Welcome

GenAI Now and Next

22 June 2026 · 7N AI Path

Goal for this session: you will have a perspective on where GenAI is — and where it’s going.

  • I will show a robust setup — not to copy, but to see how parallel work scales.
  • I will answer questions as we go.

Check-in

Five levels of AI

You can go further than you expect.

Where are you?
And how far do you want to go?

Your facilitator

About me

Keypoint: I teach from the setup I use on client work — ask questions anytime.

  • Consultant and trainer: what you see here is what I run on real engagements.
  • Tools move faster than teams adopt them — this session is here to close that gap.

4 23

Pattern for everyone — not an install list

My tech stack

Keypoint: Bounded contexts unlock parallel work.

  • 4–6 streams — one bounded context each.
  • Reach files + tools — CLI, Copilot, or client apps.
  • Map yours in the sheet — tools you use + one gap.

Write your stack

* cli=command line interface

Less friction → more throughput

The middleware is disappearing

Keypoint: Fewer handoffs — room to run more workstreams in parallel.

  • Less middleware — AI creates, you check.
  • AI connects to your files and approved tools.
  • Steer more streams by cutting steps, not typing faster.

The productivity payoff

Plan and control shift

Keypoint: When AI runs execution, you can plan and steer more workstreams at once.

How ready are you to shift from doing the work to guiding AI that does it?

Same pattern — PM briefs and dev repos

Project and files

Keypoint: One bounded space per engagement — AI stays inside; swap tools, not context.

  • Files or tenant spaces — AI works inside your boundary.
  • Context stays put when you change model or vendor.
  • PM briefs and dev repos — one engagement, one folder.

Working with AI

Focus the model — narrow the wedge

LLMs go in many directions. Your job is to focus the model.

  • What to ignore and what to prioritize.
  • Name who reviews before it ships.
  • A strong prompt becomes a skill.

Working with AI

Focus the model — interactive explorer

Narrow the prompt wedge — open in a new tab, then return here.

  • Click levels to sharpen a vague prompt.
  • Return to this deck when done.

Working with AI

Skills and loops — level up focused prompts

Save working prompts as skills — reusable instructions for work you repeat.

  • Skill: a saved recipe the model follows each time.
  • Loop: plan → act → check → repeat until your test passes.
  • Start simple; add steps only when they clearly help.

Working with AI

How I update this site

Keypoint: One prompt starts a chain — skills work, personas gate, then ship.

"Add a news-sources slide — link to my Google Doc source guide."

  • Personas review before any slide file changes.

12 23

Dev example — goal, loop, your approval

From prompt to goal

Keypoint: Give AI a clear goal — it loops until done while you steer and review.

  • /goal keeps Codex working until the objective is met.
  • You pause, redirect, or approve — same pattern as PM skills.
  • Good goals name success criteria, limits, and proof.

Staying safe

When Fable 5 access disappeared

Recommendation: keep your data portable before a model becomes unavailable.

  • Access can change overnight; your data should not.
  • Back up prompts, files, and decisions outside the AI tool.
  • Keep local copies so you can switch models.

Value in practice

Consulting and GenAI — 2026 takeaways

Keypoint: the admin work shrinks; judgment and orchestration grow.

  • Real now: draft, summarize, retrieve — across PM and delivery work.
  • Bottleneck: workflow maturity — not model power. Hype: autonomous delivery.

Value in practice

The modern AI PM — age of agents

Keypoint: shape problems clearly — agents build; you judge what ships.

  • Translation layer compresses — spec is becoming the product.
  • Problem shaping, context curation, and taste — core PM skills.
  • Bottleneck upstream: what’s worth building.

Value in practice

Where AI creates value

Recommendation: find verbs you repeat — skills, loops, and your approval before anything ships.

  • Any process with a repeated verb is a skill candidate.
  • Loop until your test passes: “Would I send this as-is?”

17 23

Value in practice

Update stakeholders

Recommendation: use AI when change needs a fast, consistent update.

  • Skill: turn rough notes into a stakeholder brief.
  • Loop: detect change → draft update → you approve.
  • Works for projects, delivery, support, and leadership.

18 23

Value in practice

Developer — review and triage

Recommendation: start reviews with a summary — you verify before you comment or merge.

  • Skill: PR diff summary plus risk flags for reviewers.
  • Skill: test failure triage from logs and stack traces.

19 23

Value in practice

Developer — ship with confidence

Recommendation: shipping is a verb too — draft the boring parts, you own the final wording.

  • Skill: release notes from commits or changelog entries.
  • Loop: collect → draft → you trim → publish.

Staying current

Which model is the best?

No permanent winner — pick the model for the task, not the headline.

  • Leaderboards shift weekly — signals, not gospel.
  • Agent boards test real workflows, not trivia.
  • Stack and guardrails beat whoever is #1 today.
