AI Product Manager

Yuvan Kumar.

I build AI products that actually work, not just ones that demo well. I started in operations, so I care more about what ships than what's on a roadmap slide. Most of my calls are backed by a number, not a hunch.

Building since May 2017. That's and counting.

--about

Building AI products is a different game. AI never gives the same answer twice, so you have to define what "good" looks like with real users, not just plan and ship. That's where I do my best work.

I help startups build AI tools that scale, and get their brand visible across AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. There's a name for that second part: Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO. I'll probably mention it a few more times before this page is done.
