$2+Billion-Dollar Outcomes for top teams

$2B+ Generated via Systems

$2B+ at Microsoft & Canon | $Multi-Million MRR at SMEs

15+ Years in Growth Systems

 Product, Growth, Marketing
B2B & DTC.

1,200+ Hours 

AI-first execution with cross-funtional teams.

Built Across Scales

 From global platforms to early-stage teams.

System → Product → Scale

Systems First. Products Second. Scale Third.

We start by designing and architecting the system those products depend on, then AI features or MVPs.

AI-Native Systems

AI-native systems determine whether something can work repeatedly under real-world use.

Products

Products are how humans interact with that system.

Growth

Growth is what happens when both are designed correctly.

The AI-Native System

AI Strategy League is designed with adoption, incentives, and outcomes in mind.

Design and ship AI-native systems that work in the real world across product, engineering, design, and growth.

✔︎

Built for Real-World Adoption

Systems start with real user intent and behavior, not abstract features.

✔︎

Behavioral Feedback Loops

Activation, retention, and conversion are designed into the system from day one.

✔︎

Outcome-Driven by Design

Every system is built to produce measurable outcomes within real constraints: time, trust, incentives, and operations.

Designed for 

Who the AI-Native System Is For

Built for operators who ship under real constraints and care more about outcomes than ideas: You're already be comfortable building, willing to operate under constraints, and more interested in outcomes than ideas.

✔︎

Founders

You’re building AI-native products and are accountable not just for vision, but for shipping systems that people actually use, trust, and pay for in the real world.

✔︎

Senior Product, Growth & AI Leaders

You own execution across product, growth, and AI, measured by outcomes, adoption, and impact, not decks, demos, or disconnected roadmaps.

✔︎

Cross-Functional Teams

You work across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market to turn AI intent into reliable, scalable systems, not one-off experiments or technical novelty.

✔︎

Design & Engineering Leaders

You design systems, not just interfaces or models, optimizing for behavior, incentives, reliability, and scale, not isolated screens or proofs of concept.

Design, Build, Scale

Explore the AI Strategy League Ecosystem

Three ways to design, ship, and scale AI-native products that work, from first system to commercial growth.

Current Cohort: Enter the League

Join a selective cohort designing and shipping AI-native systems grounded in real user intent, incentives, and outcomes.

This is where builders turn AI strategy into production-ready products together.

Outcome Metric
→ Ship a working AI-native system in each cohort.

AI-Native Library & Resources

A living library of AI-native frameworks, system patterns, and playbooks shaped by real builds.

Designed to support activation, retention, and conversion from day one.

Outcome Metric
→ Reuse proven system patterns across products and teams.

Scale What You Built

Turn a working AI-native product into a scalable business.

Apply growth strategy, go-to-market systems, and AI-powered marketing workflows to drive adoption, revenue, and long-term scale within real commercial constraints.

Outcome Metric
→ Drive measurable adoption, revenue, and retention.

What is an AI-Native System

In AI-native systems, decisions are about:

  • When to automate vs augment

  • How much autonomy to give a model

  • Where to remove friction vs preserve human control

  • How transparent the system should be

  • How outputs should feel

What is an AI-Native System

AI-native systems are designed with intelligence at the core, shaping decisions, workflows, and outcomes from day one, not added on later.

An AI-native system: 

✅ Is shipped in production, adopted by real users, and produce measurable outcomes

✅ Uses AI to make or augment decisions, not just generate content

✅ Is designed around real workflows, incentives, and constraints

✅ Improves with usage (feedback, signals, learning loops)

✅ Ships with adoption and accountability built in

✅ Continues working as usage, data, and complexity scale

What it is NOT

❌ A chatbot bolted onto an existing product

❌ Adding an LLM interface on top of a legacy workflow

❌ A collection of prompts or prompt libraries 

❌ A demo, proof-of-concept, or innovation lab project

❌ Prompt engineering without integration into workflows

❌ A feature that depends on manual babysitting "Human-in-the-loop”

AI as cost-cutting theater: Replace humans with AI” mandates

How It works

How we architect and ship AI-native systems

Designed for founders, senior product, growth, and AI leaders operating within real organizational constraints.

AI Strategy League starts with the system that makes AI usable in the real world.

Design the AI-Native System

User intent, decision logic, feedback loops, and human–AI collaboration are defined first before any interface or feature is built.

Productize the System

We design the smallest product surface that allows real users to interact with the system and generate signal, trust, and adoption.

Execution → Feedback

Activation, retention, and learning loops are built directly into the system.
Every interaction produces signal, not noise.

Prepare for Scale

Only once the system works under real use do we layer growth, distribution, and operational scale.

Wall of Love

Trusted and supported by industry leaders

Design and ship AI-native systems that work in the real world across product, engineering, design, and growth.

"As I was exploring the mental health product area, Grace was gracious in sharing her time to be a sounding board to my product idea. 
 

She provided nuanced approaches to creating value for target customers, and shared her excitement toward the future potential of the product. 
 

If you have a product idea and looking for feedback on AI-enabled products, I recommend speaking to Grace."

The Story of AI Strategy League

Grace Man

about grace man ai strategy league

Grace is a British product and marketing leader who architects AI-native systems designed to ship products and scale through high-velocity growth strategies.

AI Strategy League was founded by Grace Man after more than 15 years strategizing and operating at the intersection of product, growth, and technology inside both global enterprises and fast-scaling teams.
 

Before building the League, Grace led AI, analytics, and growth initiatives across organizations such as Microsoft, Canon, and global brands including Hyundai, ActivisionBreitling, and more, driving nine-figure revenue impact and scaling multi-million-dollar ARR systems.
 

But the real insight didn’t come from success. It came from watching AI initiatives stall, not because the technology failed, but because systems were designed without adoption, incentives, and real-world constraints in mind. AI Strategy League exists to fix that, and and enhance that.
