When roles collapse: The value AI creates for product leaders
Your PM just shipped a feature without writing code.
Your engineer is conducting user research. Your designer is building functional prototypes. This isn't chaos, it's the new reality of AI-native product development.
At Airtable, we discovered AI doesn't just accelerate workflows, it breaks down the walls between product, engineering, and design.
In this talk, I'll discuss how (and why) we restructured the Airtable product org into rapid-iteration teams shipping weekly and platform teams building infrastructure and why our new mantra is prototypes over decks.
I’ll also talk about why every product leader needs to be hands-on again, and whether your legacy product is an AI superpower or an anchor.
You'll leave with a framework for building AI-native teams where everyone becomes a builder.
