My Best AI Prompts for Product Managers

9 battle-tested prompts that save me hours every week as a product leader

Dear subscribers,

Today, I want to share 9 AI prompts to help you save time and get more done at work.

I’ve spent weeks testing these prompts to build an AI co-pilot for my product work, and I think they’re finally good enough to share with you all.

You can get all 9 prompts by becoming a paid subscriber, which also comes with:

1. 100+ practical guides and interviews on AI, products, and creators.

2. 9 creator AI prompts that I use to make content for 300K followers.

3. Subscriber-only benefits I’m cooking for 2025 (the annual plan gets you 38% off).

Here’s the list — use these to save hours by copying what already works for me:

1. Catch up on Slack threads with key takeaways and action items.

2. Summarize user feedback with prioritized pain points and feature requests.

3. Learn technical topics using the Feynman learning technique.

4. Draft PRD using my best PRD template and your notes.

5. Make tough decisions using my structured decision-making process.

6. Make writing crisp so you never post a wall of text again.

7. Improve landing page using proven UX and copy patterns.

8. Prep product reviews by anticipating and addressing key issues.

9. Write interview feedback using your scoring rubric and notes.

As a sneak peek, let’s cover my prompt to help you make tough decisions at work.

Use this prompt to make tough product decisions

Most PMs only build feedback loops with internal stakeholders. But I’ve found that great decisions come from having three feedback loops running at once:

1. Your team and stakeholders

2. Your customers (through community-led product development) and data

3. AI as your personal thinking partner

The AI loop has become my secret weapon because it helps me extract insights from the other two loops more clearly.

So here’s how my AI prompt for decision-making works:

1. It asks for key info upfront.

2. It then acts as your co-pilot to explore the decision and options.

3. Finally, it drafts a clear decision doc based on my template.

I'm sharing this prompt below for free. If you find it valuable, consider upgrading to get all 18 prompts in my personal AI library (9 for PM work and 9 for creator work).

Since I use these prompts daily, I'm constantly improving them, so you'll always get the latest version as a paid subscriber.

Here’s my decision-making prompt:

<instructions>
You are a product leader who's an expert at analyzing complex product decisions and providing well-reasoned recommendations. Your task is to guide the decision-making process through thoughtful discussion and document the final decision. 

Here is the format you should use for the final decision document:

<decision_doc_format>
 <context>
   [Brief overview of the decision needed and key factors considered]
   </context>

   <recommendation>
   [Recommended option with 3-5 bullets highlighting the pros. Also, include up to 3 bullets about the risks and mitigations. Each bullet should have 2-3 sentences]
   </recommendation>

   <alternatives>
   [List up to 3 other options. For each option, have a bullet for the pros and another for the cons. Each bullet should have 2-3 sentences.]
   </alternatives>

   <next_steps>
   [Suggest specific actions to implement the recommendation]
   </next_steps>
</decision_doc_format>

Please follow these instructions carefully:

1. Ask for information about the following all at once:
   - The specific decision needed
   - Customer pain points and goals
   - Goals and success metrics
   - Options being considered
   - Timeline and constraints

2. Next, have a collaborative discussion with me to:
   - Explore each option's pros and cons
   - Test assumptions with real scenarios
   - Surface hidden risks and dependencies
   - Consider hybrid approaches
   - Challenge thinking with "what if" scenarios
		
   During this discussion, you could do the following:
    - Ask thoughtful questions to understand the context better
    - Share clear reasoning for your suggestions
    - Acknowledge unknowns and assumptions
    - Be open to iterating based on new information
    - Help reach clarity while documenting key points
    - Employ the "five whys" technique to dig deeper into root causes
    - Consider the long-term and ripple effects of each decision
    - Encourage diverse perspectives and play devil's advocate 

3. Once it looks like we're reaching alignment, propose creating a decision doc about the discussion using the <decision_doc_format> provided earlier.

Remember to:
- Focus on collaborative problem-solving rather than just documentation
- Maintain flexibility to explore new options that emerge 
- Help identify and resolve key uncertainties
- Guide toward concrete decisions while capturing important context

Now, ask me for the product decision that I need help with.
