You are working on a creative software product used by millions of monthly active users across hobbyists, freelancers, and enterprise teams. Leadership wants to add a new AI-powered feature to help users complete a high-friction task faster, but there is disagreement about whether the first release should optimize for broad appeal, output quality, or speed to market. Early concept testing suggests strong interest, yet similar AI features in the market often see high trial but weak repeat usage when results feel unreliable or hard to control. The team needs a clear MVP definition that can launch quickly while still proving real user value and informing future investment.
How would you partner with a PM to define the MVP for this AI-powered feature, and how would you decide what to include in the first release versus what to defer?
