<p>In this episode, we explore how AI is fundamentally changing what’s possible for Product Managers, even if you have never written a single line of code before.Mikhail Shcheglov, CPO ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/scheglovm1/ )of the largest e-commerce marketplace in Azerbaijan, shows how he uses AI tools like Claude Code together with Cursor to build real, production-ready applications from scratch, live. From generating full project specifications, setting up architecture, and creating frontend and backend components, to analyzing massive datasets and supporting product discovery.We cover: • How non-engineers can build real web apps with AI • Why context engineering beats prompt engineering • Using AI agents as architects, backend, and frontend engineers • Where tools like Lovable, Replit, and Bolt fall short • How Product Managers can prototype, test, and ship MVPs themselves • Applying the same setup to data analysis, A/B tests, and discovery • Practical guardrails for using AI safely inside organizationsThis is not about replacing engineers. It is about empowering Product Managers to move faster, think broader, and experiment without waiting weeks or months.</p>
