🚀 Exciting Times in Innovation 🚀 I'm thrilled to share that I'm currently working on a POC model combining GenAI with real-time analytics. One fine day, my department head called me into his office and announced that Xerago is hosting an Innovation Initiative, and our Digital Analytics team is participating. I was one of the two people chosen to represent our department. It was an overwhelming honor to be recognized for such an innovation activity. The real joy lies in the opportunity to bring our fantasies to life! Naturally, I jumped at the chance, grateful for the trust placed in me. My department head made it clear: "We're not aiming to win this competition. Instead, let this be a powerful learning experience. Understand what it takes to turn a fantasy into a market-ready product." I loved that mindset. Having a mentor who values growth over results is a true blessing. Our team started brainstorming and came up with seven ideas we believed were fresh and unique. However, during the first review, we realized none of our ideas would work in the real market. This taught me an invaluable lesson: not everything in our minds is feasible. It takes deep research and an understanding of current trends to identify what is truly needed and innovative. Then, a breakthrough moment occurred while talking to our Innovation mentor: "What if our innovation could save time, energy, and money for our clients?" This became the foundation of our project. We presented our idea, problem statement, and theoretical solution. The panel believed in our concept. After extensive discussions about the technical architecture, we began working on our prototype. We're now on our fourth iteration, as the first three didn't work out. This journey has been a profound learning experience. We've faced daily failures, tough moments, and discouraging setbacks. But the fantasy product in our minds kept us going. It inspired us to explore new directions, think outside the box, and ultimately achieve our vision. Curious about what we built? Stay tuned! Our panel will judge our project in front of our colleagues on July 3rd, 2024, at 3 PM. With fingers crossed, we hope it works as we envisioned! I'll share more details post-July 3rd. This could be a significant leap. I'm so happy to share this journey with you all today. 🌟 #Innovation #GenAI #RealTimeAnalytics #Xerago #DigitalAnalytics #GrowthMindset

Q2 Reflections: A Journey Through AI, Robot-Building, and Gin As we reach the year's midpoint, I'm reflecting on an unexpectedly diverse and enriching second quarter. From AI advancements to gin distribution, here's my Q2 journey: AI Observability and Insights I've joined AI Dionic as a part-time product advisor, working at the cutting edge of AI observability with brilliant minds in the industry. I'm learning daily about making AI systems more transparent, accountable, and efficient. I also had the privilege of speaking at the AI Frontier Forum on strategically deploying AI in user journeys. The focus was on identifying optimal points for AI application in business and user processes to enhance customer satisfaction. Tech Advocacy and Empowering Youth My involvement with Tech London Advocates has been rewarding, providing opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration in London's thriving tech ecosystem. I'm also excited about my growing robot-building course for kids and teens. This initiative aims to empower the next generation to shape their future through hands-on tech experience and a vision-led approach to regulatory frameworks. Content Creation and Niche Discovery I'm grateful for the opportunity to write guest content for Marily, offering insights from an AI Product Manager's perspective. A key development this quarter has been identifying my niche: Agentic AI and pattern design. This aligns perfectly with my passion for user journey mapping and process optimization, especially in my work with AI Dionic. An Unexpected Venture: Gin Distribution Surprisingly, I've ventured into the gin business! We've had early successes with Tech London Advocates and are now launching in the UK market through strategic partnerships. This unexpected diversification has sharpened my product management skills beyond tech, providing valuable experience in strategic partnerships, negotiation, and sales. Lessons and Moving Forward There were setbacks, including a UKRI grant rejection and job application disappointments. However, I view these as valuable learning experiences that will prove useful in future endeavors. As we enter the second half of the year, I'm grateful for these diverse experiences and excited for what's ahead. The intersection of AI, product management, and entrepreneurship continues to offer endless growth opportunities. What about you? What have been your key learnings and achievements this quarter? I'd love to hear about your experiences and insights! #AgenticAI #AIStrategy #AIProductManagement #TechAdvocacy #AIObservability

A paradigm shift is happening. We now live in a time where individuals can have an even larger global impact than ever before (with software, and powered by GenAI) requiring only relatively little resources. The opportunity lies with us as product builders to do the right thing and choose the product bets we want to place.. I'm feeling really energized and inspired by the talks at yesterday's Connect Ventures summit! Some really great conversations about building products that are #lovedbymany with a real purpose and story behind them such as Finisterre or Olio • Share More, Waste Less. Big thanks to Pietro, Katy, Sitar and the rest of the team for bringing such a great pool of people together including the inspiring speakers Gabriel Hubert, Bronwen Foster-Butler, Andreas Klinger, Soleio, Mike Hudack, Saasha Celestial-One, Kaushik Subramanian, Azmat Yusuf, Luca Martinetti, and David Okuniev! Very insightful lessons were shared! At Quench.ai we believe that in an age of content abundance, discovery is key; so we're building software that brings the right balance of human-generated content, matched with GenAI’s power as an effective coach, to help learners upskill, all in a personalized way. Finally, in the words of Mike Hudack, and a quote that stuck with me from yesterday.. "building new things is really difficult so you have to make it meaningful. It has to come from a place of love." #genai #lovedbymany #product #productdesign #purpose
