When curiosity meets discipline, you can find hidden growth in any product. (Summary: 4 minutes; Original: 1 hour.)
In this condensed episode Lenny Rachitsky talks with Albert Cheng (Duolingo, Grammarly, Chess.com) about practical frameworks for product-led growth: explore vs. exploit, running intentional experiments at scale, and using AI to speed discovery. Learn how small UX changes (e.g., highlighting “brilliant moves” on Chess.com) and contextual “reverse live trials” at Grammarly unlocked major retention and monetization gains. Albert shares concrete guidance on instrumentation, D1 retention benchmarks, hiring high-agency teams, and building habit loops that turn new users into engaged customers.
You’ll walk away with actionable tactics for experiments, retention, product analytics, and AI-assisted prototyping — plus real examples you can apply today. Hosts: Lenny Rachitsky; Guest: Albert Cheng. Keywords: growth, product-led growth, retention, experiments, AI, monetization.
