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.
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.
Amplitude Academy
↗Product analytics taught properly — retention, funnels, cohorts, north-star design. Tool-specific but the thinking transfers.
Reforge Artifacts
↗Real PRDs, strategy docs and launch plans from real companies. Steal the structure, not the content.
Mind the Product
↗Conference talks and articles. Good for breadth and for spotting what's current.
Department of Product
↗Practical templates and market breakdowns. Strong on the craft end rather than the philosophy end.
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 Risk Management Framework
↗What your governance and legal teams are going to ask about. Read the core functions; skim the rest.
