Building Out Loud: Faith’s MVP Is Live — Debugging, Gemini Integration, and What Comes Next
In this episode of Building Out Loud, Randy Silver checks in with Faith after a gap in updates and she reveals big news: her MVP is now live in production.
Faith shares that launching triggered a major debugging and security push, including ensuring a secure multi-tenant setup and correct data handling.
Faith walks through the MVP. She demonstrates the setup for product teams, business goals, and team goals, enabling planned value realization tracking.
At the team level, the app collects competitor and own-product feedback from review and comparison sites, groups insights by themes or shows raw feedback with source links, and supports creating opportunities manually or automatically. The roadmap emphasizes value realization through planned start dates and time investment, will sync with Jira in the future, and can generate PRDs or user stories from collected context.
Randy challenges whether this is truly an MVP given how much is built and the fact that no users have tested it yet. Faith explains how AI drastically shortened build time, but agrees the next step is validating usability and fit. She plans to reach out to product leaders and senior product managers for hands-on feedback, focusing on whether the goal setup matches varied organisational realities and whether the core workflow—from feedback to opportunities to solutions to roadmap—fits real operating and governance cycles.
After another revision round, she hopes to onboard teams for a beta. She expects feedback in a couple of weeks, will continue tidying up, start building integration capabilities, and use early feedback to revise the website, polish and publish the podcast episodes, and build a drumbeat about how AI is changing product decision-making.
