AI Product Manager / Product Owner at AI Product
- Generative AI products for corporate clients, owned from strategy through specification to production.
- Central strategy, local configuration: multi-tenant AI assistant for occupational pension schemes (bAV), delivered as an interactive avatar with text and voice path. Three tenants run on one codebase, each with its own conversation guide, while the knowledge base, guardrails and escalation paths stay central
- Versioned, AI-ready knowledge base composed into a tenant-agnostic voice context and tenant-specific text prompts — the configuration layer that keeps local adaptation from forking the product
- Conversational design: answer limits, scope and off-topic handling, anti-hallucination rules, escalation and lead handover to human advisors
- Five eval suites as a quality gate before any prompt or model change (anti-hallucination, LLM-as-judge failure modes, multi-turn consistency, voice KPIs, action vocabulary with confusion matrix); user test with 10 testers (Hamburg, 07/2026) drove the rework from alpha to beta
- Coordinated external developers, compliance and client stakeholders; GDPR-compliant EU stack, IDD-compliant, EU AI Act classification documented
- Second product line: white-label social media generator for consultancy chilli mind (CH/DE) — one codebase, per-client branding and configuration
- Results: 239+ deployments and a pilot with corporate customers · 108+ deployments for the white-label product · repeatable pattern for multi-tenant AI products in a regulated environment
