We use a variety of LLM specialised for user feedback analysis and user research - this helps us and our clients understand real users pain points and needs

Really depends on the context of the interview - in general, what made you search for X is a good one for me

I'm not sure this is a dichotomy... If a product has no real utility how can it be a commercial success? I suppose you can have super useful products that are not a commercial success... but I can't see how you can have a commercially successful product that is not useful. Note that useful here doesn't necessarily mean creates a net positive impact in the world though - if we take useful to...

When I have done landing page tests I mainly placed ads targeting keyword search. The reason being wanting to test it with people in market rather than with a specific audience. In general, when choosing the platform to place ads to drive traffic, I'd primarily consider what am i really testing: for example if I'm testing would the proposition resonate with a specific persona/audience vs...

Indeed - for every dollar spending in upskilling existence resources you are saving $10 in recruitment fees, onboarding new members, etc

Jobs to be done and ODI - if you don't know what your customers are trying to accomplish your chances of satisfying them are essentially random

if you mean using Open AI on Azure or Open AI directly - i've chosen to use the version on Azure. It is slower to take on new features from the Open AI models but I have found it more stable in handling my traffic

Killing a product line that had been a substantially part of the development focus of the company. We had to rationalise resources and the investment still required to go to market was still substantial. My biggest learning in that case is to think GTM from day one and ensuring that you can see a return on investment as fast as possible

Making decisions based on poor or incomplete data... that is the reality of product management - as much as you want to be data driven you will ALWAYS have to make a decision where you go: "I wish i knew more about X" ... the craft is to understand when that piece of information is critical versus when it is of minor impact

We make it easier and faster for product developers to understand their users

Listen (or observe) one customer / user at least once per week. Do not try to gate keep your team - facilitate them to learn / listen to feedback from all sources. Do not become a single point of contact or bottleneck Do not become the NO person when working with stakeholders - often their ideas are rooted in deep knowledge... work with your stakeholders to flesh their ideas and connect...

I guess not directly for Developers ... but we are building a platform to analyse customer and user feedback and make it actionable - this aims to help developers (and designers and product managers) understand the users they are building for better

Depends on what I'm building... I've used wordpress, wix, shopiffy as well as building completely from scratch and hosting on GCP or Azure

Depends on what value your "wrapper" is generating... Are you significantly improving the experience for your target users? Does your "wrapper" contain significant IP that goes beyond prompt engineering?

If you are building a fully fledged text search, i'd strongly recommend a search engine. You have off the shelf products like: Algolia, Constructor.io, etc Or if you want more homegrown solutions: elasticsearch, Atlas Search (mongDB atlas) I've built search experiences based on elasticsearch and atlas search - quite easy to get a functional, usable search but starts to get complicated...
