Productlab Conference 2026 closes with Michelle Parsons, a product leader who has spent her career building for human connection at Spotify, Netflix, and Hinge.

In this final keynote, she explores what it means to stay relevant, and stay human, as AI reshapes every layer of the product craft.

Drawing on her work at Lora, an AI-native self-discovery platform at the intersection of identity and technology, Michelle asks the questions product leaders need to sit with: what do we bring that AI cannot replicate? And what does it mean to build products that feel meaningfully human at scale?

< Key learnings >

  • What staying human means for product leaders navigating the AI transition, and why it matters more than any framework

  • What a career building consumer apps at Spotify, Netflix, Hinge, and Lora teaches about the irreplaceable value of human emotion in product design

  • How to remain relevant and grounded as AI becomes the default infrastructure of product work
