FOR FOUNDERS BUILDING THE FUTURE OF WORK

Build a product people can understand, trust, and use.

I help founders make product decisions, design the experience, and build with AI.

Things that probably sound familiar

  • Your buyer and your users want different things.
  • The pilot does not become part of the way the team works.
  • Conflicting customer requests are shaping the roadmap.
  • Users cannot tell why the AI made a decision or how to correct it.

Ongoing product advising

We work through how your product should behave, what the interface communicates, and where people get stuck. That includes how AI answers questions, explains its sources, and asks for approval before taking action.

Through regular calls and feedback between sessions, we can review an existing experience or build a prototype together to work through a specific product question.

Can I carry unused leave into next year?

You can carry over up to 5 days. Submit your request by December 15. Any remaining balance will expire at the end of the year.

↑ Which country? Which policy? Ask before giving a definite answer.

↑ This says 2023. Is that the most up-to-date?
