Ai Shaped Readiness Advisor

Most teams using AI tools are just automating the same old work faster, which isn't strategic. This walks you through a maturity assessment across five competencies (context design, agent orchestration, outcome acceleration, team facilitation, and strategic differentiation) to figure out if you're "AI-first" or genuinely "AI-shaped." The distinction matters: if competitors can replicate your AI usage by throwing more people at the problem, you're not differentiated. Takes 15-20 minutes and gives you a concrete recommendation on which capability to build next. Honest take: the context design section alone, with its diagnostic questions about context stuffing versus context engineering, is worth the time if you've been jamming entire PRDs into ChatGPT and wondering why outputs feel generic.

Purpose

Assess whether your product work is "AI-first" (using AI to automate existing tasks faster) or "AI-shaped" (fundamentally redesigning how product teams operate around AI capabilities). Use this to evaluate your readiness across 5 essential PM competencies for 2026, identify gaps, and get concrete recommendations on which capability to build first.

Key Distinction: AI-first is cute (using Copilot to write PRDs faster). AI-shaped is survival (building a durable "reality layer" that both humans and AI trust, orchestrating AI workflows, compressing learning cycles).

This is not about AI tools—it's about organizational redesign around AI as co-intelligence. The interactive skill guides you through a maturity assessment, then recommends your next move.

Input

Works best with: A description of how your team currently uses AI in its product work — even 'barely' is a valid answer. Also useful: Team size, product domain, and which of the 5 competencies you suspect is weakest.
