Well, a product manager is like the person who helps decide what kind of things we should build with those blocks. They talk to all your friends and ask, "Hey, what would be the most fun to make with these blocks?" Then they tell the builders what to do, like which blocks to use and how to put them together.

"Interesting question.
Let's take a step back and focus on the WHAT and WHY of Google Flights.
The narrative for Google Flights as a product or platform imo is:

"When a question like this is asked what is really being asked is "how do you think about the elements that make up a product and how does each part add value?".
