A weekend guide for product managers returning to work in an AI world — whether you're on leave, between jobs, or just taking a beat.
No spam. One ebook. A few honest follow-ups.
The problem
If you're stepping back from work right now — maternity or family leave, between jobs, laid off, on sabbatical, or just taking a beat — there's a good chance this thought has crossed your mind: "I'm going to go back and everything will be different."
You're not wrong. The AI space is moving fast — new tools, new workflows, new expectations. The default reaction is to sign up for a course. Or five.
Everything's changing while you're offline.
Courses feel overwhelming — and outdated by the time they ship.
You don't have time to 'learn AI' from scratch.
You don't need more content. You need confidence.
And the fastest way to build confidence is to build something real.
The shift
As a PM, you already know how to identify problems, scope MVPs, and think in terms of users and outcomes. That's the hard part. What's changed is this: you no longer need to wait on engineering to see something come to life.
Skip the theory marathon. Build something small, end-to-end, in a weekend.
Use ChatGPT, Lovable, and Claude as thinking and building partners — not another subject to study.
Go from a tiny annoying problem to a working product, without writing a line of engineering code.
Inside the guide
A weekend playbook — written for PMs, not engineers. No fluff, no 12-hour video course.
The weekend plan
Block a weekend. Nap times count. Even a few focused hours at night works.
Something small, slightly annoying, and real. Not a startup idea.
Use AI to scope screens, inputs, and outputs. Smallest version that solves it.
Move into Lovable. Iterate by prompt. Send it to one person before bed.
The guide
Send me the guide and I'll share it now — plus the next pieces as I publish them.
No spam. Unsubscribe whenever.
Coming next
If this was useful, I'm going deeper next. No drip campaigns — just the next piece when it's ready.
One real product, captured from idea to ship.
Copy-paste prompts that move you from blank page to working app.
What's worth your weekend time — and what isn't.
