Maven: The AI-Native PM Workshop Series

Lenny Rachitsky, who runs Lenny’s Newsletter, put together a free workshop series on Maven in February 2026. The series is called The AI-Native PM and collects over 20 on-demand sessions taught by practitioners from Google, Meta, Amazon, Spotify, and Palantir. All workshops are free and available immediately without a waiting list.

The content is organized into three themes. The first covers AI workflows — practical demonstrations of how to integrate tools like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and MCP into day-to-day PM work, from running user research to generating product requirements. The second theme is about becoming more technical: AI evaluation frameworks, understanding what AI models can and cannot do, and raising your technical bar without becoming an engineer. The third theme addresses product sense and influence — how to build AI products that work for users, position them internally, and earn cross-functional buy-in.

Instructors include Dr. Marily Nika (Gen AI PM Lead at Google), Hamel Husain (ML engineer and AI evaluation specialist), Wes Kao, Peter Yang, Tal Raviv, Aman Khan, Hila Qu, and Ben Tossell, among others. Each workshop runs independently, so you can watch them in any order depending on what is most relevant to your current work. Individual sessions have been taken by between 12,000 and 16,000 students, which gives a sense of how widely the content has been shared.

The workshops do not offer certificates, live Q&A, or personalized feedback — they are pre-recorded and self-paced. If you need structured cohort accountability or direct access to instructors, you would need a paid course elsewhere. But for a PM who wants to update their working knowledge of AI tools quickly and for free, this series covers more practical ground per hour than most paid alternatives.

The series is best suited to product managers who are already using some AI tools but have not yet developed a systematic approach to them. It will be less useful for someone with no prior exposure to AI workflows, as the sessions assume you are comfortable with at least the basics of prompting and tool use.
