LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT on February 26th at 1pm ET/10am PT
Everyone is a Researcher.
How PMs, designers, and AI are reshaping product work in 2026.
AI is rewriting how product teams prototype, designers collaborate, and teams move from customer noise to real signal. The traditional “three-legged stool” of product, design, and engineering is starting to look… different.
Marvin CEO Prayag Narula sits down with Jared Erondu, Head of Design at Span, for a candid conversation about what’s changing inside modern product teams.
They'll explore:
- Why PMs are increasingly becoming researchers and what that means in practice
- How AI tools are shifting product artifacts from PRDs to runnable prototypes
- Why design tooling adoption moves slower than engineering and what needs to change
- How research teams expand, contract, and re-emerge based on market cycles and product differentiation
- What “Everyone Is a Researcher” really looks like inside product orgs
