Building AI-Powered Products: The Essential Guide to AI and GenAI Product Management Paperback – 28 Feb. 2025

Delighted with the purchase.The book written by Marily Nika guides you through the process of building products with AI, from ideation to rollout.The surprise was also the delivery made a few days early.

Great

This is an amazing resource for any PM that is or wants to move into the AI space. It does cover all the basics, but also touches on advanced themes and comes with plenty of actionable advice and guidance.

I think Dr Nika may have attempted to capture too broad an audience here at the expense of depth.Basic PM fundamentals are covered, too little time spent exploring enterprise examples.There are some useful frameworks and principles buried in here but they would land better if accompanied by specific practical examples.The paperback version frequently references digital links which seems a basic oversight.All in all for a product book, it doesn't seem like much product work went into it for the price point

According to an AI detector 73% of the pages I tested were written with AI.As someone who has been in Product for many many years and has formally studied AI, this book doesn't really teach anything I couldn't have figured out myself. It's mostly regurgitating product methodology and doesn't even go into any detail about AI as a technology, leaving it to the reader to go figure that out on their own. The book does a poor job of aiming at a particular knowledge level and therefore doesn't do well enough at the basics or impress an experienced product person new to AI.Product Management is hard and it's clear that this book is written by someone who doesn't understand the challenges of working in Product in a non-tech-native organisation.Perhaps just another career vanity book with little application in the real world.Stick to learning product IRL and brush up on AI technology on YouTube. Like this book, you could just use GenAI to fill in the gaps
