How can AI actually help product managers and startup founders today?

AI is everywhere right now - from copilots and chat assistants to analytics, research, and planning tools. But beyond the hype, I’m curious about what’s truly useful in day-to-day product work.

From a PM or founder perspective:

• Where has AI genuinely saved you time?

• What tasks do you trust AI with - and what do you never delegate?

• Has AI changed how you write specs, manage roadmaps, or talk to users?

• What AI use cases sounded great in theory but failed in practice?

Personally, I see a lot of potential, but also a lot of noise. I believe that in the future, AI should help us much more. Create good roadmaps, convert product specs into concrete tasks, prioritise them, assign people, push for realisation, and much more.

Would love to hear concrete examples of how you’re using AI in real product and startup workflows 👇
