My 'Wrapped' - A Year of Working Smarter With AI

Everyone is sharing their Spotify-style "Wrapped" of 2025, so here’s mine :)

Focused on how my role as a Product Manager has completely transformed over the last year, thanks to AI.

Here you go:

Documentation

Before AI: I used to spend a lot of time creating docs - writing, formatting, editing, re-editing. It was a big chunk of my day.

After AI: Now I just give enough context and AI creates detailed documents for me. I get to focus on being a good editor instead of a full-time writer. The results are faster, clearer, and way more consistent.

Meeting Notes

Before: Taking notes during the meeting, or recording and then preparing questions, action items, and next steps, took time.

After: AI tools do it for you. Even if you're not using a paid meeting tool, you can just paste the transcript and get clean insights, tasks, and next steps extracted instantly.

Designing

Before: Manual wireframes in Draw.io, Balsamiq, etc. took forever.

After: Lovable, Balsamiq AI, Figma Make — all made me a pro in design. With good prompts, I can bring a wireframe idea to full-fledged design life based on brand guidelines.

It even makes a designer’s job easier because they can pick approved components and content directly from what I've generated.

Research & Surveys

Before: Simplifying research notes and survey feedback collected from multiple teammates used to take a huge amount of time.

Now: You dump your doc/sheet/notes into an AI tool, and it simplifies everything - highlights key observations, features, feedback, and patterns you might miss.

Ideation

Before: I used to prepare long questionnaires to understand the requirements better, and after the call, I used to simplify the details manually.

Now: Ideation is easier and much more powerful. You can ask AI to answer those same questions before you even get on a call - after giving enough context, of course.

You get a mental map of what might come up, what problems could appear, and what solutions you can offer. You can even ask AI to generate detailed discovery questions.

Project Management Tasks

Before: Creating project plans manually - timelines, Gantt charts, resource planning - everything took time.

After: Give context, write a strong prompt, and done. It's generated. You just refine and approve.

In the last year, the way I work as a Product Manager has completely changed. The speed, the results, the quality of ideation.

Prompt engineering has genuinely shifted how I handle both daily and long-term tasks.

My biggest highlight this year? Maximising the use of AI tools as a Product Manager.

PS: In the sea of AI tools available to us, you can use what suits you the best, hence the common terminology in the newsletter "AI tools" :)

And that's a wrap!
