Overview
We used to think that AI products would win because they had the best AI technology. What we’ve discovered is that great AI is only table stakes. What makes the difference is what always makes a difference: Someone has created a product that meets real user needs.
Marily Nika, GenAI product lead at Google and author of the O’Reilly book Building AI-Powered Products, brings a Silicon Valley insider's perspective to the question of how AI redefines product management. I have lots of questions for Marily, and I’m sure you do too—using the O’Reilly live training infrastructure, I’ll bring them into the conversation throughout.
Join us to explore Marily’s playbook for creating AI-powered products that ground AI technologies in real user needs—featuring case studies from Google, Meta, and OpenAI. We'll discuss the future of product roles and why Marily believes “all PMs will be AI PMs” (plus how professionals can adapt); how to leverage agentic AI and GenAI capabilities while maintaining meaningful human-centric design; how to build organizations that solve problems with AI rather than just using AI; and more.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
