Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools for Product Managers (PM)

To become a more efficient Product Manager, it’s essential to use tools to speed up certain processes or even automate them. For this reason, I’m always trying new tools to determine whether they can genuinely assist me or if they are merely another example of shiny object syndrome.

My goal is to keep an up-to-date reference of tools I’ve used that are specific tailored for Product Management, so I won’t list generic tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Fabric or LLM.

ChatPRD

I have mainly used the ChatGPT plugin version. It’s great to have more tailored answers for PM from ChatGPT without having to do a lot of prompt engineering.

There is also a standalone version that requires payment and offers some appealing features, such as a Document view and PRD templates. However, at this time, I don’t believe that paying USD $5 per month justifies the value for my needs. In this version, I have some concerns regarding privacy. Since all data is used to improve the product, and considering it is a small startup, it is unclear what measures they take to ensure data security. The increasing risk of data breaches from AI startups is a big risk, specially if it could expose a significant amount of sensitive information related to a company’s product strategy.

LennyBot

Lenny’s Podcast and Lenny’s Newsletter are at the top of my list of the best content about Product Management. When I’ve learned that Lenny created a ChatBot with the content from his Podcast and Newsletter, I got very excited.

I mainly use it as a starting point to study more about a topic, reading each one of the references to dive deeper into a concept or theme. This is where the tool shines for me, being able to aggregate knowledge from different real life Product Management professionals in just one place.

GPT PM Recruiter

When I was looking for a tool to help me prepare for a Product Management interview, I came across an edition of the The Product Compass newsletter that showed a demo for the GPT PM Recruiter, a ChatGPT plugin to be mainly used in voice mode.

As a non-native English speaker, it was a great way to practice my speaking without having to bother someone. I’ve used a couple of times, and it definitively helped me to be more confident during the interviews.

I used it with the ChatGPT app in my smartphone to more easily use the voice mode. One trick that helped me answer each question with more time and without interruptions was to use the “Hold to talk” feature, but it seems that this is missing in the new Advanced Voice Mode.

I hope that this list inspires you to try one of these tools! If you use a tool that I haven’t listed, please leave a comment telling me why you are using it, and I will be happy to test it.
