Recent insights

A focused collection of product and engineering perspectives from GABE.

AI Systems

01

The prompt is no longer the product.

AI products need workflows, context, evaluation, and system design. A good prompt is only one small part of the product.

AI Workflows

02

Most teams do not have an AI problem. They have a system design problem.

AI only creates value when it connects to the right process, data, decision point, and user experience.

Operations

03

Meetings are usually compensation for missing systems.

When ownership, workflows, and visibility are unclear, teams create meetings to absorb the confusion.

Product Engineering

04

Good MVPs reduce risk, not ambition.

The purpose of an MVP is not to look small. It is to test the right assumptions without building unnecessary complexity.

Business Software

05

Internal tools deserve product thinking too.

Internal systems shape how teams work every day. Treating them as side projects usually creates slow, fragile operations.
