Who this book is for

This book is for people that aspire to be AI product managers, AI technologists, and entrepreneurs, or for people that are casually interested in the considerations of bringing AI products to life. It should serve you if you’re already working in product management and you have a curiosity about building AI products. It should also serve you if you already work in AI development in some capacity and you’re looking to bring those concepts into the discipline of product management and adopt a more business-oriented role. While some chapters in the book are more technically focused, all of the technical content in the book can be considered beginner level and accessible to all.

Part 1 of this book is meant to serve as an overview of topics spanning the AI landscape overall, types of product that can exist in the space and a glance at the industry as a whole. Part 2 will have more practical, applied content regarding the product management of AI native tools. Part 3 will keep this format, but will focus on transitioning a traditional software product into an AI product. In these two parts, you’ll see more diagrams, flow charts, checklists, and visual aids suitable for a handbook. Finally, Part 4, the newest part of the book, will focus on the management of an AI career itself, serving as a handbook for maturing in the PM role and the pathways you can take with it.
