ChatGPT Integration with InsideSpin
As a validation of AI-augmented article writing, InsideSpin has integrated ChatGPT to help flesh out unfinished articles at the moment they are requested. If you have been a past InsideSpin user, you may have noticed not all articles are fully fleshed out. While every article has a summary, only about half are fleshed out. Decisions about what to finish has been based on user interest over the years. With this POC, ChatGPT will use the InsideSpin article summary as the basis of the prompt, and return an expanded article adding insight from its underlying model. The instances are being stored for later analysis to choose one that best represents the intent of InsideSpin which the author can work with to finalize. This is a trial of an AI-augmented approach.

AI for Product Teams
Over the last 30 years or so, the number of coders has grown dramatically to accommodate professional needs. Starting below a million in the US in the early 90’s, it is estimated there are well over 30 million professional software engineers as we head into 2025. That count does not include the millions and millions of web development tool users managing their own needs, with little formal coding training, relying on tools such as WordPress, HubSpot, Spotify, GoDaddy, and AWS to generate the templated code that is needed.
The Rise of AI in Coding
For anyone who has used AI coding tools like CoPilot from GitHub, it is easy to see that AI tools thrive in generating code. They are largely semantic language engines after all. Given most coding languages are meant to be semantically unambiguous for a computer to execute the code properly, the sophistication AI embodies to understand and generate ambiguous spoken languages like English is largely left unneeded. Code-generating tools still suffer from garbage-in/garbage-out risks, as do AI chat tools like ChatGPT. This is where AI-augmented skills for human operators become critical to get the value you want to realize and possibly preserve jobs.
Challenges with AI Tools
- Dependence on quality input data to generate useful output.
- Need for human oversight to ensure code meets specific standards and requirements.
- Risks of over-reliance on AI leading to skill degradation among coders.
The Role of Product Managers
For Product Managers, the essence of the Product role is the synthesis of streams of requirements to create the output an Engineering team can use economically to build and a business can take to market to generate revenue. The more unambiguous and consistent the output a Product team can produce, the more likely coders and sales teams will be able to meet the identified needs. While there is a general risk of homogenization of thought and approach as we become dependent on AI—similar to what was seen with spreadsheets in Finance long ago—the benefit for Product is alignment, consistency, and completeness of analysis from the generated artifacts produced over time.
Impact of AI on Product Management
- Enhanced ability to analyze data and market trends.
- Improved collaboration between teams through clearer communication of requirements.
- Increased efficiency in gathering and synthesizing feedback.
Transforming Roles with AI
Coders and Product Managers are two of the areas most ripe to be transformed through the comprehensive adoption of AI. Jobs will change, and it is essential to explore how to migrate your talents to where AI drives them. As AI tools become more prevalent, the job landscape will evolve, necessitating an adjustment in skills and roles.
Strategies for Adaptation
- Invest in continuous learning and upskilling in AI technologies.
- Foster collaboration between technical and non-technical teams to leverage diverse skill sets.
- Utilize AI tools not as replacements but as enhancements to human capabilities.
Conclusion
The transformation brought about by AI in the technology sector presents both challenges and opportunities. As the number of professional software engineers continues to rise, the integration of AI tools into the coding and product management processes can lead to increased efficiency and better alignment across teams. However, it is crucial to approach this integration thoughtfully, ensuring that human oversight and skill development remain a priority. By understanding the transformative potential of AI and adapting accordingly, professionals in the technology industry can position themselves for success in an ever-evolving landscape.
