new team member, AI needs proper company context to be useful. The sprint’s three-layer framework ensures AI becomes valuable for every part of a knowledge worker’s day:
Tailored instructions aligned with your company values and role expectations
Rich product/company knowledge that sharply focuses AI outputs
Initiative-specific conversations with regular updates and feedback loops
“I had to write a few one-pagers that encapsulated disparate call transcripts as well as information in Slack and Coda, which my co-pilot was able to flawlessly gather as context.
I then had a first draft that only required a bit of back and forth to finalize. Saved me hours plus was an enjoyable workflow I’m repeating often now…. Picking one powerful AI tool and going deep is one of the biggest capability unlocks.”
- Product manager
What makes this approach transformative is that participants don’t just learn techniques/trendy tools, they develop habits and intuition to tinker and explore new ways to use AI. They develop the confidence to adapt to any future AI advancement.
📫 To discuss a build sprint for your team, contact Dennis Zavolock at dennis@talraviv.co. We tailor each build sprint based on role expectations, product principles, vision/strategy, and areas where the org wants to level up. We’ll start by discussing where your team is at today with AI.
For individuals
Build AI Product Sense (2025-present)
My workshop with Aman Khan hit #1 when it launched. Get notified when the next cohort opens for enrollment.

Build Your Personal AI Copilot (2024-25)
My original Maven course was also chosen by Lenny as “top course in product.” See what students had to say:
“After completing three Reforge cohorts and several other PM courses, I can confidently say that your course has had the most direct and immediate impact on my growth as a product manager.”
These days this workshop is only available to companies. I realized that the biggest impact comes from getting everyone in an organization to the starting line at the same time.
