What to expect

See how an experienced product leader uses AI in real product work at ProductTank Frankfurt on 26 August 2026,without hype or theory.

AI workflows that hold up in practice

The range of AI tools aimed at product teams keeps expanding: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, Langdock, NotebookLM, ChatPRD and Claude Code are just some of the options. This practical session asks a more useful question: which tools genuinely deserve a place in a product manager’s daily workflow?

Thomas will share examples from his own work, showing what he automates, what he continues to do manually and where he refuses to outsource judgment to AI. Rather than presenting a generic list of prompts or a recap of the AI hype cycle, he will examine workflows that have been tested in day-to-day product management.

Topics will include:

  • Transcript analysis and competitor scraping
  • Practical automations for product work
  • AI-assisted coding workflows
  • Tasks where AI saves meaningful time
  • Cases where correcting AI output takes longer than doing the work yourself
  • The decisions and strategic thinking that still require human judgment

About the speaker

Thomas is a Cologne-based product leader focused on AI and data products. He completed a PhD in machine learning at the University of Cambridge before working as a product manager at Yelp, Apheris and Blinkist. Across those roles, he led applied machine-learning projects connecting technology with product strategy. He now works as a freelance product manager, helping teams create AI products that deliver practical value rather than novelty alone.

The session is especially relevant to product managers, product leaders and people building AI or data products who want a balanced view of AI adoption. Expect concrete inspiration alongside candid discussion of limitations and trade-offs,not an argument for using AI everywhere.

Hosted by ProductTank Frankfurt, the evening combines a focused talk, open discussion and informal networking:…
