Stop Adding AI to Everything — Here's How to Know When You Actually Need It | Ep.10

Most products don't need AI. Here's how to know if yours does. In this episode, I'm giving you the AI Necessity Test — a 5-question scoring framework to objectively evaluate whether any feature actually needs AI, or whether you're just adding complexity for the sake of a buzzword. Here's the reality: 40% of "AI features" could be solved with simple rules. AI costs 5–10x more to maintain than traditional code. And 30% of shipped AI features generate zero measurable ROI. What you'll learn: → The 5-question AI Necessity Test (with a scoring system) → When traditional software beats AI — 6 common scenarios → The ROI framework for AI features with real cost numbers → How to push back on stakeholders who demand "AI for everything" → A live scorecard walkthrough with real product examples 🎓 This is Episode 10 of 50 — a FREE, zero-to-hero AI series for Product Managers.
