Classical product frameworks like funnels, flows, and personas are limited when faced with the chaos of real human behavior that AI has revealed.
AI has uncovered the complexity and unpredictability of user behavior, highlighting the need for new approaches in product design.
Shift from defining users to understanding their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral movements in real-time to create adaptive systems.
Proposes treating products as state machines that respond, adapt, predict, and learn based on user states and behaviors.
AI tools enable PMs to build responsiveness by inferring user states, suggesting personalized actions, detecting shifts, and running micro-experiments.
Emphasizes the importance of observing user behavior in real-time over traditional planning methods in dynamic systems.
Utilizing AI for emotional precision, timing, and trust in product design to create a more engaging and alive user experience.
Measuring the health of the system and the emergence of new user behaviors is prioritized over conventional product metrics.
Moving towards orchestrating evolving systems rather than optimizing individual features, emphasizing coherence over control.
AI challenges product thinking by necessitating a shift from speed to structure and from optimization to orchestration.
