📺 Watch this episode


Everyone is racing to “add AI” to their workflow. Very few are rethinking how work itself should feel in an AI-first world.In this episode of Founders’ Foyer, I sit down with Anjan Panneer Selvam, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Acolyte Health, to unpack what AI is actually changing inside modern product organisations.This isn’t a surface-level conversation about tools. We go deeper, into how product roles are being rewritten, not replaced, and how AI kills tasks, not careers.Anjan shares how his team uses AI to run product end-to-end: recording meetings, turning insights into decisions, and aligning teams through fast prototyping instead of long PRDs. He breaks down real workflows and leadership practices that help teams move faster ,without losing judgment.You’ll hear honest insights on:
Why Product Manager, design, and engineering roles aren’t dying , they’re evolving
Treating AI as a teammate, not just a tool
How judgment becomes the most valuable skill in the AI era
Building with prototypes first, PRDs later
Communal learning, micro-learning, and reducing AI fear inside teams
New frictions AI creates: choice overload, false progress and decision fatigue

If you’re a product manager, founder, designer, engineer, or builder wondering how to stay relevant , this conversation will change how you think about work, leadership, and AI.This isn’t about being faster. It’s about being clearer.
