Growcast #20: Jake Dluhy-Smith – The role of AI in the product development

AI is reshaping how products get 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 around 100 top engineers and product builders works almost exclusively with US scale-ups and post-IPO companies, from Blue Owl Capital to Blackpoint Cyber.  In this episode we dig into how AI is really changing product development – from speed and time to market to the quality of product decisions and the way teams are organised. Jake shares concrete workflows, the things AI still can’t do (and a few fuck-ups worth learning from), and where this is all heading – can you imagine a tech company without tech people? We close with practical tips for smaller teams on how to actually become AI-driven, and which skills become more valuable in this new era. Moderated by Veronika Šimková and Pavel Přikryl.
