Building Out Loud: Rethinking PRDs, Roadmaps, and Product Teams in an AI-Native World
Randy Silver checks in with Faith Forster on her progress building Discovery after speaking with over 70 product leaders and using feedback to update the product, shifting it toward a “strategic advisor” and embedding agents to help shape and apply product strategy across decision-making.
They discuss how AI changes product development fundamentals—what roadmaps, PRDs, epics, and tasks mean when building is faster and work may be defined for agents rather than engineers—highlighting a “product experience document” that emphasises behavior, tone, and guardrails. Faith explains Discovery’s approach: defining problems, generating and comparing solution ideas, then producing different scoping/design outputs depending on audience (engineer, AI agent, stakeholder), with customisable templates.
They also cover collaboration, bias, diversity of viewpoints, the limits of artificial personas versus real users, prototyping trade-offs, and challenges for legacy and regulated stacks.
Faith’s next priority is getting the beta ready around ProductCon.
