About this episode
Diego Granados discusses the realities of building AI products and the evolving role of product managers in the age of AI.
In this episode of The Agile Academy Podcast, Diego Granados joins Vivek to talk honestly about what it is really like to build AI products at companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Google, and why this moment in AI is such a big deal for product people. Diego shares how he went from having no technical background to leading AI products, and how that journey led him to co author The AI Product Playbook. Diego and Vivek dig into the fears many product managers, business analysts, and product owners have about being replaced by AI, and reframe AI as a tool that multiplies your impact rather than eliminates your role. They walk through concrete examples of how AI can supercharge analysis, strategy, and communication, and why the product managers who know how to use these tools will outpace those who ignore them.
