This episode explores the crucial skill of writing AI evaluations for product managers (PMs) in the age of artificial intelligence. Against the backdrop of the increasing importance of AI in product development, the conversation highlights the challenges of evaluating AI systems, particularly LLMs, due to their inherent subjectivity and non-determinism. More significantly, the discussion emphasizes the need for PMs to develop a deep understanding of AI fundamentals, including different model types and their respective strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the hosts discuss the limitations of using LLMs for every problem and the importance of choosing the right algorithm for the task. As the discussion pivoted to practical applications, the hosts explored the use of evaluations in building a customer support AI agent, emphasizing the iterative process of data collection, model evaluation, and refinement using human feedback and A/B testing. In contrast to traditional product development, the conversation underscores the need for rapid iteration and continuous evaluation in AI product development. Ultimately, this episode underscores the evolving role of PMs as they leverage AI tools to build products and emphasizes the importance of practical experience, curiosity, and a customer-centric approach in this rapidly changing landscape.
