The future of product is here

the biggest trends in AI & data

May 21, 2025

We just released the latest edition of the Product Guide—our quarterly ebook featuring the winners of the Product Awards—and I couldn’t be more excited to share it. This issue focuses on AI and data, and it’s packed with standout products that are genuinely moving the industry forward.

Reading through the stories and breakthroughs from these teams, I kept coming back to one thing: we’re officially past the novelty phase with AI. What I saw were products built from the ground up with AI at the core.

I noticed a clear pattern: personalization is becoming deeply industry-specific, privacy is being treated as product infrastructure, and real-time data is powering live decisions in the product experience itself.

If you want a pulse check on where product innovation is really headed, this guide is it.

I'm also looking forward to today’s webinar with our CEO Hoda Mehr and the Q1 Product Awards Advisory Board, where they’ll be going deeper into the trends they saw in Q1. I hope you'll join us. (You can register here.)

And if you're building something exceptional in cybersecurity, fintech, or healthtech, now’s the time to put it on the radar. Q2 Product Award nominations are open.
