ProductTank Vienna - Reimagining Product in an AI World

Reimagining Product in an AI World 📊
We are celebrating the end of summer with a fresh edition of ProductTank Vienna. This time, we dive into how AI and accessible data infrastructure are reshaping the role of product managers, both in mindset and practice.

Whether you're experimenting with AI features or trying to get your team to actually use the data they collect, these talks will help you bridge the gap between modern tooling and meaningful product strategy.🧠

Talk 1: How Any PM can be an AI-PM
Anna Maria Brunnhofer-Pedemonte – CEO & Co-Founder @ impact.ai

We’ll begin by exploring the key difference between being an AI PM and a PM who uses AI tools. Then we’ll look at how the product lifecycle shifts when AI is at the core—where continuous improvement replaces traditional launch cycles. You’ll see why this is today’s most exciting PM career path, and learn the mindset it demands: treating success metrics as Evals, testing failure modes early, and embracing constant iteration to reach new levels of AI product excellence.

Talk 2 + Demo: From data warehouse to AI conversations: Making data accessible for product teams
Boris Perkovic- CEO and Data Solution Architect @ Scaletech Platforms

This talk is aimed at product managers and non-technical teams who want to better understand how data works and how to use it effectively.
We’ll cover the basics of data infrastructure and how AI tools are changing the way teams access and analyze data. Platforms like Databricks and Snowflake are removing barriers by making data more accessible. With their AI-driven capabilities, these systems reduce complexity and reveal actionable insights with minimal technical expertise.
The goal is to bridge the gap between technical data operations and practical applications. This talk demonstrates how AI not only improves data efficiency but also equips product teams with tools they can directly apply to their workflows.
