Name: WTF! Impact of Generative AI on Product Management
Start: 2025-08-26T17:30:00.000Z
Location: STARTRAUM GÖTTINGEN

We're back at the King's Arms for our summer Product gathering, and are delighted to welcoming our guest speakers, **Jason Knight** and **Emily Tate**. Doors open at 6pm, with talks starting at 6:45. We will wrap up no later than 9pm, and networking and drinks can continue in the bar afterwards.

**Why Product Management is not like the books**

Drowning in a sea of frameworks, buzzwords and ‘Proper Ways To Do Things™️’? You’re not alone! In this talk, Jason Knight explores why the glossy advice in product books often doesn’t match the messy reality of the job - and why that’s not just OK, but inevitable. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, under qualified, or just fed up with chasing perfection, we’ll go into practical ways to embrace the chaos, trust your judgement, and build better products without needing to be a poster child for someone else’s playbook.

**Jason Knight** is a B2B product consultant, fractional product leader, product leadership coach, startup mentor, and host of the One Knight in Product podcast. He’s worked with companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 100 giants, helping them overcome growing pains and build high-performing product teams. Jason is passionate about helping teams level up their product chops step by step - focusing on what matters, avoiding getting bogged down trying to fix everything at once, and becoming true business partners.

**When your product is not THE product**

Let’s all admit it – when we tell people we work in tech, we hope they picture us building their favorite app. But the reality is, most of us are building products that on the surface, are less exciting than the latest consumer-facing brand. Even in those household names, there are tech organisations that spend more time automating finance processes than creating the coolest new feature for the customers.

So what does that mean for product people building internal products? Is our job easier than the consumer-facing teams? Is it less interesting? Not at all! In fact, the problems to solve and challenges you face are often meatier and more difficult when building the products that enable other parts of the organisation. In this talk, we’ll aim to understand:

* What it means to build an internal or enabling product in a non-tech organisation.
* The nuances and differences of the product practice in these products.
* How to tackle the biggest challenges in these organisation and build a product you can be proud of.

**Emily Tate** brings nearly 20 years of product management experience to her role as VP of Product at IVC Evidensia, the global leader in veterinary care. Prior to IVC Evidensia, Emily was Managing Director for Mind the Product, where she helped product managers around the world grow in their craft

While she has worked across a variety of industries, Emily will always have a soft spot for the travel industry where she spent most of her early career building software for airlines and developing a leading consumer travel app, TripCase.

Emily is passionate about the craft of product management and loves talking about new ways to make products people love.

Online event

NOTE: this is a 2nd chance to catch one of our most popular sessions of the year if you missed it in-person or want to do it again...

If you're not using genAI for your product management work yet, or if you are but feeling like you haven't found the best ways to improve your outcomes, this one is for you.

"Vibe Coding" is the buzz for the hottest new coding language: english. Building prototypes, agents, product management tools, on the fly and in the flow, using plain language. Does it work? What are the ins and outs? We'll cover..
•⁠ ⁠When to use it and maybe when not to
•⁠ Some of the risks and pitfalls
•⁠ ⁠⁠Tools & tips and real-world examples
•⁠ ⁠⁠Input from technical and PM panelists

We're delighted to bring you a repeat performance of a must-attend event for PMs and all product-related professionals that offers the low-down on genAI powered product work, with a special focus on CodeGen (coding apps and prototypes) and how to quickly understand and prototype Agentic solutions.

Testimonials from the in-person session:

Product Vibe Coding and Prototyping: REPEAT ONLINE

**Hey Product People! 👋**
Big news: Würzburg is finally on the ProductTank map – and we’re kicking things off with a topic that couldn’t be more relevant:
**“The Product Manager’s New Superpower: AI for Trend Detection and Foresight”** ⚡🤖
In today’s fast-changing world, reacting to change isn’t enough. As product managers, we’re expected to stay ahead of it – and build products that are not only right for now, but ready for what’s next.
The good news? Innovation always speaks early – through data, patterns, and weak signals. The challenge? Hearing it before everyone else does.
This is where AI comes in.
🔍 **What to expect:**
• How to identify *weak signals* before they go mainstream – and tell them apart from short-lived hype
• Which *AI tools* help us with early trend detection and hypothesis validation
• How *scenario thinking* helps reduce uncertainty and guide smarter bets

Inspired by Amy Webb’s *“The Signals Are Talking”*, we’ll explore how AI can become your trusted analysis partner – helping you make more confident, future-focused product decisions.

***

🗓 **Agenda**
7:00pm – Welcome & see who's there
7:30pm – Keynote + Q&A
8:15pm – Snacks, Drinks & Open Conversations

This is our very first ProductTank in Würzburg – and we’re super curious to find out who’s out there!
Whether you're a product manager, designer, researcher, engineer, or just passionate about building great products: **all Product People are welcome**.
Let’s kick things off, connect, and shape a new local community – together! 🙌
