Your team is using AI, but still explaining the same product decisions over and over.

In this video, I walk through the product “brain” my team and I are using with our customers. It brings together customer conversations, Slack messages, product decisions, design rules, repo knowledge, and the team’s process so AI can understand what we’re building and how we work.
I start by showing AI building a Figma component from a feature spec, then go backwards through the setup that makes it possible. You’ll see how we organize the context, keep decisions current, and document what needs approval as work moves from product to design to engineering.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• What goes into a product brain and how to organize it for AI.
• How customer conversations and product decisions become feature specs.
• How AI uses a spec and your design system to build Figma components.
• How Figma, Linear, and Slack connect across design and engineering handoff.
The more we use this with customers, the clearer it becomes: bringing AI into the product process means documenting how the team actually works. The brain gives us a place to keep that knowledge and build on it as the product evolves.
