🥞🚀 Launch: CURSOR FOR PRODUCT MANAGERS (free!)

I just beta-launched Cursor for Product Managers! A complete guide to Cursor for PM use cases – taught IN Cursor, so everything is immediately and directly applicable.

Get it by Friday by commenting “Cursor” on the platform of your choice:

Otherwise, all subscribers will get it once it’s out of beta in a few weeks.

Your comment obviously helps these posts get more exposure, and I really appreciate it.

More visibility = more PMs building with AI. That’s my mission.

If you’re subscribed to this newsletter, you know about Cursor, the AI coding tool at the epicenter of vibe coding.

But it’s not just for coding. At it’s core, Cursor is really just an LLM + file editor. Of course code lives in files, but so do the things PMs work with, like documents and data.

Many PMs are just too intimidated by it’s IDE / engineer vibes, so I built a free course to help you learn to use Cursor for product work. In it, you’ll learn everything from using Cursor for writing PRDs to doing competitive research to crafting product strategy.

And it uses Cursor's own features (slash commands, project rules, teaching scripts) to teach you those same features. You learn Cursor IN Cursor!

It's meta, and it works.

By Friday, Cursor will be reading 100 user interviews and finding patterns for you. By next week, you'll have it monitoring competitor launches and updating your strategy docs automatically.

I’ll send this course to all subscribers in a few weeks.

BUT if you want to get it this week, I’ve launched it on LinkedIn and X – if you comment “Cursor” on the platform of your choice I will get you this course by Friday at the latest.
