The curriculum
The AI product management course that updates every week.
14 chapters and 102 lessons, from PM fundamentals to building AI products: discovery, the AI PRD, agents, evals, AI UX, trust, and landing the job. Every week we read live AI PM job posts and add, rewrite or retire lessons to match, so you learn what the role asks for now.

02 Using SQL and Logs
The report names SQL as the single most-named tool (27), ahead of APIs (24) and MCP (23), and flags that no course teaches it: this is called out twice, in the missing-material list and as one of the sharpest JD-versus-course disagreements

05 Writing an AI PRD
Still inside the 88 percent craft theme, this chapter owns the artifact the report calls the differentiator from classic PM: the AI PRD must name risks, guardrails, and success metrics up front because the system is non-deterministic (Produ

08 Designing Evals for AI Products
Evals are 53 percent (62 companies), real but middling against the top themes, and the most over-taught topic in the field.

09 Measuring AI Product Economics
Outcomes and metrics for AI is 62 percent and, tellingly, outranks evals (53 percent), yet the report says course metric content is dominated by eval mechanics: this is a deepen theme and a named gap.
