Role-playing prompts unlock AI's ability to adopt specific stakeholder perspectives. By assigning AI a role, you tap into different viewpoints critical to product success. This technique proves invaluable when you need to understand how various users or team members might react to product decisions.

Assign clear roles with specific contexts: "As a enterprise IT administrator evaluating our solution..." or "Acting as a price-sensitive small business owner..." These role assignments help AI frame responses through the appropriate lens, considering pain points, priorities, and decision criteria unique to each persona.

Combine roles with product scenarios for powerful results. Request AI to "As a customer success manager, review this new feature and identify potential support tickets it might generate." This approach surfaces insights you might miss from your product manager perspective, helping you build more thoughtful solutions.
