Role covered: Associate product manager
Product Manager Agent
Turns scattered feedback into a ranked backlog, written specs and release notes.
Reads support tickets, call notes, reviews and usage numbers, groups them into themes, and drafts the documents a product manager writes every week, so decisions start from evidence instead of a blank page.

Guardrails
You stay in control of every agent
An agent is a new team member with a narrow job, limited access and a manager. These four rules apply to every one I build.
Approval first
Customer-facing or costly actions wait for a person until you decide a step can run on its own.
Only what it needs
The agent gets its own login with only the access the job needs. No shared passwords.
Full log
Every read, decision and action is recorded, so you can see what it did and why.
Off switch
Pause the agent at any time. Your tools keep working exactly as they did before.
Getting started
From first call to an agent you trust
Every agent starts supervised. It earns more freedom only after it has done the job well on real work.
- 01
Map the job
We write down the task as it is done today: the inputs, the rules, the exceptions and what good looks like.
- 02
Build on your data
I build the agent and test it on real past cases until its work matches your standard.
- 03
Supervised launch
It runs live with every action approved by you, and the rules are tuned on real work.
- 04
Run and improve
Approvals are relaxed where the agent has earned it. I monitor it, report on it and keep improving it.
