Great product managers do more than tell a story.
They build a shared belief.


Look at Apple. 
Their keynotes aren't about specs.
They're about a vision of the future. 


That's the power of a story that resonates.
It’s not about manipulation. 
It’s about creating meaning.


When you can get people to see what you see, that's true leadership.
It reminds me of Simon Sinek's great line: 
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”


When that belief is shared, everything else falls into place.


P.S. Does your team truly believe in your product's "why"?

Thanksgiving 2025…

For me, it’s not about the food, the shopping, or the holiday itself. It’s about the occasion—and the sentiment of pausing to say thank you.
This Thanksgiving, I’m giving thanks for the people who have touched my life, the places that have shaped me, and the possibilities that make life purposeful.

Thank you to two amazing people I met recently—Polly M Allen and Nico Posner —who filled my heart and soul with joy.

Thank you to the beautiful Bay Area that my wife and I have called home for 2+ decades.

Thank you to SFO, my City of Possibilities, where I discovered—and continue to build—my passion for creating AI products.

Thanks for being part of my life journey and for reminding me, in big and small ways, how rich my life becomes when I experience gratitude and share it.

Senior AI Product Leader | Generative AI, AI Agents, AIoT, Responsible AI, AI Product Strategy | Ex-Apple, Accenture, Cognizant | I help companies build, debug and launch standout AI products

I am continually fascinated by the recent LLM Council project by Andrej Karpathy. I now consider the LLM Council as both a Gen AI Design Pattern and an application building block. The possibilities for building innovative applications seems to be quite a lot. 

The LLM Council pattern embodies the principle that N models > 1 model when properly orchestrated. Instead of relying on a single AI to answer your question—with all its biases, blind spots, and hallucination risks—what if you assembled a "council" of diverse AI models to debate, critique, and synthesize a superior answer?

Today, as I was working on a PRD, I had the Aha! moment to explore the application of LLM Council Pattern to PRD reviews and rapid iteration and improvement. 

We all know this: the real gaps in a PRD show up after sprint planning – during engineering review, in QA, or (worst) in production.

I came up with an application concept: PRD Review Council – an AI “board of PM advisors” powered by the LLM Council pattern that reviews my PRD before it ever reaches sprint planning.

Here’s the idea 👇
Instead of a single AI doing a generic review, my PRD (generated the classical way or via ChatPRD)  goes to a council of AI personas inspired by product thought leaders – think Jackie Bavaro (clarity & strategy), Melissa Perri (outcomes over output), Dan Olsen (PMF & lean experiments), Janna Bastow (roadmaps & process), Claire Vo Vo (AI-native PM & agents). 
Each one reviews the PRD from their own lens and surfaces issues, questions, and suggestions. 

Then a “chairman” persona inspired by Marty Cagan pulls it all together: synthesising the feedback into one coherent review with: 
* An executive summary of readiness
* Critical gaps that block development
* High-leverage improvements to problem, outcomes, scope and risks
* A short list of concrete next steps for the author PM

Under the hood, PRD Review Council uses an LLM Council-style workflow: multiple models/experts in parallel, cross-review of each other’s feedback, and a final synthesis step that optimises for completeness, coherence, and practical actionability – not just clever comments. 

Why this matters:
* Catch most structural gaps before sprint planning
* Reduce back-and-forth PRD revisions with engineering, design and leadership
* Turn every PRD review into a mini coaching session from multiple “schools of PM”
* Build a repeatable, high-quality PRD review ritual even in lean teams 

I’m exploring this both as a real product idea implemented with Google AI Studio and as a reference app for multi-LLM “council” architectures. 

If you’re a PM or product leader who struggles with PRDs that get shredded late in the process, I’d love your take:

👉 Would you trust (and use) an AI PRD Review Council like this? What would you want it to catch every single time?

#ProductManagement #AIProductManagement #LLMCouncil #GenerativeAI #ProdMgmt

We now have a menu of LLM platforms and frontier models. 

OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Perplexity, xAI, Mistral AI, DeepSeek
and others keep shipping new model releases, each with fresh claims about features and performance.

