Gathering and prioritizing customer feedback - at scale! - is an incredible challenge. A decade ago, we standardized on portals where customers can contribute, sort, search, comment, and vote on ideas. Product Managers spent hours, days, and weeks triaging responses, responding to ideas, and generally becoming frustrated with not being able to keep up with the amount of incoming feedback! Today, Pendo launches Listen as part of the Pendo One Platform. It is such a massive step forward in how we can capture customer feedback from seemingly endless sources, collate, summarize, intelligently route, validate, and take action on it. It's really magically and scales beautifully. I think it focuses in on the difference between hearing the voice of your customer and truly listening. Hearing is about a single sense. Listening involves all of your senses. Pendo Listen deeply integrates our quantitative analytics, integrations, and replay to Listen to your customer and take action.

Beyond traditional platforms, niche online communities offer a powerful way to connect with potential customers. According to Sprinklr's Haitham ElKhatib, Gen Z, known for its digital dependency, is a generation that businesses cannot afford to overlook. They prefer platforms that provide authentic and community-driven experiences, and one such platform is Reddit. Read the full article here: http://ms.spr.ly/6049mQH9z

Had a blast chatting with Manasi on the Wharton Tech Club's Podcast. We talked about how Zillow's cutting-edge AI powers tools that continue to improve and evolve our product suite, how we’re approaching GenAI in this “teenage phase,” and my top tips for Product Managers with this latest AI wave. Last, but not least, what books I rely on daily and my two favorite classes as a Wharton Undergrad. Manasi asked for just one, but I had to include MGMT 101 where I met my wife as a favorite class, too.

It’s eye-opening to see how AI model businesses are dealing with tight margins despite big investments. 🤯 Aidan Gomez’s comments about the “zero margin business” highlight the fierce competition and price cuts in the industry. 💸 With giants like OpenAI and Anthropic lowering prices to stay ahead, it’s a tough time for startups. The future of AI might depend on finding new ways to make these technologies profitable. 🚀 #AI #MachineLearning #TechTrends #Startups https://lnkd.in/ejkDu_wT

About twenty years ago, I was a doctoral candidate at Caltech during an “AI winter,” struggling with basic feature engineering. Today at Salesforce, we're developing autonomous systems that can understand, act, and continuously learn—a fundamental shift from where we began. Our vision extends beyond large language models to Large Action Models—AI systems that don't just process language, but take meaningful actions and improve through environmental feedback. These agents have the ability to make day-to-day business decisions for us, and over time will surely help the human-at-the-helm inform the very trajectory of business as we know it.  I recently discussed this evolution with my favorite futurist @Peter Schwartz at Dreamforce, exploring how we got here and where we're headed. From the early days of neural networks to today's transformer architecture, the acceleration of innovation never ceases to amaze me. What once took decades now happens in months. What takes months today will take days in the future.  Read our conversation on the future of autonomous AI and its implications for enterprise transformation here: https://sforce.co/40bwcX3. And thanks for your great facilitation, @Itai Asseo! #AIResearch #HistoryofAI #FutureofAI

AI can be an incredibly powerful technology for creating valuable products. However the golden rule – “Do not delegate thinking” –becomes most critical than ever. AI can seriously hallucinate, lack the right context, and become a source of quality and originality regression. Great article by Itamar Gilad
