When AI handles delivery, what happens to the role of a product manager? Vilde Opsal is joined by Senior Product Manager Anna Eckerborn Olsson and Product Manager Armin Walian to explore how augmented workflows are reshaping product development at Vend. Armin shares how his team stopped writing code manually, allowing him to push bug fixes directly, while Anna dives into Project Nemo and the challenges of exploring open-ended product spaces. They discuss building knowledge bases in GitHub, managing team cognitive load, avoiding the trap of shipping without thinking, and why blurring the lines between product, UX, and tech makes this the most exciting time to be a PM.

How do you build a centralised AI product team when your ultimate goal is to make yourself redundant? In this episode, Vilde Opsal talks with Rob Van Sundert, Director AI Product Improvement, about running a unit with a strict 1,000-day expiration date. Rob shares how the team started small by shipping quick value to earn organisational trust, how they move from minor feature improvements to rethinking entire user journeys, and why low ego and high chaos tolerance matter more than years of experience when building AI products.

What happens when a CFO realises their 20 years of experience might not protect them from becoming obsolete? In this episode, host Vilde Opsal sits down with Vend CFO Per Christian Mørland and AI Tools and Integration Specialist Thomas Eide to talk about the reality of bringing AI into finance. PC shares the middle-of-the-night panic that pushed him to sign up for our internal builder program, drop social media, and block out hours every day to learn coding basics. Together with Thomas, they explore why AI problems are almost always data problems in disguise, how pairing domain experts with technical builders changes everything, and how real-time data access is replacing traditional reporting tools.