But a practical question remains: which model should I use for which task, purpose, and outcome? How do we look beyond leaderboards and hype, and relate these models to day-to-day, pragmatic work?

I found comparing frontier LLM platforms like ChatGPT 5.1, Claude 4.5, Grok, Perplexity, and Gemini quite difficult because they are complex products, not just models on a chart. I needed a structured way to map their distinct strengths, risks, and task fit so I could confidently route work to the right tool.

So I adapted Andrej Karpathy’s “LLM Council” idea — a multi-model debate plus chairman synthesis — to systematically evaluate each LLM platform.

The result is a practical view, for each platform, of:
* Strengths
* Watch-outs
* Tasks well suited
* Tasks better routed elsewhere

The adapted LLM Council process:
-> Multiple frontier models independently assess a target platform to avoid early anchoring.
-> They anonymously critique and rank each other’s answers to surface errors and nuances.
-> A “Chairman” model, overseen by a human, synthesizes the debate into a consensus verdict.

The Council’s one-sentence report snapshots:
> ChatGPT 5.1 – A top-tier generalist with adaptive reasoning that excels at explaining concepts, agentic workflows, and acting as a conversational copilot.
> Anthropic Claude 4.5 – The “deep thinker” for complex coding, heavy document analysis, and long-horizon reasoning, especially when paired with Artifacts.
> Perplexity – A web-native “answer engine” built for deep research and fact-finding, rather than long-form creative writing or storytelling.
> Grok – Best for real-time social trend analysis and sentiment tracking, with a spicy tone and direct access to X data.
> Google Gemini – A multimodal powerhouse that integrates with Workspace and uses massive context windows to analyze video, large codebases, and Drive files.

Comment “Council” if you’d like the full breakdown and report.

The attached slide deck captures and summarizes the key findings.

Doing this exercise gave me a much clearer mental model of which LLM platform to use for what, and how to route tasks to the best-fit model for the outcomes I care about.

Evaluating LLM Platforms with the LLM Councils

Sharing a personal spirit lifting milestone from ResearchGate. 

Glad to know that people are reading my published paper. Inspired by my mentor Aman Chadha and by his stellar publishing record and portfolio. 

This path to publishing preprints and getting reads / citations is to get into the groove of original ideation, thinking about problems - solutions, and putting high quality written work. This effort with ResearchGate is a start; I aim to work and uplevel myself to be worthy of acceptance into "prestigious" journals - arXiv, IEEE, ACM etc. It is hard but I am motivated to do whatever it takes to get to that level.

🚀 Book Release Announcement - Nov 21 2025! 

I’m excited to share that my book AI Product Builder’s Troubleshooting & Diagnostic Guide is now complete and in final refinement. It will be released on Nov 21, 2025 and sent directly to everyone who signed up. 🙏

If you’d like to receive the e-copy, you can still join the list here:  👉 https://lnkd.in/gz2mVPe6

Earlier announcement: https://lnkd.in/ga5Qd9vy

💡 What makes this book different
To make this a practical, usable manual for real-world AI teams, I tried several first-of-its-kind approaches:
• Each chapter is exactly one page — sharp, concise, and built for busy AI builders

• TL;DR + Bottom Line — know the “why” and “what to do” instantly

• A unified visual synthesis of the entire book

• Multimodal chapter experiences:
  🎥 ~8-min video explainers
  🎧 Dialog-style audio versions
  📘 Detailed text + visuals
 
Designed to support every learning style.

🛠 Why I wrote this
AI Product Builders don’t need more “how to build a RAG app” tutorials.
We need guidance on:
 ✔ debugging failures
 ✔ diagnosing drift
 ✔ preventing cost explosions
 ✔ hardening AI for real production
 ✔ governing responsibly at scale

A mentor summarized it perfectly:
“This isn’t just a book — it’s an intervention… You’ve addressed the ‘Pilot Purgatory’ problem every VP of AI feels right now.”


📘 What this book aspires to be
A living operational manual that unifies Product + Engineering + AI implementation realities.

