Build Real AI Products (Fast): Product Manager to Community Builder with Kurt Yang (Fintech & EdTech, RAG, Embedded Finance)
From banker to PM to community catalyst, Kurt Yang shares how non-engineers are shipping functional AI prototypes, validating with customers, and turning meetups into massive and strong ecosystems.
Chapters:
4:17 – Community lessons for PMs
8:34 – De-risking AI with stakeholders
12:50 – Tooling spotlight: Lovable in practice
17:07 – Prototyping workflows that scale
21:24 – Embedded finance & risk-based pricing

What you’ll learn
From frustration to community: how Kurt spun up GenAI for Fintech & EdTech and grew it to ~800 members.
Lean PM, real signals: why working, functional prototypes beat pretty mockups—and how to run smoke tests with real users.
Tooling that compounds: using Lovable + Supabase (+ ChatGPT) to ship usable prototypes you can measure.
RAG, demystified: practical walkthroughs and when retrieval-augmented generation actually reduces hallucinations.
Fintech shift: embedded finance + dynamic risk-based pricing and alternative credit scoring to hyper-personalised offers.
Enterprise adoption: winning over senior stakeholders in regulated industries (trust, governance, records).
Founder traps to avoid: solution-first bias, over-scoping; how to pick a lower-risk wedge to earn trust and revenue.
Mindset: “Don’t just think, start.” Momentum over perfection.
