2025 Product Faculty Wrapped
Sharing the data, trends, and more from our 2025 AI PM cohorts.
This is a slightly different kind of email than what we usually send (more deep dives are coming soon and it will be all FREE, forever.)
And honestly, I debated whether I should write it at all.
But I decided to take you along on this journey with me.
2025 Product Faculty Wrapped: Across 4 cohorts, 1,965+ students joined our AI PM Certification (taught by OpenAI’s product lead) with one clear goal: Master building AI products from scratch.
Not clever prompts. And of course not just “vibe coding” that breaks the moment it hits production.
But real, enterprise-grade AI products that deal with cost, latency, evals, guardrails, and real users.

Remember, 2026 is going to be insane.
Not in a hype way… but in a things-are-moving-faster-than-most-people-realize way.
AI isn’t just changing tools.
It’s changing how products are built, how teams operate, and how careers compound.
And my honest message to you is this:
If you don’t actively start leveling up with AI now, the gap becomes very hard to close later.
I’m not talking about learning prompts or playing with shiny demos.
I mean really learning how to build enterprise-level AI products from scratch.
Understanding how agentic systems work.
How AI workflows are designed to scale.
How to prototype quickly without creating fragile systems.
How to think about cost, latency, evals, reliability, and real users, not just outputs.
This is the difference between someone who uses AI…
Someone who becomes a 100x product builder and operator because of it.
Learning these skills doesn’t just future-proof your career.
It gives you leverage. The kind that leads to overdue promotions.
Bigger scope. New roles.
Or the confidence to build something of your own.
Now, I’ll be straight with you.
You can learn all of this by piecing things together from different programs, blog posts, videos, and experiments. Many people do.
Or…
You can learn everything, end-to-end, inside our #1 AI Product Management Certification.
And yes, I’m biased. But here’s why I say that confidently.
You’re learning directly from OpenAI’s Product Lead.
An ex-Director from Google is running the entire cohort operation, constantly improving the experience and maximizing student outcomes.
One of the world’s most respected AI PM instructors teaches you the actual tools and systems needed to build (not just talk about)AI products.
And a Director of AI Skills & Transformation works with teams and leaders to help students actually implement what they learn in the real world.
And the results speak louder than I ever could.
In 2025 alone, 1,965+ students trusted us with this part of their career.
We crossed 750+ reviews on Maven, the highest in any category.
I’ll say this plainly: If you’re serious about becoming someone who can build, lead, and scale AI products, this is the most complete path I know.
If you want to enroll, you can still get $500 off here:
Here’s the snapshot of what you’ll learn (and a lot more):
You’ll start seeing why so many people tell us the same thing after joining:
“I wish I had done this earlier.”
You’ll love it.
