Sameer MehtaGUEST
Yeah, I think, you know, given that coming from a security sort of background, it's always like trust but verify, right? So I will give implicit trust, you know, but make sure that there is, you know, just like, you know, and make sure that it's actually along, you know, along those lines, right? You know, the actions are being taken, right? It's almost like having kids and you basically want to be able to, or you obviously want to trust them, but also make sure that they're on the right track to life.
Sameer MehtaGUEST
So philosophically speaking, I think with agents as well, you want to implicitly trust because then that way they can actually do a lot more things for you, whether it's travel booking or making decisions at work as a product manager, like writing either a PRD you know which historically took me a really long time and obviously that PRD is me and not the agent right you know so the verify part is like me reviewing like all of these different things and subsequently tweaking right so the amount of time that it historically took me to write a document maybe it was a day and now it maybe takes me like an hour right and that's how it improves my life on a day-to-day basis
Lalit ChodaHOST
An hour.
Sameer MehtaGUEST
It takes minutes for me.
Steve EndowHOST
And so on Monday, I had to do this moderately complex.
Steve EndowHOST
So I had to do a FRD PRD design development plan, did my full process to fully spec this out.
Steve EndowHOST
And then I was unable to unleash Claude or Opus or Fable, I forget which.
Steve EndowHOST
And in the process, I had to upgrade the development environment because AI tools will not run on Windows Server 2016 with Visual Studio 2016 and .NET, I think it was 451.
Steve EndowHOST
So I said, great.
Steve EndowHOST
Can we review the requirements for X, Y, and Z? Yep.
Steve EndowHOST
And I practiced my, what I call my sales process, where I record the meeting, grab the transcript, feed it in a cloud, do a meeting summary, FRD, PRD, proposal, and then I can do a detailed design doc, then a development plan doc.
Steve EndowHOST
So everything is streamlined.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
So when I started with Detour, that was something that was very simple.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
I had already heard about the importance of having a PRD, which is a product requirement document when it comes to creating products.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
So, and there were a lot of resources, both newsletters, blogs, and on YouTube that were talking about that.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
So I started with that.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
So I already had the context of what it is that I was going to build.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
And thankfully with Idea Browser, their context is excellent when it comes to trying to go from Idea to an actual app.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
So I started with creating a PRD assistant that actually built out a full flux product requirement document that talked about who the product is for, who the target audience is, what is the problem and what is actually solving for, and really going into detail as to like what this product actually looks like.
Adamma IhemesonGUEST
And then again, when I think about just creating with AI, AI loves specificity and it loves data.
Matt DavisGUEST
You almost get a massive amount of code base just from that front.
Matt DavisGUEST
And then from a testing perspective, you still have to have the humans doing UAT, right? So- We found typically in the incubation, our first ignition, like our incubation of the project phase, we're finding that a lot of customers, that the framework and the AI agents are interrogating the user stories, the PRD, and they're asking the product owners questions.
Matt DavisGUEST
And we're seeing the aha moment with product owners and project managers going, Hey, if we didn't answer that question, that would have been a bug or a defect in production, potentially six months later.
Matt DavisGUEST
So we're seeing that sort of that's how testing is manifesting in the agentic loop versus the traditional life cycle, if that makes sense.
14 MINS LATER
Matt DavisGUEST
So every time we deliver a loop, that there's some traceability.
Matt DavisGUEST
And you're not necessarily doing a full traditional regression test.
Matt DavisGUEST
It's going back to the functionality and making sure it checks all the boxes from a spec perspective, back from what we decomposed from the PRD that they originally gave us.
Matt DavisGUEST
There's functionality checks that are occurring.
Brad Hefta-GaubHOST
The model filled in.
Brad Hefta-GaubHOST
You're just calling it hallucination because it used to be that you as the engineer or you as the product manager or you as the program manager used to fill it in when the spec wasn't clear, when the PRD wasn't clear or didn't exist, right? Or the PRD said a bunch of words that half the team didn't really understand what they were because it was like some niche product market or something like that.
Brad Hefta-GaubHOST
And you filled it in, all right? Well, the model's just filling it in.
Brad Hefta-GaubHOST
It's not hallucinating.
Eugene SayanGUEST
Well, I think that we are entering into the phase that basically your buddy is now your co-pilot that is going to be providing you all that information, even to the point, perhaps writing the code.
Eugene SayanGUEST
And in between that, again, human in the loop aspect to it, let AI generate the PRD.
Eugene SayanGUEST
Review the product requirements, make sure it meets the regulatory compliance matters, whatever that is.
Eugene SayanGUEST
But then submit the prompt, come back tomorrow morning.
Pepijn SendersGUEST
So what we do right now is actually we make it like a multi-faceted story where it's not just like engineering questions, it's like product, UX, whatever.
Pepijn SendersGUEST
So basically you ingest like the feature, the PRD or whatever you want to call it.
Pepijn SendersGUEST
the product brief or whatever.
Pepijn SendersGUEST
And the idea is with the teams that we're working right now, they come together on Monday and we call it the refinement session.
James GovernorHOST
Obviously, you know, when you're dealing with a major media company or something like that, yeah, you're on the hook for that.
James GovernorHOST
You know, you are listening to their, you know, I mentioned requirements and PRDs.
James GovernorHOST
But I mean, how broadly, you know, given that you're Ramit is around self-service and developer experience, developer relations.
James GovernorHOST
How do you ensure that there's a developer voice in the product loop, which is one of the things that you support or put forward as a question of trust? So how do you listen? How do I as a, you know, maybe I'm a student in Bangalore and I'm, you know, I want my voice in the product loop Just as much as, uh, yeah, like a media company, uh, in, in California, like how does that work?
Rob FergusonGUEST
And in AI, I think that's always the steps that it's not that fun to be like, how do we know when you're done?
Randy SilverHOST
The conversation I keep having with people is that first 80% of product development, of getting to a prototype, of knowing what it is, being able to describe it, not just a written PRD, but something that people actually understand that's got real definitions behind it, That's so much faster.
Randy SilverHOST
It's so much easier because we can do it.
Randy SilverHOST
We can feel it.
James McAulayGUEST
These are skills genuinely that I use every day.
James McAulayGUEST
Morning stand-up skill, monthly retro, but also a good PRD skill, an SEO audit, etc.
James McAulayGUEST
We can get into that.
James McAulayGUEST
So it's a collection of skills.
32 MINS LATER
James McAulayGUEST
yeah definitely um I don't have your email to hand but I will like I'll send this to you straight afterwards
Aakash GuptaHOST
I mean, a couple of things that I think are interesting.
James McAulayGUEST
So we could talk about my PRD skill.
James McAulayGUEST
I mean, effectively, everyone in your audience knows what a PRD is.
