AI killed the 10 page PRD. But the PRD isn't dead.

Here's how to write PRDs in the AI age:

Companies like Google are shifting to a build-first culture. And it's good. AI prototyping tools have completely changed the game, blurring role lines.

But that doesn't mean the PRD has no purpose!

The modern PRD is lighter, sharper, and example heavy.

You want to code with AI.

But you don't know what tool to use.

Here's your guide on when to use which AI coding tools:

(+ free resources to learn each)

1: Cursor

They surpassed $500M ARR for a reason. Your developer probably uses it. It's great for pros - but it's also great for non-technical folks now, as its agent can build things just via natural language.

Free guide:

2: Windsurf

Despite losing most of its technical staff to Google, Windsurf still exists. Now a part of Cognition (makers of Devin), it's great for non-technical people to deal with large code bases.

Free tutorial:

There's a new PM interview in town.

But most PMs don't know it yet.

Last week, a PM messaged me in panic:

"I just got destroyed in a Google interview. They wanted me to prototype something with AI tools. I'd never even heard of 'vibe coding' before."

Here's what happening:

This isn't isolated. I'm coaching more PMs who are blindsided by this new interview format every week.

Here's what's happening behind the scenes:

The nature of the PM role is undergoing its biggest shift in years.

We're now moving to the era of AI PMs.

Companies are looking for PMs who can:

1. Build AI features (understanding evals & tech details)
2. Use AI to focus on high-leverage tasks
3. Prototype with AI tools like pros

And their interviews are changing to match.

At Google, this is only in India (for now).

>50% of PM interviews now ask metrics questions.

But not all metrics questions are the same.

5 categories + 16 sub-categories to know:

𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 (𝟮𝟭% 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀)

Three major flavors here:

Product launch success: Measuring launching GPT-5.

Feature success: Measuring a mobile payment feature.

Business model success: What would you look at if we launched a marketplace?

𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 (𝟮𝟮% 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀)

Investigating issues when metrics drop.

Sudden drops: IG Stories dropped 5% overnight. Approach?

Gradual declines: Monthly retention declining 6 mos. Why?

Unexpected changes: Feature 30% → 60% engagement. WDYD?
