Should AI be a feature in your product — or should AI be your product? 🤔

It’s a subtle difference that completely changes your product strategy, roadmap, and even your business model.

In this 5-minute episode, Rishikesh Kankal breaks down how product managers can make this call with clarity — using real-world examples like Gmail, Canva, ChatGPT, and Notion.

You’ll learn:

• When to use AI as a feature to improve existing workflows

• When to build AI as the core product itself

• 3 guiding questions to decide the right approach

• The risks and upsides of each path

• How PMs can avoid the “AI for the sake of AI” trap

💡 Key Takeaway:

AI as a feature improves your product.

AI as a product defines your product.

Your job as a PM is to know the difference — and make that call intentionally.
