[Unpolished] AI is supposed to make us more efficient, right? Yeah... about that. 😏

𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸: Write a requirement document.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜:
 1. Write the draft.
 2. Spell-check in Microsoft Word, fix errors one by one.
 3. If it is a client facing document, get a friend or colleague to review as a second pair of eyes.
 4. Publish.
𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘱𝘶𝘵: 𝘈 500-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯, 𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳-𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵: 2 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.

 1. Write the draft.
 2. Get one of the models to review and update.
 3. Publish.
𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘱𝘶𝘵: 400-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘮. 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵: 1 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳.

*𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜):
 1. Casually chat with your AI agent about what you mean in 5 minutes
2. Your agent writes and publishes the document on your behalf.

*𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:
 1. Write the draft.
 2. Feed it to 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 to review, capture and fix any issues. Repeat this step a few times as it may butcher your note or miss things.
 3. Switch to 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 to criticise your work from customer POV as by now you don’t recognise if it was yours, apply feedback, repeat 3x times as it may miss something. Go back to step 2 for proofreading.
 4. Use 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 to do the citation as there are some new references in this document you are not sure if they are correct, capture and update if anything. Repeat 2x times, go back to step 2 for fresh review.
 5. Get 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 to review and consolidate the article as by now it is over 2000 words long.
 6. If it is client facing document, ask 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 to do the deep research and review the tone of the document with your previous ones, go back to step 2 for the final review
 7. As by this point, it includes words you’ve never used in your life, get 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 or other humanizers to review and update, or search for those words in 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲, replace them with words humans actually use.
 8.Exhusted by now? Just publish it anyway.

Sell Me This Pen!

The Scene:   INT. OFFICE – DAY A sleek high-rise office with floor-to-ceiling windows. A formal interview is underway for a role in a Software development team. A table sits between the INTERVIEWER and the CANDIDATE CASTING The INTERVIEWER: Professional, relaxed. Someone who interviews for any role, from a Sales rep to Software Engineer to C-level Executive, inspired by The Wolf of Wall Street , loves asking questions that throw candidates off guard. The CANDIDATE:   Suited up, a bit nervous but composed. A seasoned software professional: Product or Project Manager, Business Analyst, or experienced Software Engineer, ready for whatever the interview throws their way.    ACTION INTERVIEWER:  (smiling confidently) Please sell me this pen! CANDIDATE  (pauses, raises an eyebrow, thinking: “Seriously? For this role?” but decides to roll with it) Sure... that’s a good question. (leans forward slightly, zoomed in on the candidate's face, thinking out loud) B...

The PM’s Copilot: Reclaiming Time with AI

By Ali Vahed

Like many PMs, I didn’t really trust AI for serious product work. I mostly used it for general purposes: polishing emails and notes, drafting messages and creating images from time to time. I used AI in a project only as a second opinion and to validate my discovery work, but that was it. For more on that check my earlier  blog post . While AI felt adequate for technical tasks or copywriting, it didn’t feel reliable for the messy, ambiguous world of product management where curiosity, judgement, and breaking patterns matter most. Then everything shifted. Here is my experience report.

3 "Be"s!

By Ali Vahed
Throughout my career, I’ve learned that true growth comes down to three simple principles: 1. Be Professional Treat every day like it’s your first day on the job. Bring your best, stay curious, and take pride in your work. Whether you're running your own business or part of a team, act like an owner. Like a professional athlete, consistency and commitment matter more than titles. 2. Be in the Game Never stop learning. Stay sharp by reading, observing, and absorbing how others think, work, and adapt. Learn from peers, competitors, and even from mistakes. Curiosity is your edge, so keep it honed. 3. Be Patient "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Tough times will come. Endurance, calm, and resilience will carry you through. Being patient doesn't mean being slow! In the classic tale of the rabbit and the turtle, sometimes it's best to be a bit of both: a “rab-tle”!  **:  Quote by Chinese philosopher Laozi
