ChatGPT ka naam toh suna hoga? Let us walk you through some wow traits as well as practical use-cases for this close-to-magic, human-like conversational bot.
Go focus on strategising your product roadmap while ChatGPT does the grind of preparing requirement specs for you.
20 minutes of work in 60 seconds.. whaat?Here’s a snippet of how Travis got Chat GPT to do the mundane for him. For full story, click here.
You can plan out on things you were previously unsure of. Chat GPT can be your lowkey startup advisor.
Think of a supposedly huge task you have on your plate and a reasonable timeline, and ask, “create a schedule for me to launch my new machine learning startup by May 1, 2023? Please include deliverables, timelines, contingency planning, team bonding, breaks, brainstorming, and user testing.”
You’d be surprised by the results.
It can respond to morally twisting questions.
Here’s a snapshot of Paweł Huryn exemplifying this moral dilemma in his post on LinkedIn.It can help you code - yes you heard that right.
Here is a video of a pro explaining how not only can you write simple code through it but also optimize it.You can also use the bot to help you drive some creative ideas for icebreaker with colleages, or arranging themed parties for a loved one.
My favourite was: Plan a birthday dinner for my friend who is very passionate about her job as a Software Product Manager - she loves tech and I want to theme the party accordingly.
And voila! I hope my friends know how to arrange one for me now.
Are you being paid fairly?
Product Soch is working on building a 2023 salary report for Product-related roles in Pakistan. But hamay ap logon ki maddad chaiyay!
To develop this report, we are conducting a country-wide ANONYMOUS salary survey for product-related roles (product managers (entry level to VP), product ops, product designers, product owners). The survey link is below.
Filling up the survey will take less than 5 minutes. If you participate in this, we'll give you a free copy of the salary benchmarking report which will help you see whether you are fairly compensated in your role and how you compare with others in similar situations. But we can only do this if we have sufficient data.
So, kindly submit your numbers and share this with your network to get this done. Thanks in advance!
