Module details

Welcome to AI for Product Discovery and Strategy! This course will equip you to harness artificial intelligence to uncover hidden opportunities and shape the future of your products. Through practical techniques and real-world applications, you'll learn to transform data into insights, turning ideas into impactful, strategic innovations. In this module, you'll begin by using generative AI to understand your target audience. Product owners or managers are responsible for developing your product strategy, market analysis, and competitor research to create a data-driven product vision. In the past, these tasks required a lot of manual work. Many teams relied on their intuition and gut feelings instead of an objective analysis of the data. AI helps you drive data-driven prioritization by quickly analyzing all available data to uncover the insights needed to make informed decisions. Let’s see how.
