Diego Granados

I'm a Product Manager with experience working cross-functionally with business roles (e.g. Marketing, Finance, Sales), technical roles (e.g. Backend and front-end engineers, data scientists) as well as designers and UX researchers to bring products to life that make our users' problems and pain-points go away!

I have experience working with Web and Mobile products, AI and Machine Learning - There's something really fascinating about using data to try and predict the future. I'm a big believer that every model should be thoroughly thought from an AI Ethics point of view.

As a product manager I have to wear different hats every day and I excel at working cross-functionally. My experience and feedback has taught me that I bring value to the teams I work with because:

- I empathize with users and speak: geek, data whisperer, designer, marketer and salesperson. At some point I also tried to learn Shriiwook (I've always wanted to understand Chewbacca like Han did). Understanding means fewer mistakes, and mistakes can be very costly.

- I'm passionate about understanding customers, too many people use "customer obsession" as buzzwords in their resume.

- I leave the BIG ideas to the Elon Musks of the world. A good Strategy, Vision and Execution drives products forward - I do these three.

- I'm an engineer at heart and a musician at soul - I like to combine logic with creativity

- I'm the calm one. I'm the one that plans.

I'm passionate about helping others and I created a YouTube channel to help others learn about Product Management: https://www.youtube.com/c/PMDiegoGranados/

Product Manager AI&ML

I started AI-Prototyping my PRDs before I even sit down with my engineers.

Last week, I was working on a feature that was a bit of a nightmare in terms of complexity. It had a lot of moving parts for both users and admins. 

On paper, the PRD was solid—I had the requirements mapped out, the logic seemed right, and I felt good about it.

But because it was such a "heavy" feature, I wanted to make sure I could explain it to my team as clearly as possible. Besides, the number of comments and questions in the PRD was growing fast, and now an important part of the PRD context relied on someone reading multiple threads and comments

So, I took a screenshot of our UI, dropped it into Google AI Studio, and essentially prototyped my PRD with AI: 

💬 "From this screenshot, when I click on X, add a panel with information from this other screenshot".
💬 "Now, when someone clicks Y in the panel. If the user has permission A, then do Z, otherwise follow... (some other requirement in the PRD)". 
💬 "Add a button at the top of the product to toggle whether I'm an admin or a user. Admins can view X, Y, Z panel and button, but users cannot see them".

After a morning of working with AI Studio to convert my PRD into a working prototype, the "aha!" moment happened...

In my case, the user side looked great, just like I’d written it. 

But once I started "building" the Admin side... I realized I missed the mark. My plan for the Admin UX wasn't nearly as smooth as I thought it was on paper. It looked fine in the doc, but in a real flow, it was way too complex.

AI prototyping made things so much easier because I was able to: 
✅ Simplify the Admin UX: I saw the friction immediately and fixed the flow before the meeting even happened. 
✅ Catch Corner Cases: I found a few gaps for both users and admins that only became obvious once the experience was "in motion." 
✅ Ease the Handoff: When we finally had the review, we were looking at a functional reference, which made the discussion so much easier (and the PRD easier to clean now that we were on the same page)

I’m still using Gemini to help me write the initial PRDs, but I’ve now added AI Studio to my toolkit to help me "see" my ideas before I ship them to the team.

It’s helping me be a better PM and a much clearer communicator.

As features get more complex, a good PRD helps me share a good idea with the team... but now that I'm using AI Studio to see my idea come to life after a few hours and how easy is the conversation with the engineering (and design!) team, it has become a permanent part of my PRD workflow.

👋 Have you tried "running" your docs through an AI builder or no-code tool before? I'd love to hear if it's helped you catch things early! Drop a comment below.
