What to Pack for Your GenAI Adventure

Get ready for an exciting adventure into the uncharted territory of GenAI product development! This presentation will unpack the essential tools and skills you need to thrive in this new era. First, we'll review your product management tools, emphasizing how core skills like understanding user needs, solving real problems, and delivering unique value still apply in the GenAI world. Next, we'll delve into the specific considerations for building with LLMs: defining requirements around multi-modality, balancing accuracy and hallucinations, addressing ethical implications, and incorporating user feedback loops. Finally, we'll explore the iterative LLM development cycle – from curating datasets, crafting prompts, and incorporating relevant data, to fine-tuning models and evaluating results – guiding you through each stage with practical tips and real-world examples that will help you move from prototype to launch.

Get ready to pack your bags with knowledge, strategies, and inspiration to build GenAI products that push the boundaries of what's possible. Your GenAI adventure starts here!
