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.
The Rise of AI in Coding
For anyone who has used AI coding tools like CoPilot from GitHub, it is easy to see that AI tools thrive at 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 jobs.
The Role of Product Managers
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 the Workforce
Coders and Product managers are two of the areas most ripe to be transformed through comprehensive adoption of AI. As the landscape of technology evolves, it is crucial for professionals in these roles to adapt and embrace the changes AI brings.
The Changing Nature of Jobs
Jobs will change, and it is imperative to explore how to migrate your talents to where AI drives them. This transformation will involve:
- Upskilling in AI tools and technologies.
- Understanding data analytics to leverage insights.
- Fostering collaboration between AI and human intelligence.
- Adapting to a more agile working environment.
Embracing AI as an Ally
Rather than viewing AI as a threat, professionals in technology should see it as a valuable ally. The relationship between AI and Product teams should be symbiotic, fostering innovation and improving efficiency. By embracing AI tools, Product managers can:
- Enhance decision-making processes through data-driven insights.
- Streamline workflows and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.
- Focus more on strategic initiatives and less on routine operations.
Conclusion
The integration of AI into the technology sector is not just a trend; it represents a fundamental shift in how products are developed and managed. As we look toward the future, it is essential for entrepreneurs and leaders within technology businesses to recognize the challenges and opportunities presented by AI. By adapting to these changes, Product teams can not only survive but thrive in an increasingly automated landscape.
In conclusion, the journey toward leveraging AI effectively in technology businesses will require openness to learning, a willingness to adapt, and a commitment to maintaining a human touch in product development.
