Building Out Loud: Beta testing feedback with Rags (Floto.ai) + How AI is changing product team practices

Randy Silver and Faith Forster welcome Rags, co-founder of Floto and a Discovery beta tester with a product background from Google, Meta, and startups. 

Rags says Discoveree feels like a “thinking partner” that deliberately slows him down by challenging assumptions, adding guardrails, and mapping practical steps (e.g., founder-led sales to a B2B motion) rather than just providing answers. 

He notes bugs and suggests faster onboarding by reusing captured business info, and praises “wow” moments like competitor updates and comparative product recommendations, requesting deeper agent-driven drill-down per recommendation. 

The group discusses shifting dev cycles to weekly releases, inverted build-design workflows, small-team scaling via agents, hiring AI-native juniors, and Faith’s beta expansion, PE-firm outreach, bug-fixing, and looming steps like production readiness and taking payments.
