Analyzing 34,000 Reddit Conversations

Amir Klein is a product manager at Monday.com, leading their AI agents initiative. Despite taking two months of paternity leave, he ranked #4 out of 90 PMs in AI tool usage at his company. In this episode, Amir reveals how he’s become “highly dependent and maybe incapable” of doing his job without AI, showing his custom GPT workflows that help him manage context switching, analyze customer feedback, improve his writing, and prepare for product interviews.

What you’ll learn:

1. How to create project-specific “second brains” in Claude and ChatGPT that hold context for you across multiple workstreams
2. A step-by-step process for using Claude to build a Reddit scraper that gathers thousands of customer conversations, without coding expertise
3. How to analyze large datasets of customer feedback using AI to identify patterns, priorities, and key discussion points
4. A workflow for creating custom GPTs that help you improve specific skills based on manager feedback
5. Techniques for using GPT voice mode to conduct realistic mock interviews that provide candid feedback on your responses
6. Why “everything is text” should be your mindset when feeding information into AI tools, from PDFs to slide decks
7. How to use AI to respond quickly to stakeholder requests even when you’re context switching between multiple projects
