About the publication

Long-form material built to be used, not merely read.

The book turns AI product practice into a structured operating rhythm: identify the workflow, ground it in evidence, evaluate output quality, prototype the experience and define the conditions for a responsible pilot.

It is designed as a working book rather than a passive read, with exercises and artifacts that help a product manager make the reasoning visible as the workflow evolves.
