We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Organizations are racing to deploy generative AI applications to unlock new sources of value and stave off potential disruptors as this transformative technology takes hold. LLMs have quickly become plug-and-play APIs while smaller specialized models are becoming rapidly commoditized as well. To differentiate and expand the usefulness of these models, organizations must augment them with first-party data – typically via a process called RAG (retrieval augmented generation).
