Claire Vo built ChatPRD—an on-demand chief product officer powered by AI. It’s now used by over 10,000 product managers and is pulling in six figures in revenue.
The best part?
Claire has a demanding day job as the CPO at LaunchDarkly. So she built all of ChatPRD herself—over the weekend—with AI.
I sat down with Claire to talk about how ChatPRD works, how she built it as a side hustle using AI, and all of the ways she’s using AI tools to accelerate her work and life.
We get into:
- How she used AI to build ChatPRD over Thanksgiving break
- The part of product management that Claire thinks AI will disrupt
- Why the PMs of tomorrow will be “proto-managers” who create prototypes rather than just specs
- How junior PMs can use AI to upskill faster
- The ways in which ChatPRD is baked into her own workflow
- How building ChatPRD is making Claire a better PM
- How Claire uses AI as a tech-forward parent
This is a must-watch for anyone interested in turning their side hustle into a thriving business or who works in product.
