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 on 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. The synergy between human creativity and AI efficiency can lead to innovative solutions and improved productivity.
Challenges in 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.
- Alignment: AI can help align product requirements with the engineering team's capabilities.
- Consistency: AI can ensure that product documentation remains consistent across different versions.
- Completeness: AI tools can help ensure that no critical requirements are missed during the product development phase.
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 areas most ripe to be transformed through comprehensive adoption of AI. As tools become more sophisticated, the roles will evolve, necessitating a shift in skills and approaches. Understanding how to leverage AI will be crucial for success in these positions.
Migration of Skills
Jobs will change, and it is essential to explore how to migrate your talents to where AI drives them. Here are some suggested strategies:
- Upskilling: Engage in continuous learning to understand AI tools and their applications in your field.
- Collaboration: Foster collaboration between product teams and engineering teams to better utilize AI capabilities.
- Innovation: Use AI to identify new opportunities for product development and improvements.
The intersection of AI and product management holds great potential for innovation and efficiency. By embracing AI technologies, product teams can streamline their processes, improve collaboration with engineers, and ultimately deliver better products to market.
Conclusion
As we move further into an era dominated by AI-driven technologies, it becomes increasingly important for product teams to adapt to these changes. The adoption of AI provides not only challenges but also opportunities for growth and efficiency. By understanding the tools available and incorporating them into their workflows, product managers and coders can enhance their effectiveness and drive their organizations forward.
This evolution will not only impact the way products are developed but also how businesses operate in the technology landscape. Embracing AI is not just about keeping pace with industry trends; it is about positioning oneself for future success in a rapidly changing environment.
