The AI Workflow That Keeps PMs Fast
You’ve opened five AI tools this month and still feel slower.
Most PMs try AI for PRDs and “agents” first. Then they hit the wall.
PRDs get longer, not clearer. Outputs feel fast but shallow. Teams spend more time fixing than saving.
The PMs who keep using AI do something different.
They use it for compression. Not decisions.
AI turns messy input into a clean signal so you make better calls faster.
The 2 Buckets That Decide If AI Helps Or Hurts
There are only two buckets:
Compression work: synthesize, summarize, label, compare, clean drafts
Judgment work: prioritization, commitments, roadmap calls, final requirements
If you mix these, you get “AI slop” and slow the business down.
If you separate them, you get speed without losing quality.
The Shift Senior PMs Are Making
They are not asking “What should we build?”, but “What did users repeat, what changed, and what’s the decision?”.
That shift is the difference between looking busy and being effective.
One Quick Win: The 5-Minute Call Summary That Actually Compounds
After your next discovery call, paste the transcript and use this exact prompt:
“Summarize into: context, pain moments, current workaround, desired outcome, 2 quotes, risks, follow-ups. 250–350 words. No fluff.”
That single format change turns random notes into comparable data.
Do this for 10 calls, and patterns you couldn’t see before will jump out.
