AI PM — keep-up stack & craft reps (backlog)
Context: Enterprise AI PM (fintech / capital markets) shipping assistants, agents, workflow automation.
Already in place
- Daily AI news digest (ai-compass)
- Daily X Following recap (ai-compass)
- Weekly: AI Platform Deltas brief (ai-compass) — scheduled
Backlog ideas (to implement later)
1) Weekly “Model + Platform Delta” review → plus your POV notes
Purpose: turn news into shipping-relevant decisions.
Automation (ai-compass brief) can provide:
- Deltas that matter
- Implications for enterprise AI PMs
- Suggested experiments
- Watchlist
Optional add-on (private):
- “Reflection prompts” section (or a separate private note) so you can write:
- What I believe now
- What I’ll try next week
2) Tiny eval habit (1–2 hrs/week)
Purpose: build opinions backed by measurement.
Implementation options:
- Create a small eval harness repo (or folder inside ai-compass) with:
- 30–100 representative tasks (domain-specific)
- scoring rubric
- baseline prompts
- model/provider configuration
- Weekly routine:
- test one change (prompt/model/tool/UI)
- log results + failure modes
Potential automation:
- Generate an “Eval Run Log” MDX (or JSON) weekly with:
- what changed
- metrics snapshot
- notable failures
3) AI product / UX pattern library (and anti-patterns)
Purpose: codify craft so you can reuse it across products.
Suggested structure:
- Pattern name
- Problem
- When to use
- Implementation notes
- Risks / failure modes
- Enterprise/fintech notes (audit, controls, data handling)
Examples to cover:
- Onboarding to first successful outcome
- Uncertainty UX & calibrating confidence
- Human-in-the-loop approvals
- Safe tool execution defaults
- Cost/latency budgeting and user-visible controls
- Incident handling (bad answer recovery)
4) One deep thread per week (depth over feeds)
Purpose: develop non-consensus POV.
Rotation candidates:
- Agents/tool execution + permissions
- Reliability engineering for LLM systems
- RAG/knowledge systems + freshness
- Data flywheels/feedback loops
- Enterprise procurement/security/compliance
- Regulation, privacy, and auditability
Output template:
- 1-page synthesis:
- core idea
- what changed my mind
- implications for our product choices
5) Weekly teardown of 1 AI product (20–30 min)
Purpose: reps on product judgment.
Teardown template:
- User & JTBD
- Where AI creates value vs risk
- Trust + cost + latency tradeoffs
- Wedge + why now
- What I’d copy / avoid
Potential automation:
- Maintain a
content/teardowns/section in ai-compass.
6) Operator signal (talk to people running AI in prod)
Purpose: see what breaks in real deployments.
Track:
- reliability incidents
- cost spikes
- tool execution failures
- governance/audit issues
- model/vendor regressions
Potential automation:
- A “Reliability & Ops Watch” monthly roundup (public sources only).
7) Monthly POV memo (1–2 pages)
Purpose: crystallize your point of view and improve communication.
Prompts:
- What’s overhyped and why?
- What’s underappreciated and why?
- What’s inevitable next?
- What would I build in 30 days and why?
Potential automation:
- Draft-only memo scaffold with placeholders + links; you fill in the POV.
Questions to decide later
- Preferred cadence for POV memo (monthly vs biweekly)?
- Should teardowns be public in ai-compass or private?
- Which eval harness format (simple rubric spreadsheet vs scripted harness)?
- Key enterprise constraints to bake into every brief (SOC2, data retention, model residency, audit trails)?
