She Built an AI Product Manager Bringing in Six Figures—As A Side Hustle - Ep. 24 with Claire Vo

AI & I

Claire Vo built ChatPRD—an on-demand chief product officer powered by AI. It’s now used by over 10,000 product managers and is pulling in six figures in revenue.
The best part?
Claire has a demanding day job as the CPO at LaunchDarkly. So she built all of ChatPRD herself—over the weekend—with AI.
I sat down with Claire to talk about how ChatPRD works, how she built it as a side hustle using AI, and all of the ways she’s using AI tools to accelerate her work and life.
We get into:

• How she used AI to build ChatPRD over Thanksgiving break
• The part of product management that Claire thinks AI will disrupt
• Why the PMs of tomorrow will be “proto-managers” who create prototypes rather than just specs
• How junior PMs can use AI to upskill faster
• The ways in which ChatPRD is baked into her own workflow
• How building ChatPRD is making Claire a better PM
• How Claire uses AI as a tech-forward parent

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in turning their side hustle into a thriving business or who works in product. If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!
