2026人工智能 (AI) 产品营销全景研究报告

March 2026 productmarketer.substack.com Introduction When this survey was shared with readers of TheProduct Marketer, I had a few assumptions: thatAI adoption in product marketing is growing atpace, that it's mostly used for writing and contentcreation, and that the US would be leading thecharge. The reality is more interesting than that Therearealsosomegenuinelyexcitingsignals inthebreakouttoolsPMMs are building functional mini-apps with Lovable.They're usingNotebookLM as a way of bringing research to life.The early moversare already constructing agent workflows, not just prompting achatbot. 88%ofPMMsarenowusingAlonadailybasis.Sotheadoptionquestion is settled.

Rory WoodbridgeFounder,TheProductMarketer AI Adoptionin Product Marketing The dominantfinding from 3o9 respondents is that Aluse in productmarketing is no longer aspirational it's now baked into the job. 87.7% use Aleverydayand afurther9.7%use it several times aweek. "It's becoming table stakes and it's not justabout prompt engineering anymore. Alworkflows are here to stay. 87.7% use AI every day Alice TeodorescuPentest-Tools.com The LLM landscape is a three-horse race Usageacross thefull base shows ChatGPT(261mentions), Gemini (193)and Claude (192)arepreference: Most respondents use 2-3 tools across their workflows rather thanone. Multi-tooling is the norm, with users typically combining aprimary LLM with a specialist tool (e.g. Claude for writing +NotebookLM for research synthesis). What PMMs actually use AI for Participants were able to choose up to three different work streams. Writing remains the most common entry point, but the significantshare for messaging,positioning and competitive intelligencesuggests Alis moving upstream into more strategic territory. "'For me, it's a shortcut for digesting largeamounts of information quickly. I upload variousdecks and spreadsheets and ask the model toanalyse them and return the qualitative info Ineed -- like key takeaways and discussion pointsfor meeting prep."
