The AI Prompt That Simulates Real PM Interviews (So You Stop Practicing the Wrong Way)
Your interviewer is using AI. Time you did too.
The Dirty Secret About PM Interviews in 2026
Here’s something no one tells you: Most PM interviewers aren’t writing original case questions anymore.
They’re opening ChatGPT, typing “give me a product strategy case for a mid-level PM at a fintech company,” and running with whatever comes out.
The cases you’ll face aren’t handcrafted masterpieces. They’re AI-generated prompts dressed up with company context.
Which means the game has changed. And if you’re still preparing with static case banks from 2019, you’re training for a fight that no longer exists.
Frameworks Alone Won’t Save You
A few weeks ago, we shared our 6 Frameworks Playbook—decision trees for every PM case type: Product Improvement, Product Design, Root Cause Analysis, Strategy, GTM, and Pricing.
Here’s what we kept hearing:
“I understand the framework. But when I sit in a mock interview, my mind goes blank.”
“How do I know if my answer is actually good?”
“I don’t have anyone to practice with.”
Frameworks give you structure. But structure without reps is just theory.
You need to see how a strong answer unfolds. You need to practice against realistic questions. You need feedback that tells you where you’re falling short.
That’s why I built this prompt.
The Prompt: Your Personal PM Interview Simulator
This isn’t a question generator. It’s a full interview simulator that creates realistic, dialogue-style cases—exactly like you’d experience in a real PM interview.
It’s built on top of the 6 Frameworks Playbook. So the cases it generates are structurally aligned with how you should be thinking.
Here’s what it does:
Generates complete interview dialogues (Interviewer ↔ Candidate format)
Covers all 6 case types from the playbook
Shows clarifying questions, structured approaches, trade-offs, and final recommendations
Tags difficulty level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)
Tells you what the interviewer is actually assessing in each case

The Prompt
Copy this. Use it. Share it.
Act as an experienced Product Management interviewer who runs structured, case-style interviews.
Use the concepts, structure, and thinking approach from this article as your core reference and inspiration:

Based on the ideas discussed in the article, create a series of realistic Product Management case interviews — not just questions.
Each case should feel like an actual live interview conversation, where the interviewer and candidate walk through the problem together step-by-step, including:
• Clarifying questions
• Stating assumptions
• Laying out a structured approach
• Deep-diving into reasoning
• Trade-offs and prioritization
• Metrics and evaluation
• Final recommendation
Write the cases in a dialogue format (Interviewer: / Candidate:), showing how strong PM thinking unfolds in real time.
Make the conversations thoughtful, structured, and grounded in practical, real-world product decision-making — rather than theoretical or generic responses.
For each case, also include:
• Difficulty level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)
• 1–2 lines on what the interviewer is assessing in this case
How to Use This
Step 1: Generate a case
Paste the prompt. Add context if you want: “Focus on e-commerce products” or “Give me a Root Cause Analysis case for a payments company.”
Step 2: Read the dialogue
Don’t just skim. Study how the candidate asks clarifying questions. Notice when they pause to structure. Watch how they handle trade-offs.
Step 3: Attempt it yourself
Before reading the model answer, pause after the interviewer’s question. Write or speak your own response. Then compare.
Step 4: Iterate
Generate 3–5 cases per case type. Pattern recognition compounds. By case #5, you’ll start anticipating what the interviewer wants before they ask.
Why This Works
Most prep resources give you:
Questions without answers
Answers without reasoning
Frameworks without context
This prompt gives you the full picture—the back-and-forth of a real interview, with explicit reasoning at every step.
It’s the difference between reading about how to drive and sitting in the passenger seat while someone narrates every decision.
The Cheat Code
Here’s the real unlock: If interviewers are using AI to generate cases, you can predict what they’ll ask by using the same prompt.
You’re not cheating. You’re preparing intelligently.
Different company context? Adjust the prompt. Different role level? Specify it. Different case type? Request it.
The cases you generate will be structurally identical to the ones you’ll face.
Go Get Those Offers
The playbook gave you the map. This prompt gives you the reps.
Use them together. Practice daily. Trust the structure.
And when you’re sitting across from that interviewer—calm, composed, walking through your framework like you’ve done it a hundred times—you’ll know exactly why.
Because you have.
