ChatGPT Integration with InsideSpin
As a validation of AI-augmented article writing, InsideSpin has integrated ChatGPT to help flesh out unfinished articles at the moment they are requested. If you have been a past InsideSpin user, you may have noticed not all articles are fully fleshed out. While every article has a summary, only about half are fleshed out. Decisions about what to finish has been based on user interest over the years. With this POC, ChatGPT will use the InsideSpin article summary as the basis of the prompt, and return an expanded article adding insight from its underlying model. The instances are being stored for later analysis to choose one that best represents the intent of InsideSpin which the author can work with to finalize. This is a trial of an AI-augmented approach.

AI for Product Teams
Over the last 30 years or so, the number of coders has grown dramatically to accommodate professional needs. Starting below a million in the US in the early 90’s, it is estimated there are well over 30 million professional software engineers as we head into 2025. That count does not include the millions and millions of web development tool users managing their own needs, with little formal coding training, relying on tools such as WordPress, HubSpot, Spotify, GoDaddy, and AWS to generate the templated code that is needed.
For anyone who has used AI coding tools like CoPilot from GitHub, it is easy to see that AI tools thrive generating code. They are largely semantic language engines after all. Given most coding languages are meant to be semantically unambiguous for a computer to execute the code properly, the sophistication AI embodies to understand and generate ambiguous spoken languages like English is largely left unneeded. Code generating tools still suffer from garbage-in/garbage out risks (as do AI chat tools like ChatGPT). This is where AI-augmented skills for human operators (you and me) become critical, to get the value you want to realize, and possibly, to preserve the jobs.
The Role of Product Management
For Product managers, the essence of the Product role is the synthesis of streams of requirements (input) to create the output an Engineering team can use to economically build, and a business can take to market to generate revenue. The more unambiguous and consistent the output a Product team can produce, the more likely coders and sales teams will be able to meet the needs identified.
While there is a general risk of homogenization of thought and approach as we become dependent on AI (as there was with spreadsheets in Finance long ago), the benefit for Product is alignment, consistency, and completeness of analysis from the generated artifacts produced over time.
Transforming Roles in Technology
Coders and Product managers are two of the areas most ripe to be transformed through comprehensive adoption of AI. Jobs will change, and it is essential for professionals in these roles to understand how to migrate their talents to areas where AI will drive them. Here are some key considerations:
- Embrace Continuous Learning: As AI tools evolve, so should the skills of Product managers and coders. Engaging in regular training and upskilling will be vital to stay relevant.
- Collaboration with AI: Leveraging AI tools can enhance productivity. Understanding how to work alongside these tools will allow professionals to focus on higher-level strategic decision-making.
- Adaptability: The technology landscape is continuously changing. Being open to new methodologies and approaches will enable teams to better integrate AI into their workflows.
The Benefits of AI Integration
Integrating AI within product teams can yield several significant advantages:
- Enhanced Efficiency: Automating routine tasks allows Product managers to devote more time to strategic initiatives.
- Data-Driven Decisions: AI can analyze vast datasets quickly, providing insights that inform better decision-making.
- Improved User Experience: AI tools can help in refining products based on user feedback, ultimately leading to higher satisfaction rates.
Conclusion
As we move forward, the integration of AI into product teams will be inevitable. By understanding the challenges and opportunities that come with this change, professionals can position themselves to thrive in a technology-driven environment. Embracing AI not only enhances productivity but also ensures that teams remain competitive in an ever-evolving landscape.
Ultimately, the goal is to harness the power of AI while preserving the unique human elements that drive innovation and creativity within technology businesses.
