AI is transforming the way products are built—but what does that actually mean for startups with small tech teams? Our guest Jake Dluhy-Smith, CEO and founder of OAK’S LAB, knows the high-growth playbook better than most: his Prague-based team of about 100 top engineers and product builders works almost exclusively with U.S. scale-ups and post-IPO companies, from Blue Owl Capital to Blackpoint Cyber. In this episode, we explore how AI is truly transforming product development—from speed and time to market to the quality of product decisions and the way teams are organized. Jake shares concrete workflows, the things AI still can’t do (and a few mistakes worth learning from), and where this is all heading—can you imagine a tech company without tech people? We wrap up with practical tips for smaller teams on how to actually become AI-driven, and which skills are becoming more valuable in this new era. Moderated by Veronika Šimková and Pavel Přikryl.
