The holidays are here, which means now is the perfect time to catch up on the learning and development you’ve been putting off all year.

Here's your plan: binge-watch six episodes of The Vibe PM and become more productive in 2026 using AI. These six, less-than-10-minute episodes walk you through how to use and incorporate AI into your daily work activities. 

Your holiday AI watch guide:

  • Episode 1: Learn speech-to-text workflows and save 9+ hours a week
  • Episode 2: How to build presentations in minutes, not days
  • Episode 3: Practice “context pulling” for faster prototyping
  • Episode 4: Transform your AI prompts for expert-level outputs 
  • Episode 5: Building a prompt-based application to advance your career
  • Episode 6: Learn the power of “burger prompting” by creating an impactful resume

Watch all six, and you’ll have a new AI skill set that prepares you for a successful 2026. 

Episode 1: Gain 9+ hours/week with speech-to-text

You're typing at 50 words per minute while your brain moves at 200+. That gap is costing you hours every week.

To solve this, Dave walks through five levels of speech-to-text tools, from basic dictation to wearable AI pendants that get you working at the speed of thought. Dave shares his "magic word" trick that transforms scattered voice notes into polished documents.

To start, use the app Superwhisper for context-aware voice input. It knows when you're drafting an email vs. commenting in Slack and adjusts accordingly so you can eliminate one of the biggest bottlenecks - the keyboard.

Episode 2: Create presentations that wow in two steps

Blank slides kill productivity. To get over this hump, Dave shared the exact workflow he used to prep a keynote for 12,000 people at ProductCon London, without the usual week-long deck grind.

Step 1 is a speech-to-text brain dump into Claude. Next, he turns those notes into on-brand slides using Gamma. At the end of the day, the best asset is the rich narrative content you can repurpose into docs, emails, and more.

When doing this, use advanced image prompts to ensure your visuals show diverse representation and avoid AI's default biases. With these tips, you can stop spending days on building slides and spend them on crafting your story instead.

Episode 3: Context pulling for better prototype outputs with LLMs

If you're struggling to get useful outputs from AI, you've been doing it backwards. Stop pushing context into the AI, and start having the AI pull the right context it thinks it needs from you instead.

In this episode, Dave introduces the concept of context pulling, a method where you engineer the AI to interrogate you with the right questions. With this process, you get a spec'd, flow-mapped, demo-ready prototype in under an hour.

When you’re doing this, use Dave's exact prompt (in the episode notes) to build your "virtual PM" that pulls requirements from you through smart questioning and oftentimes ‘better than human’ coaching! Faster discovery cycles mean you validate ideas before the market shifts.

----------------------

Episode 4: Improve your prompting and go from good to great 

Mediocre AI output isn't the AI's fault. Instead, the culprit may be your prompts. To fix this, Claude Console's Prompt Improver transforms simplistic one-liners into expert-level prompts. In this episode, Dave demos the three-part framework: give AI a clear role, define the deliverable, and set a quality bar. Treat the AI like the $500/hour strategy consultant you just hired for the day. Brief it accordingly, and you’ll see far better outputs.

Better prompts lead to more strategic, usable results. This is the skill gap separating good PMs (and AI users) from great ones.

----------------------

Episode 5: Build an AI prompt-based app for career growth

What if you could build an application (complete with memory and intelligence) using just your voice, no coding required? In podcast episode 5, Dave demonstrates how to shift from transactional prompting to building prompt-based applications: sophisticated tools that remember context, ask intelligent questions, and compound value over time.

You learn to build a multi-mode AI Career Coach live on the show that handles weekly check-ins, monthly reflections, and promotion assessments. You’ll start by uploading five key documents (like a career ladder, strengths profile, goals, job description, or last performance review).

Most people treat AI like a search bar, but strategic PMs are building applications like this that build on the context to get “smarter” over time.

----------------------

Episode 6: The AI resume builder that pulls out your best work

You open that resume you haven't touched in months, and your mind goes blank. What did you accomplish? How do you quantify impact? Oftentimes, you end up with vague statements like "led initiatives" that don't help you stand out or prove your worth.

To get around this, Dave shows you a six-phase structured "burger prompt" that conducts an interview with you to surface your forgotten achievements. This is an AI tool that refuses to accept vague answers and continues to ask targeted questions until you've surfaced quantifiable results you can plug into your resume.

It’s time to move from the old way of prompting, where you're guessing what context the AI needs. Instead, you’ll learn how to build and improve prompts so the AI extracts the information it needs from you to create a usable output.