A playbook to help teams:
 • cross the pilot-to-production gap
 • debug with clarity
 • apply diagnostic hardening
 • evaluate, govern, and scale with discipline

After launch, I’ll also release templates, guides, Miro boards, and walkthrough videos to make the playbook even more actionable.

This work is dedicated to every AI Product Builder striving to build their “Aha!” product — responsibly, reliably, and at scale.

We’re entering a moment where AI is no longer staying in the digital world.
It’s stepping into the real world — into devices that sense the environment, robots that move with purpose, machines that can help us in hospitals, farms, factories, and even in our homes. This shift can change industries, careers, and lives.

But right now, most people only understand “software AI”: LLMs, chatbots, copilots.

Physical AI is the next wave — and most people are not prepared for it.

Over the past months, I’ve become convinced that Physical AI — AI embedded in robots, machines, vehicles, and devices that can sense, decide, and act in the real world — will define the next decade of innovation. From logistics and manufacturing to healthcare, energy, agriculture, and smart cities, we’re already seeing early signs: autonomous robots, intelligent fleets, warehouse automation, hospital logistics, and more.

I want to prepare myself now for that shift — to think deeply about:
* How we design Physical AI systems that are helpful rather than harmful
* How we blend AI, robotics, AIoT, and edge infrastructure responsibly
* How Product, Engineering, Operations, and Policy need to work together to make Physical AI safe, reliable, and truly human-centered

👉 So please join us in the journey of this exciting new world of possibilities and potential from Physical AI.

What happens when AI’s hunger for power, water, and land collides with the limits of our planet – and the patience of our communities?

We’re already seeing the early signs: grid constraints, water stress, local moratoriums on new data centers, and growing scrutiny from regulators and citizens. 
At the same time, we’re racing to build an AI++ world – where AI is deeply intertwined with IoT, edge, robotics, and cyber-physical systems.

To make that future possible, we don’t just need more  power or more AI infrastructure.

We need to have a clear vision for the Future of Data Centers, And We need Resource-Responsible AI so that we invest and build in that AI infrastructure rationally. 

I’ve pulled together my research, thoughts, and field notes into a publication: 
📘 “The Future of AI Data Centers – Creating Resource-Responsible AI for an AI++ World”

Links to the booklet and slide deck in the comments. 

In this publication I explore:
* How AI data centers differ fundamentally from traditional cloud infrastructure
* Why power, water, and cooling are becoming design constraints – not afterthoughts
* A set of principles and scorecards for building Resource-Responsible AI across the model lifecycle
* Patterns for AI-native architectures spanning edge, micro data centers, and hyperscale
* The role of regulation, risk, and “social license to operate”
* Future scenarios and a practical roadmap for teams who want to act, not just admire the problem

If this topic resonates with you – whether you’re in AI/ML, cloud, data centers, sustainability, or policy – drop a comment or DM  🙌

Thrilled to share that my new research paper is now available on ResearchGate: “Agentic Swarm Intelligence Applied to AIoT Agent Coordination: A Domain-Agnostic Framework for Multi-Agent Coordination, Task Allocation, and Human-AIoT Workflow Delineation.”

This work brings together Swarm Intelligence, multi-agent systems, and AIoT to answer a key question: 
How do we coordinate AIoT agents while keeping humans safely and meaningfully in the loop? 

The paper introduces the AIoT Swarm Coordination Map (ASCM), an extended RACI-A responsibility model, and a Human–AIoT Workflow Canvas that practitioners can apply across manufacturing, energy, smart cities, logistics, and more.

If you’re interested in and exploring Multi-agent systems, AIoT, edge intelligence, or Human-AI teaming, I’d really value your read, critique, and suggestions for future directions.

A TGIF moment! Thankful to meeting and collaborating with awesome people like Ronny Ashar .

It is an awesome feeling for me when you can have meaningful connects even though we are thousands of miles apart and we can find something that we are both passionate about. 

Ronny and I have had deep and thoughtful discussions about Sustainable AI recently. Which led me to the formulation of the concept of Resource Responsible AI. 

I am really proud of Ronny for getting the AI Ethics practioner certification from Stanford. Looking forward to continuing this awesomeness in 2026.
