My top 54 PM AI guides, in one place, for free
In the year since my podcast with Lenny I’ve published 70+ AI tutorials for product people, all for free (I love making these). Since there’s so many, I’ve organized my favorites by career goal, below.
I’m feeling overwhelmed just looking at this, so remember 1) most are a few minutes and 2) follow your curiosity and click on what brings you joy.
I don’t paywall knowledge, so all the links below are yours. Tomorrow’s workshop offers outcomes.
For some of you, the knowledge is the outcome: you’ll work through this and learn by trial and error. For those who want structure, efficiency, and support our workshop provides:
Butt-in-seat accountability and our trained team to get you unblocked, to ensure you get through all of it
The freshest stuff, (I learn faster than I can publish, and you also get Aman who I learn so much from) plus curated external resources and a Slack community for ongoing discussion.
10 live hours with Aman Khan and me, abundant open Q&A, and my personal Whatsapp forever (yes me, no not 🦞)
Get $375 off tomorrow’s cohort with promo code ”outcomes”. You can also book an AI build sprint for your team.
Whether you join us live or dig into the links, I’d love to know know how to make this more valuable for you - hit reply for my personal gmail.

PS If you’re currently unemployed or a university student, Aman and I have something for you.
