What Happens to the PM Role in an AI-Driven Product World?
by•
Traditionally, PMs are the ones connecting everything: users, business, engineering.
But now with AI systems that can map, analyze, and connect - what happens to that role?
Does AI amplify the PM?
Or start replacing parts of the job?
As we build Athena, this question comes up a lot.
How do you see the PM role evolving?

i think the developer and project role should a merge into one role. with ai both roles have a lot more context and execution abilities. it shouldn't be for every type of developer but for most of them. it will also improve the product quality and give true ownership on features

@amit_wagner Interesting take. I can see why AI pushes roles closer together since both sides suddenly have much more context and execution power.
But I’m not fully sure it leads to a full merge - I think we might still need a layer that focuses purely on tradeoffs, user intent, and product direction, even if execution becomes more blurred.
