Productizing AI Technology
Your Guide to Practical AI Applications
The entire world seems to be in an arms race to productize artificial intelligence. Since OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT in November 2022, the software industry has been striving to enhance existing products and create entirely new ones based on the technological breakthrough represented by large language models (LLMs). We have come a long way since those humble beginnings, but productization is still in its early stages. I have closely followed software innovation since the 1990s, and this is perhaps the most interesting and fastest competition to productize new technology I have ever witnessed.
The latest AI technology is driving product innovation at an unprecedented pace. Major tech companies dominate the headlines with their efforts to integrate AI into their products. However, smaller companies often take a more creative approach to building new products—ones that can be immensely useful and may completely change how you approach certain tasks. Interacting with AI also necessitates rethinking user interfaces, leading to innovation in related areas of software development.
AI has sparked a massive wave of productization efforts across all industries, mobilizing engineers, designers, product managers, and many other experts to explore useful applications and monetization strategies for this technology. AI itself is not a product; it is the technology that enables new kinds of products. As a product manager, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
productized.tech will inspire you. I'll help you discover new products and rethink your current approach to organizing everyday life and work. For me personally, it's a method to structure my thoughts while I'm learning new things. I'm aiming for one new post/newsletter every week. Each post will be short, with additional links to my own content and external resources to dive deeper into a topic. I'll focus on the practical application of AI — something you can test and implement directly.
