How to Get Your Team to Start Prototyping with AI | Jeremy Epling (CPO Vanta)
About this episode
Today, I want to share a new episode with Jeremy Epling.
Jeremy is the CPO of Vanta and former VP of Product at Github. He showed me the exact template that he used to get his entire team to prototype with AI, his favorite AI workflows for PM work, and why now might be the best time to be an IC PM. We also did a deep dive on how Vanta ran AI evaluations for their new AI agent.
