**AI Speeds Up Delivery – But What About Discovery?**

AI is dramatically accelerating software delivery. But as development becomes faster, the bottleneck is shifting elsewhere: product discovery.
How do you decide which problems are actually worth solving? What should you build—and just as importantly, what shouldn't you?

At Autumn's first Helsinki Product Tank, **Antti Latva-Koivisto** will share a real-world case study of launching a new B2B SaaS product in a market where previous competitors had failed.
The session explores how disciplined product discovery can become a competitive advantage in the age of AI, helping teams focus their increased delivery capacity on the problems that matter most.

**Schedule:**
17.30 Doors Open
18 Talks
20 End

The meetup is hosted by F-Secure, and organized at HTC Vega building (Room: Avenida)

Registration deadline is on Monday 31.8.2026 at 23.59.

Welcome to explore the topic, and meet up with peers!

# **The New Product Moat: GTM in the Age of AI**

# Description

AI is making it easier to build, copy, and iterate on products. The difficult question is where durable advantage comes from when technology alone is no longer enough.
Helena Bachar will share HoneyBook's journey from zero to the App Store in ten weeks - and why launch is where the real work starts. Her talk will explore what it takes to bring a new mobile product to market and what teams learn once it reaches real users.
The conversation will then expand into a panel with product, growth, and marketing leaders exploring GTM in the age of AI: how teams sharpen positioning, create demand, improve conversion, and build an advantage that is harder to copy than a feature.

# Agenda

● 18:00 - Doors Open, Food, Drinks, Networking And Opening
● 18:30-18:55 - Helena Bachar, Staff Product Manager - HoneyBook: Zero to App Store in 10 weeks: now the real work starts
● 18:55-19:00 - Q&A
● 19:00-19:25 - Panel: GTM In The Age Of AI
● 19:25-19:30 – Panel Q&A
● 19:30-20:00- Networking And Mingling

The New Product Moat

HoneyBook's office

Product management is being rewritten in real time.

AI can now research, analyse, prototype and build. Traditional roadmaps struggle to keep pace with changing customer signals. And as building becomes easier, product judgment—not output—is becoming the real differentiator.

On September 12, ProductTank Bengaluru, in partnership with lululemon, brings together three accomplished product leaders to explore what this shift means for PMs and the organisations they lead.

You’ll leave with:

* Seven capabilities that will define the next generation of product leaders
* A clearer way to move from fixed roadmaps to continuous learning loops
* A perspective on decision ownership when anyone can build
* Practical ideas you can apply to your role, team and organisation
* New connections from Bengaluru’s product community

Agenda

* 10:00–10:30 AM — Registration and Meet & Greet
* 10:30–10:40 AM — Keynote
* 10:40–11:00 AM — Leadership address from lululemon
* 11:00–11:35 AM — The AI-Native PM: 7 Skills That Will Define the Next Generation of Product Leaders
Anurag Chaudhuri, Head of Product at Flipkart
* 11:35 AM–12:05 PM — From Roadmaps to Learning Loops: Building Organisations That Adapt
Karthik Iyer, Product Leader at Amazon
* 12:05–12:40 PM — When Everyone Can Build: Who Owns the Product Decision?
Obuli Srinivasan, Lead Product Manager at Nike
* 1:00 PM onwards — Lunch and networking

Date: September 12, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
Venue: lululemon, Manyata Tech Park, Bengaluru

If you are building products, leading teams or preparing for what comes next in product management, this is a room you’ll want to be in.
