AI PM interview guides

AI PM interviews now assume fluency: LLM fundamentals, retrieval and fine-tuning tradeoffs, and what changes when your feature's behavior is probabilistic instead of deterministic.

These guides cover the decision frameworks interviewers test — should this feature use AI at all, build vs buy for AI components, defining success metrics for ML features — plus the responsibility layer: AI safety, guardrails, and responsible-AI questions that senior loops increasingly include.

If you are interviewing for an AI-adjacent PM role at a FAANG-scale company, start with the AI product strategy guide and the LLM fundamentals refresher, then drill the metrics and guardrails guides.
