Tell ChatGPT it's a product manager overseeing engineers and providing executive summaries. Create a system that feeds executive emails inquiring about project statuses into ChatGPT and emails the developers asking for updates. Developers reply with jargon-heavy details about tickets for next milestone, ChatGPT writes an executive summary that eliminates jargon and sends to executives.

Not the full job, but it can probably be built right now.

And no emails are even necessary (it can scan all internal systems and repositories instead).

This is a project managers job not a engineering managers job.

OP said “product manager” which is also wrong. Funny how these three very different roles constantly get mixed up by smart engineers.

It would make things a lot easier if it was all one big AI. Lets refer to it as The company.

Maybe because from the POV of engineers, they all look kind of the same and half of it doesn't make sense.

The bad version of all three look exactly the same. And the bad version of all three are actually worse than nobody at all. Yet, high management is completely convinced those people are essential so they'd rather keep a bad professional there than get rid of them.

Anyway, the good version of those three are completely different, and add a ton of value on very different places. I think they are rare enough that many people don't ever meet one of them.

Titles--bloody titles! The AI doesn't care what its title is.

And unlike code, if the model fails it'll be more obvious and less costly.
