• Hands-on comfort using AI tools in daily product work (e.g., prompt-based research, summarization, synthesis, draft specifications, competitive scans, workflow mapping, data exploration support) with appropriate judgment and confidentiality
• Familiarity with AI product patterns and risks: understanding of model limitations (hallucinations, bias, drift), evaluation approaches, and product mechanisms to improve reliability (human-in-the-loop, citations/grounding, guardrails, feedback loops)
• Collaboration with engineering/data/ML partners to translate user needs into AI-assisted capabilities (e.g., retrieval augmented generation, workflow orchestration, model evaluation metrics)
• Comfort working with APIs and data in product contexts, including reading API specifications, understanding request/response patterns, authentication, rate limits, and common failure modes
