I asked AI to Build a Competitor to My Own Product. It Did. Here’s What I Learned.

Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

What's the most expensive PM decision you've made on bad data?

I've spent 30 years in product. Built and launched close to 115 products for companies like Sony Music and Zee Entertainment where I worked, for my own company and for companies that I consulted.

The most common pattern I've seen kill good products isn't bad strategy. It's decisions made with false confidence where the data looked complete but wasn't, and nobody said so out loud.
