Diego Granados

I'm a Product Manager with experience working cross-functionally with business roles (e.g. Marketing, Finance, Sales), technical roles (e.g. Backend and front-end engineers, data scientists) as well as designers and UX researchers to bring products to life that make our users' problems and pain-points go away!

I have experience working with Web and Mobile products, AI and Machine Learning - There's something really fascinating about using data to try and predict the future. I'm a big believer that every model should be thoroughly thought from an AI Ethics point of view.

As a product manager I have to wear different hats every day and I excel at working cross-functionally. My experience and feedback has taught me that I bring value to the teams I work with because:

- I empathize with users and speak: geek, data whisperer, designer, marketer and salesperson. At some point I also tried to learn Shriiwook (I've always wanted to understand Chewbacca like Han did). Understanding means fewer mistakes, and mistakes can be very costly.

- I'm passionate about understanding customers, too many people use "customer obsession" as buzzwords in their resume.

- I leave the BIG ideas to the Elon Musks of the world. A good Strategy, Vision and Execution drives products forward - I do these three.

- I'm an engineer at heart and a musician at soul - I like to combine logic with creativity

- I'm the calm one. I'm the one that plans.

I'm passionate about helping others and I created a YouTube channel to help others learn about Product Management: https://www.youtube.com/c/PMDiegoGranados/

Huge thanks to the 100+ people who joined my Stanford course at continuing studies. Seeing everyone build and present real prototypes on Google AI Studio on a Saturday was 🔥

No alternative text description for this image

Wow. I just built 3 mini-apps for PMs in under 10 minutes: an empathy mapper, a journey analyzer, and a competitive analysis tool with Opal (Google Labs).
No PRD. No Figma. No tickets.
Just an idea → an experience.

Instead of debating documents, I’m now sharing working mini-apps with my team ask them "react to this, let’s refine it”

I used Opal to prototype the vibe with an:
-Empathy Mapper
-User Journey Analyzer
-Competitive Landscape Tool

Each one took minutes. Each one was immediately shareable. Each one changed the conversation.

Use Opal when:
-You want to validate an idea before writing a PRD
-You need a quick tool for a workshop or meeting
-You want to make research or concepts visible
-You want to better empathize about your user

Think of Opal as your 10-minute lab. If it takes longer than that, move it to a full prototype — that’s where other AI prototyping tools come in.

Tips for PMs adopting this workflow
-Start tiny.
Your first Opal app should take under ten minutes. That constraint keeps you focused on intent, not polish.
-Think in verbs, not nouns.
Prompts like “summarize feedback” or “visualize trends” produce far better prototypes than static descriptions.
-Collaborate live.
Invite designers, engineers, and stakeholders into the session. Watching the prototype evolve creates alignment faster than any meeting.
-Reflect.
After every prototype, note what worked. Each build sharpens your prompting instincts and your product intuition.

Saturday ChatGPT inspiration from my friend Hantz. Prompt I used:
“Create a caricature of me based on my job and everything you note about me.”

What surprised me:
2 laptops → one for my day job, one for my creator life
Teaching + building showing up as one system, not two identities
Subtle details I didn’t ask for that apparently carry everywhere 🇬🇷
