I Plan Products for the Future. I’m Still Figuring Out My Own.
I’m a consumer researcher and product planner with 10 years of experience studying how people use technology. AI Survival is where I turn that work into practical guides for planning products with AI.
I use AI and find it useful. But sometimes I finish a task and wonder whether I’ve learned anything, or just gotten better at asking for an answer. This site is how I work through that.
Where I’m coming from
I studied Media Communication and Human-Computer Interaction, then started out in consumer research. Now I work in product planning. Some of that work improves products people already use. Some of it looks years ahead, at products that don’t exist yet.
One question runs through all of it: how does technology change people? With AI, that question became personal.
Three questions I keep asking
- Am I learning, or just getting things done? Working through an unclear problem is how I find out what I think. A polished answer can skip that part.
- What is my experience worth now? A convincing document and a good decision aren’t the same thing. Context, judgment, and responsibility still matter.
- Where should I draw the line? Which decisions do I want to keep making myself, even when AI could help?
What you’ll find here
- Product planning guides: each stage step by step, with prompts you can copy.
- The checks AI still needs: where it gets things wrong, and what to verify before you trust it.
- Side project logs: real projects and what happens to them, posted as the work moves forward.
I don’t have a formula for succeeding with AI. But if a supposedly easy AI project turns into much more work than you expected, you’ll know you have company.
A note on language: I’m Korean. Writing in English still takes some work, so I use AI to help me express and edit my thoughts here, too. That makes this blog one of the experiments.
