Hello, and thank you for joining us at The Product Courier, where our community has now grown to 2,600 members! In this exciting 46th edition, we’re diving into the intriguing world of AI and its implications for product management.
Will AI Agents Kill Product Managers?
One of the most pressing questions today is whether AI agents, like the new sensation Manus from China, will replace human product managers. Manus is not just another AI tool; it’s a sophisticated autonomous agent capable of managing entire workflows. This technology can automate repetitive tasks such as documentation and research, freeing up time for product managers to focus on strategic decision-making.
But what does this mean for the role of product managers? With AI taking over routine tasks, the skillset required for product managers is evolving. Instead of simply executing tasks, PMs must now demonstrate their value in ways that AI cannot replicate. The shift from manual labor to high-level thinking and strategy is clear.
How to Build Your First AI Agent
If you’re interested in harnessing the power of AI, we’re here to help you create your Marketing agent using Relevance AI. It’s as simple as setting your objectives and letting the AI take over tasks like competitive analysis and roadmap alignment.
Here’s a quick overview of what you can do:
- Analyze Company Data: Use AI to gather insights about potential leads and categorize them effectively.
- Automate Responses: Save time by having AI craft personalized emails for different user segments.

The key takeaway is that while AI is changing the landscape of product management, it is also providing new opportunities for growth and skill development. Instead of fearing automation, embrace it to advance your career in ways that were once unimaginable.
