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 Coding Tools
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 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 become critical to get the value you want to realize and possibly 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.
Benefits of AI in Product Management
- Alignment: AI can help ensure that all team members are on the same page with clear expectations and objectives.
- Consistency: Automated tools can provide consistent outputs, reducing the variability that can arise from human error.
- Completeness of Analysis: AI can help gather and process data to create comprehensive reports that inform decision-making.
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 artifacts produced over time can lead to better outcomes in product development.
Transforming Roles Through AI
Coders and Product Managers are two areas most ripe for transformation through comprehensive adoption of AI. Jobs will change, and it is crucial to explore how to migrate your talents to where AI drives them.
Adapting Skills for the Future
As AI tools become more prevalent, professionals in these fields must adapt their skill sets. Here are some strategies to consider:
- Embrace Continuous Learning: Staying updated with emerging technologies and tools will be essential.
- Focus on Higher-Order Skills: Critical thinking, strategic planning, and creative problem-solving will become increasingly valuable.
- Collaborate with AI: Learning how to work alongside AI tools can enhance productivity and innovation.
The landscape of technology and product management is evolving rapidly. Embracing AI not only enhances productivity but also fosters a culture of innovation, allowing Product Managers and coders to focus on strategic tasks that drive business growth.
Conclusion
As we move further into an era dominated by AI, the roles of Product Managers and coders will continue to evolve. By leveraging AI tools effectively, teams can achieve greater alignment, consistency, and depth in their analyses, leading to successful product outcomes. The future is bright for those who embrace change and adapt their skills to the new technological landscape.
