In this episode of Practically Intelligent, we sit down with Aman Khan, Director of Product at Arize AI, to unpack what “AI product management” really means. We dig into how tools like Cursor and Claude Code are changing the way PMs prototype, making disposable, working prototypes a core part of the craft again.

From there, we go deep on evals and the three common workflows teams fall into, how they go wrong, and what it looks like to build evals that actually tie to business metrics instead of just vibes and thumbs-ups.

Finally, Aman shares his own practical rituals like building golden datasets, running weekly data reviews, and doing product tear-downs, plus tips any PM can use to build real AI product sense and get ready for an agentic future.

We sit down with Katelyn Donnelly, founder & Managing Director of Avalanche VC. A longtime operator in education and social-impact consulting, Katelyn now backs early-stage AI and ed-tech startups reshaping how—and why—we learn.

We cover:

- Ed-tech vs. learning tech. Why the biggest breakthroughs often skip the classroom and go straight to the consumer.

- Motivation over personalization. The real bottleneck isn’t better content—it’s sparking curiosity and keeping learners engaged.

- AI’s dual role as both a teacher’s aide and a “homework cheater" and why that might not be a bad thing.

- How VR math sims, language-learning avatars, and AI-powered sales floors demonstrate the next wave of learning-by-doing.

- What jobs and university majors might look like in an era where the largest school in the world is YouTube.

In this episode of Practically Intelligent, we chat with Mike Dick — designer, builder, and co-founder of Gather — whose career spans from Age of Empires fan sites to leading design at Meta, Twitch, and Brex.

Mike shares how AI is transforming the craft of UX, why generalists are making a comeback, and how tools like ChatGPT and Figma are changing the way teams collaborate. Whether you're a designer, PM, or engineer, this episode explores the evolving interface between humans and AI — and what it means for how we build software.
