When three minutes isn't enough.
Hand-picked external courses, docs, papers and video series. Every entry says who it's for and roughly how long it takes, so you don't start a 40-hour course to answer a 40-minute question.
Machine Learning Crash Course
↗Google's own ML primer with interactive exercises. The fastest credible route from "no idea" to "I can read a model card".
Introduction to Generative AI path
↗LLMs, embeddings, responsible AI and Vertex. Feeds directly into the Gen AI Leader exam.
Neural Networks: Zero to Hero
↗Builds a transformer from scratch on video. Hard, worth it, and the best cure for treating models as magic.
Neural networks, visually
↗If backpropagation has never clicked, watch this before reading another explainer.
Hugging Face LLM Course
↗Practical and code-first. Fine-tuning, tokenizers, datasets - for PMs who want to run something, not just discuss it.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
↗This article looks at where foundation models fall short and how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) fixes those gaps for chat, search, and agentic workflows.
Prompt Engineering Guide
↗The reference I keep open. Techniques, failure modes and papers, kept current - better than any paid prompt course.
Short Courses library
↗Built with the model vendors. The fastest way to stay current on a specific technique.
Practical Deep Learning for Coders
↗Top-down teaching - you train a model in lesson one. Needs real Python.
Kaggle Learn
↗Short notebook-based micro-courses. Intro to ML and Feature Engineering are the useful two.
Anthropic learning resources
↗Vendor material that is unusually candid about limitations. Good on prompting and agent design.
OpenAI Academy
↗Introductory and applied tracks. Useful for bringing a non-technical team up to a shared vocabulary.
AI for Beginners
↗A structured twelve-week curriculum on GitHub. Dry, thorough, and genuinely complete.
SVPG articles
↗The closest thing to a canon for empowered product teams. Start with "Product vs. Feature Teams" and work backwards.
Lenny's Newsletter
↗Deep operator interviews and benchmarks. The free archive alone beats most paid courses.
MCP for Beginners
↗This YouTube tutorial from Microsoft Developers is very helpful for beginners who want to learn about MCP.
Reforge Artifacts
↗Real PRDs, strategy docs and launch plans from real companies. Steal the structure, not the content.
Team Playbook
↗Short, practical playbooks on agile ceremonies and team workflows - sprints, retros, roadmapping formats - no signup required and no fluff.
Mind the Product
↗Conference talks and articles. Good for breadth and for spotting what's current.
Product Book Recommendations
↗The foundations of product management matter most. I've found these two books especially helpful for building a strong PM career.
OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications
↗The threat list every AI PM should be able to recite. Prompt injection, data leakage, supply chain, excessive agency.
AI Security Fundamentals
↗Want to learn more about AI security? This learning path helps you understand the basic concepts of AI security.
