Visual primers for product leaders

AI, ML, specs and agents, as pictures

Four modules sharing one visual language. Every idea is a diagram first; open the panels inside each module for why it matters, the mechanics, or a basics refresher.

Module 1 of 4

AI Foundations

What a model actually is, how a chat assistant gets built, and the four ways you can turn one into a product. Every idea is a picture first; open the panels when you want the mechanics or a refresher on the underlying tech.

ML Fundamentals

How a model learns from data, how you know whether it is any good, and how it gets from a notebook into a product. This is the ring underneath LLMs, and it still runs most of the AI in production. Sections 04 and 09 carry the diagnostic habits from Andrew Ng's Stanford CS229.

Spec-Driven Development

When AI agents write the code, the specification becomes the work. This module shows the loop, what a spec has to contain, where people stay in charge, and what a product leader's week looks like when prototypes take hours.

Agentic AI

Follows Andrew Ng's DeepLearning.AI course 'Agentic AI' (Coursera, updated September 2026) at leadership altitude: the autonomy spectrum, why iteration beats a bigger model, the four design patterns, and the evaluation discipline that separates demos from products.
