You’re watching everyone else confidently use AI while you’re still trying to figure out what’s real versus hype. AI influencers confuse you with proclamations, infographics, and jargon.AI education shouldn’t be designed to go viral on X, it should be concrete, hands-on, and designed for busy leaders.Hi 👋 I’m Tal. I know how overwhelming it feels when everyone’s hyping features, and nobody’s showing real work.Social feeds and news digests won’t give you AI intuition. Real, daily work with AI will: data analysis, difficult conversations, prototyping, and strategic thinking.I’ve helped product managers from Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Stanford build their AI product sense by using AI for complex, innovative tasks at work. I’ve been a guest on Lenny’s podcast and featured three times in his newsletter. Over 20,000 product people have joined my live workshops.Once you weave AI into your daily work, AI products stop feeling like magic. You’ll develop the pattern recognition to cut through any demo, spot hype instantly, and feel like you’re on the inside instead of watching from outside.
