Bio
Lenny Rachitsky's central contribution to AI product thinking is reframing the product manager's role from specification-writer to orchestrator of AI agents. His system of thought begins with the observation that AI is not shrinking the PM role but raising the bar: the tactical work (writing PRDs, analyzing data, creating mockups) is increasingly delegatable, which means the remaining human work -- judgment, taste, customer empathy, and cross-functional alignment -- becomes more valuable, not less.
