Product Strategy in an AI World

Kareem Mayan has been building software since 2001 at companies like ESPN and MySpace. He has founded four companies and sold three, and has shipped 25+ products from zero to one. He runs Savio, a feedback tracking SaaS where no human writes code, and Uncog, where he builds custom AI software for companies at an inflection point. Kareem's company Savio ships four or five features a day, and he sets up the same process for his clients. No one on his team writes code. Only AI does. The last big feature he personally shipped was 250k+ lines of code and it was AI-reviewed. Customers loved it, and nothing broke. That comes from tight guardrails around the AI, and none of them need you to read code. This talk walks through the guardrails: what gets written down before the AI builds anything, how the AI checks its own work before a person sees it, and the few things only a person can do. They work whether you build yourself, use no-code tools, or pay someone else to build for you. In this talk you'll learn: - Three ways founders end up with the wrong feature built perfectly, and how to make sure the AI builds what your customers actually need - How your AI can review code so you're confident about the quality - How to use AI to review a feature, and what's left for you to test - Small process changes you can make tomorrow to get great features built at AI speed
