She is also the host of the “How I AI” podcast and YouTube channel, where she demonstrates practical applications of AI tools for improving work quality and efficiency.
Current Role and Background
- CPO at LaunchDarkly - Leading product strategy at feature management platform
- Founder/CEO of ChatPRD - AI copilot for product managers
- Host of “How I AI” - Educational content on practical AI tool usage
- Recognized thought leader on AI adoption in product management
ChatPRD
Origin and Evolution
ChatPRD began as a custom GPT that writes product requirements documents (PRDs)—the documentation outlining what a new product should do, how it should look, and what features it needs. It has evolved into a comprehensive AI copilot platform.
Core Capabilities
- PRD Generation: Draft comprehensive product requirements documents from simple ideas
- Goal Setting and Metrics: Define realistic product goals and brainstorm performance metrics
- Coaching Feedback: On-demand coaching to help product managers improve skills
- Workflow Integration: Connect with Slack, Linear, Notion, Google Drive
- Feature Building: AI agents that work end-to-end on product features
- Enterprise Solutions: Team-based plans for larger organizations
Business Performance
- 10,000+ product managers actively using ChatPRD
- Six-figure revenue as a side project
- Positioned as #1 AI platform for product managers by usage
- Unconventional team composition: “some humans but mostly AI agents, automations, and code”
- Team: Claire Vo (Founder/CEO), Alisa Haman (Head of Growth)
Philosophy and Approach
Workflow Transformation
Claire advocates for adapting product management workflows to leverage AI rather than maintaining traditional processes. She demonstrates practical examples:
- Drafting complete product strategy during a 22-minute commute
- Building new features in approximately 30 minutes using AI agents
- Using a “prompting trick” that enables AI to function like a real team member
AI Adoption Strategy
- AI agents replacing traditional tools: ChatPRD/Claude replaces Cursor coding tools for ~70% of coding needs
- Broader experimentation: Non-deterministic LLM outputs require larger experimentation surface areas
- Nuanced measurement: Different evaluation approaches needed compared to traditional software development
- Urgency message: Product managers should adopt AI practices within 18 months to avoid being left behind
Core Insight
Traditional product management practices are becoming obsolete in an AI-first era. The fundamental shift involves embracing AI agents as active team members rather than tools, and adjusting processes to leverage their capabilities.
”How I AI” Channel
Focus: Practical applications of AI tools for improving work quality and efficiency
Target Audience: Anyone wondering “how to actually use these magical new tools to improve the quality and efficiency of their work”
Philosophy: Demystifies AI adoption by showing real-world, actionable implementations across product management workflows.
Key Perspectives on AI and Product Management
- Non-deterministic nature of LLMs fundamentally changes how product management should work
- AI agents as team members - not just tools, but collaborative participants
- Speed advantage: AI-enabled product development dramatically accelerates cycles
- Skill evolution needed: PMs must learn to work with AI effectively or risk obsolescence
- Measurement complexity: Traditional metrics insufficient for AI-driven product decisions
