Vibe coding, conferences and a brand new GPT
Hey everyone,
It’s me again, your not-so-steady product newsletter, because really, I only write when I have something to share (I truly don’t believe in spam.)
Anyway, so some cool stuff has happened over the last few weeks worth sharing!
I built a GPT
Yes, you read that right.
I had myself a little hackathon this morning and decided to build a GPT to guide product people through how to create a product problem outline.
It focuses on:
- Defining the core problem
- Clarifying why it matters (to customers + business)
- Mapping success metrics (leading + lagging)
- Capturing discovery experiments
- Prepping GTM communication with PMMS
What I like most is it feels less like a tool and more like a thoughtful product coach. It asks great follow-up questions, keeps people honest when being vague, and makes sure you don’t skip critical context.
Of course, all of this is based on years of experience and learnings from my book with Dave Martin!
The end result is a problem outline that’s structured, shareable, and actually helps align teams ✨
If you’re a PM (or work with PMs), you know how messy this process can get.
After launching it on Linkedin, it’s important to note:
The purpose of this GPT is to guide product people through how to structure thinking when they’re embarking on solving a new problem.
It is NOT going to do your job for you. It will not run discovery or tell you how to run experimentation.
However, once you have done that, it’ll help organise your findings so you can share and communicate these things across your org.
Upcoming talks
I’m going to be talking in a few places, if you want to join and say hi!
Agile Cambridge
If you’re in the UK, come along to Agile Cambridge on October 1-2. I’ll be there with Dave running a workshop.
Product Drive 2025
I love vibe coding as much as the next person, but people have got to stop thinking it’s going to help them bypass critical product processes and just get to launch. Join me October 7 @ Product Drive as I talk about how everyone needs to Stop Trying to Vibe Code their way to PMF.
Hope to see you around!
