How To ACE AI Product Sense Interviews (OpenAI PM Mock Interview)

There are ZERO videos about AI Product Sense interviews on YouTube... until now. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, and Meta AI all ask the same thing: AI Product Sense - a 45-minute case interview where you speed-run through the entire product management process. I just helped a student land a $656K offer at OpenAI using this exact framework. In this video, Dr. Bart (former Microsoft PM who's helped 12,000+ PMs land jobs) interviews me live with a REAL OpenAI-style question: "How do we grow ChatGPT image creation from 175M to 350M weekly active users in 3 months with only 3 engineers?" Watch me build a complete framework from scratch, navigate curveballs, and deliver a solution that would pass at OpenAI, Anthropic, or any top AI company. 🎯 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1. Create a unique framework for each question (don't use cookie-cutter approaches) 2. Be responsive - adapt your framework based on interviewer feedback mid-interview 3. Weave in your unique experience and strengths throughout (unicorn candidate-market fit) ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: Why AI Product Sense Matters 2:17 - The Interview Question Revealed 4:10 - Clarifying the Problem & Scope 8:28 - Building the Framework Live 13:11 - User Segmentation (175M → 350M) 16:06 - Identifying User Problems 21:01 - Competitor Analysis (Midjourney, Runway, Synthesia) 24:44 - What Problems Are Users Solving? 26:25 - Solution Brainstorming 29:29 - Prioritization Framework 33:39 - CURVEBALL: Creating an Instagram Killer in 3 Months 36:05 - Final Prioritization & Metrics 40:03 - Solution Specifications 41:16 - Safety & Copyright Considerations 43:40 - My Questions for the Interviewer 45:44 - Interview Feedback & Breakdown 50:03 - 3 Takeaways You MUST Apply Want coaching like this? → Join my cohort program: https://landpmjob.com → 30 elite PMs only (application required) → 3x/week coaching with me, Dr. Bart, and Prasad Reddy for 3 months → Already SOLD OUT 50% of seats FREE Resources: → Product Growth Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vVEMqCSKb7I7xPk8xZtg5 → My Newsletter: www.news.aakashg.com → AI Prompt Libraries for PMs: https://www.news.aakashg.com/p/pm-prompt-library This is what a PASSING interview at OpenAI looks like.
