“The industry is changing, and the role has changed. If until today there was a place for product managers who only dealt with the process, today there is no longer a place. The process is you, and you need to be able to build the product end-to-end.”
“I think that people a lot of people dramatically under undervalue how unique their knowledge is about about specific things that they might be the experts on.”
“If we change our perspective, dig deeper, and truly look for the meaning and value we provide to customers, we can give a lot of new value to our users within existing features.”
“You can't fake user empathy. User interviews are great, design partners are really good, it's important, but in my opinion, it's never really enough if you don't experience the real pains of the users.”
“You always need to understand the company's advantage in this story. Our advantage was having 4,000 customers, that's a huge market, and we worked by word of mouth within our customers.”
“I think that you always have to think about a trial as something that doesn't have a framework. It really doesn't. I wish there was a checklist where I could say, 'Okay, I did this, I did that, everything went well.'”
“You cannot develop agents properly and make this mental shift if you are not, you cannot expect your users, and I'll put it this way, to use agents if you yourself are not accustomed to it and don't understand how this thing works.”
“The core is not the algorithm at all. The algorithm, they have no problem with it, they didn't say it's inaccurate, I don't believe it. The core is, notify me when it's relevant to me, at the right time for me, with the information I want to see.”
