WPD'26: World Product Day 2026: Would Agentic AI Improve QoL of PMs?

World Product Day 2026: Would Agentic AI Improve QoL of PMs?

Celebrate World Product Day 2026 virtually with ProductTank Hong Kong!

As part of a global celebration spanning over 200 cities, we are gathering online to tackle one of the most debated topics of the year: The impact of Agentic AI on the Product Manager’s Quality of Life (QoL).

With the recent insights shared at AgentCon Hong Kong 2026, the evolving ecosystem of Microsoft Copilot and Manus, and the latest reveals from Google I/O 2026, the role of the PM is at a crossroads. Are these autonomous agents here to liberate us from the "drudgery" of backlog grooming and meeting notes, or do they introduce a new layer of complexity and risk?

Join our organizer, Amanda Lam, for an evening of global celebration followed by a high-energy, open discussion.

🔭 What We’ll Explore:

• Insights from the Frontlines: Key takeaways from AgentCon HK, Microsoft, Google and Manus on the future of autonomous agents.
• The QoL Equation: Can AI agents truly handle stakeholder management, or are they best suited for technical specs and data synthesis?
• Open Floor: Share your experiences—how has your daily workflow changed in the last 12 months?
