AI-assisted responses are creeping into product interviews! 😬

To spot it: look for long pauses, overly structured answers, and unwavering screen focus. Stay sharp, interviewers!

GPT 4.5/5 update

GPT4.5 is next, and also last non-CoT model

GPT5 will unify the o3 series with the GPT series

all tiers will have GPT5 access, the difference being “intelligence level” (thinking time)

expect within weeks/months

A roadmap is not a plan; it is a statement of direction and strategy, serving as evidence of strategy rather than a list of features or commitments.

We need more AI builders. It's easy to consume, use, admire and talk about it, but 2025 is the time to start unlocking AI's full potential. Don't be afraid of it.

I don't know who created this graph, but it's spot on.

The “Product Square” team. Would love to spend most of my day with the customer, but that’s just not possible. I’ll be looking for a trusted colleague who’s very close to the customer and “gets” Product on an upcoming project.
Are you hip enough to be square? Adam Dille from Quantum Metric is, and he wants you to know that the "Product Trio" is no longer fit for purpose & we need to expand it. We spoke about what that means in this latest podcast episode…

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Nice list - will give them a try. Been thinking about the “Scalability of One” after hearing on a podcast - one person can scale to launch/support an entire company with tools like this. Not there yet, but the building blocks are being built.

We go deep on this "simple but not simplistic" approach to prioritization in my prioritization workshop.

The key trick is decoupling things that we commonly couple (like value and urgency, or value and effort) maven.com/john-cutler/...
