Colorado Product Meetup

Most PMs use AI for scattered tasks — a summary here, a draft there. This workshop shows what it looks like to use AI as a working partner across the entire product lifecycle, from the first signal of a customer problem to the dashboard that tells you whether you solved it.

Drawing on real workflows from day-to-day PM work at Stripe, this session walks through how AI (specifically Claude) fits into each stage of taking a product from idea to launch — not as a novelty, but as a genuine part of the operating rhythm.

Who This Is For:
PMs at any level who are curious about moving beyond one-off AI use cases (writing a PRD, summarizing a doc) toward a more integrated way of working. No technical background required.

What We'll Cover:

1. Problem Discovery
Using AI to analyze qualitative customer feedback at scale and spot patterns in quantitative data — turning a pile of support tickets, sales calls, and survey responses into a clear view of the actual problem.

2. Ideation & Prototyping
Generating and stress-testing solution concepts, then using AI-built prototypes to make ideas tangible fast — for both internal alignment and early user testing, well before engineering is involved.

3. Planning the Build
Using AI to help structure and manage a build plan — breaking down scope, thinking through sequencing, and keeping a project's moving pieces organized.

4. Design Experiments
Running structured experiments (A/B tests, design comparisons) with AI as a thought partner — from experiment design to interpreting results.

5. Measuring & Iterating
Building dashboards and success metrics with AI, and using it to close the loop — turning post-launch data back into the next round of discovery.

Format:
A mix of walkthrough and live demo — seeing real (anonymized/sanitized) examples of prompts, workflows, and outputs at each stage, with time for Q&A throughout.

What Attendees Will Leave With:
- A mental model for where AI fits across the PM workflow, not just as a writing tool
- Concrete, adaptable workflows/prompts they can try in their own work
- A realistic sense of where AI helps most — and where it doesn't

Product people. Dive bar. Karaoke. No polish required.

You've sat through the offsites: the facilitator, the sticky notes, the "let's go around and share a fun fact." This is the opposite. Off-Key Offsite is a night at a dive bar where product people trade the whiteboard for a microphone and sing badly together, with people who understand your roadmap pain.
There's no agenda, no slides, and no one asking you to "take this offline." Just cheap drinks, a questionable song book, and a room full of PMs, designers, engineers, and founders who have all, at some point, shipped something on a Friday.

What to expect

• Karaoke, with a sign-up sheet at the bar. Belt it, mumble it, or duet with a stranger who suddenly feels like a stakeholder you actually like.
• Real conversations. The best product networking happens when nobody is performing for LinkedIn.
• Zero pressure. Sing, cheer, heckle lovingly, or hold a drink and nod along. All of these count as participation.

Who it's for
Anyone in or around product: APMs to CPOs, first-time PMs to founders hiring their first one. If you've ever defended a prioritization decision to someone holding a pitchfork, you're one of us.

The fine print

• Dress code: whatever you wore to standup
• Talent: not required (mildly discouraged)
• Deliverables: none. Vibes only.

Ship it. Sing it. Regret nothing.
