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 in generating code. They are largely semantic language engines, after all. Given that 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.
Addressing the Challenges
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.
- Alignment: AI can help ensure that all team members are on the same page, which is crucial for successful product development.
- Consistency: By utilizing AI-driven tools, Product teams can generate consistent outputs, reducing the possibility of errors.
- Completeness of Analysis: Over time, AI can help in producing comprehensive analyses, making it easier to identify gaps in requirements.
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 benefits for Product teams are significant. The alignment, consistency, and completeness of analysis from the generated artifacts produced over time can lead to better decision-making and more successful outcomes.
Transforming Roles: Coders and Product Managers
Coders and Product managers are two areas most ripe for transformation through comprehensive adoption of AI. The landscape of these roles is changing, and it is essential for professionals to adapt to these changes. As AI continues to evolve, the skills required for coders and Product managers will also shift.
Embracing Change
Jobs will change, and it is crucial to explore how to migrate your talents to where AI drives them. This involves:
- Upskilling: Learning new tools and techniques that leverage AI to enhance productivity.
- Collaboration: Working more closely with AI tools to complement human skills rather than replace them.
- Innovation: Using AI-generated insights to drive creativity and develop new solutions.
The integration of AI into the workflow of Product teams and coders presents an opportunity for growth and improvement. Professionals in these fields must embrace the changes that AI brings, leveraging its capabilities to enhance their work rather than viewing it as a threat.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the rise of AI in the technology sector is reshaping the roles of coders and Product managers. While challenges exist, the potential for increased alignment, consistency, and completeness in product development is significant. As we move closer to 2025, it is essential for professionals to adapt and thrive in this new landscape, ensuring that their skills evolve in tandem with technological advancements.
