About this session
AI is quickly becoming a core part of how modern professionals work, but using it well takes more than trying a few prompts. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you use AI more effectively in your day-to-day work, based on your role, goals, and workflows. Whether you want to save time, improve output quality, learn better prompting, or understand how AI fits into your field, this session gives you practical guidance you can apply right away.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to explore where AI can be most useful for you, how to use the right tools with more intention, and how to avoid common mistakes or shallow workflows. Together, you can review use cases, refine prompting, build better habits, and think through how AI can support research, writing, analysis, communication, coding, or decision-making in your specific context. The goal is to leave with clearer use cases, stronger workflows, and more confidence in applying AI to real work.
Your mentor
I'm a Senior Technical Product Manager with 10+ years of experience building technology products. At Amazon, I led generative AI work for Alexa Shopping, a shopping assistant serving more than 76 million U.S. customers. That included deciding how to measure AI response quality and when an experience was ready to launch. I also build AI workflows myself with Python, Claude Code, and Cursor. I've coached product, science, and engineering teams on judging and improving AI output.
In this session, we'll take one workflow you want to improve and work through it together:
where your time is going
what AI can realistically handle
where a human should stay in the loop
how to test a small change before you roll it out
You'll leave with a practical first step, not a theory. No technical plan is needed beforehand.
