Why I built this, and who it is for

The story

A five minute talk, a brain on a foggy day, and one AI conversation that changed how I think about all of this.

A few weeks ago my manager asked me to present at our company offsite. Nothing too big. Five minutes, internal audience, just a quick look at what a product manager actually does day to day.

Two problems. It was last minute. And my brain lately has not always been there when I need it.

I knew what I wanted to say. But getting it out of my head and into something structured felt hard that day. So I opened Claude, an AI tool, typed out my thoughts as they came, and asked for help pulling it together.

What came back stopped me in my tracks. Being a product manager is like running an airport. Every piece of work is a plane waiting to land. There is only one runway: your team's time and energy. Every yes is also a no. Something else has to wait. My job is figuring out and prioritizing which planes land first.

I would not have landed on that myself. Not that day, not with that brain. Driving home, I kept thinking: more women need to know about this.

What this is, and is not

  • Technical. No coding or AI background needed
Who it is for

"You are probably here because something has changed. Maybe your brain is not working the way it used to. Maybe you walked out of a meeting and could not remember what was decided. Maybe you are brilliant at your job and quietly terrified that people are starting to notice a difference. Nobody prepared you for this. That is what this is for."
