Product Manager

As AI shifts from reactive tools to ambient systems, product management is becoming more complex. Neeharika Tummala will unpack how to choose models, manage trade-offs, and ensure reliability through observability and tuning. From architecture to user experience, this session explores how PMs can deliver both performance and delight at scale.

Neeharika Tummala

Product Manager

Neeharika Tummala is a Product Manager at Amazon, where she leads initiatives within the Alexa ecosystem focused on Voice AI, Ambient Computing, and Conversational AI. Her work sits at the intersection of complex machine learning infrastructure and user-centric design, specifically tasking LLMs with evolving from simple voice triggers into proactive, "delightful" web-based assistants.

01
The Strategy: Moving from Voice to Ambient Assistant

We will explore the logic of "expert orchestration," moving beyond simple voice commands to a cohesive web-based assistant. Neeharika will discuss some of the foundational challenges of working with Alexa's brain, the strategic framework for choosing a base model, evaluating performance trade-offs.
02
The Practice: Observability and Model Tuning

This session focuses on the technical application of LLMs within complex ecosystems. We will break down what observability looks like and how a model is refined for specific user intents, ensuring the output remains reliable as it scales across different platforms.
03
The Impact: Decision Making and User Delight

In an "Open the Veil" segment, we’ll break down key development decisions. Attendees will see Alexa in action and critique PM choices, exploring how to balance constraints with a “delightful” user experience, plus the role of MCP, RAG, and OpenClaw in its strategy.
