AI Product Manager
From AI Possibility to Market Impact
AI capability alone does not create a successful product. Learn to select a consequential problem, define a defensible AI product strategy, prove quality and trust, establish viable economics — and lead launch, adoption and growth with an investment-ready case.
What is an AI Product Manager?
An AI Product Manager decides which customer problem and AI product an organisation should pursue, why that product can create durable value, and how it should be validated, launched and improved. The role combines traditional product discovery and strategy with working fluency in data, models, RAG, agents, evaluation, human oversight, security, economics and lifecycle operations. Unlike an AI Product Owner, the Product Manager is centred on market selection, business viability, launch and growth.

Not a renamed Product Owner course — and not a prompt-engineering course.
Where the Product Owner runs the team backlog and release, this programme goes deeper into the market and the business.
- •Market segmentation & beachhead selection
- •Category, positioning & differentiation
- •AI business models & unit economics
- •Pricing, packaging, procurement & enterprise GTM
Enough prompting, RAG and agent fluency to make product decisions — assessed on judgement, evidence, trade-offs and leadership.
- •Choose a valuable problem — or reject the AI idea
- •Design a trustworthy, controllable product experience
- •Evaluate the complete system, not the demo
- •Create viable economics & lead market impact
Built for people moving into AI product leadership.
Prior experience: three or more years recommended in product, business, consulting, technology, design, analytics or customer work. No production coding is required; an AI Product Foundations route covers product, Agile, AI, RAG, agents, metrics and responsible-AI vocabulary where needed.
Choose the product — and prove it deserves investment.
Twelve modules. From market thesis to investment-ready launch.

You don't watch videos. You run engagements.
Three full-production projects, each threaded through the entire curriculum. By the project, you've built the whole stack around them.
AI Career & Learner Success Product — the capstone

Evaluation, economics & board defence
Run a 30–50-case evaluation suite comparing two product-system variants, model base / expected / stress economics, defend pricing and pilot terms, and present the executive investment memo with a limitations disclosure.
Your implementation engagement in a controlled project environment.
Pick a real partner workflow. Run the engagement end to end — workshops, to-be design, backlog, UAT and a governed AI rollout plan — and defend it before a review panel.
Taught by engineers who shipped agentic AI to production.
Manikanta is the founder of Digital Edify and brings 15 years of enterprise platform architecture from AT&T, Salesforce, Cox Communications, and Broadcom — where he led enterprise platform and AI rollouts for Fortune-500 banks, telcos, and insurers. Most recently he architected production agentic-AI deployments that replaced traditional triage tiers with autonomous case-handling.
His classes get you two things other programs don't give you: a founding architect who's shipped enterprise AI from inside the Fortune 500, and a curriculum updated monthly — so when hiring managers ask about agent specs, evaluation sets or HITL design, you've already built it. M.S. in Engineering, Purdue University.
Ravi is Chief Technologist at Digital Edify, where he leads the implementation and delivery practice. After years running enterprise transformation programs, he now teaches the product craft — discovery run gate by gate, strategy that gets to real decisions, and investment evidence that stands up in front of a steering committee.
His delivery modules are built from real engagement post-mortems, not slide decks. Expect to leave with working workshop kits, requirement and UAT templates, and a delivery-governance playbook you can run on day one.
