## Definition

A **_prosumer product_** is a product aimed at the _prosumer_ market — users positioned between ordinary consumers and professionals — combining consumer-level ease of use with professional-grade capability and output quality.

In this channel's material, the term **_prosumer product_** appears in the context of **building AI products and startups**, where a central theme is matching the product you build to the audience you serve — from solo builders shipping AI applications in a weekend to startups growing to hundreds of thousands of users. A prosumer product is one aimed at the **prosumer** market: people who fall between ordinary consumers and professionals, and who want consumer-grade ease of use combined with **professional-grade capability and output quality**.The distinction shapes decisions explored throughout the material — who the product is for, how it is priced and packaged, and how deeply it is built. A prosumer product differs from a purely casual consumer app (which prioritizes simplicity above all) and from an enterprise or professional tool (which prioritizes power and integration for trained operators). For AI products in particular, where capability can be wrapped in very thin applications, this positioning question is often among the first a builder explores.- A **_prosumer product_** targets users between consumer and professional markets.- It combines consumer-style accessibility with professional-quality results.- The term is used within this channel's material on **building AI products and startups**, where positioning a product for the right audience is a core theme.
