A daily briefing for a product manager
A daily briefing for product managers on your category, what competitors ship and research worth knowing, plus an episode made from a week of customer calls.
The short answer
Describe a recurring show on your product category and the companies shipping into it, asking for what shipped and what it implies rather than what was announced. Pair it with a weekly upload of your customer-call transcripts, and ask what changed in what people want.
How to set it up
Ask about shipping, not announcing
Ask ‘what actually shipped in this category, and what does it suggest about where the category is going’. A news feed answers ‘what was announced’ by default.
Pair it with your own calls
Export a week of call transcripts, redact them, upload them together, and ask what changed in what customers are asking for. That episode covers what your customers said, which nobody outside your company knows.
Keep it short enough to survive a bad week
Eight minutes gets listened to on the days when everything is on fire. Twenty does not, and a briefing you skip for a fortnight is one you cancel.

Questions
- Can it read our analytics?
- No. It has no data integration. You can upload an exported spreadsheet and ask about it, by hand each time.
- What should I redact from call transcripts?
- Customer names, anything commercially confidential, and anything about identifiable individuals. An upload leaves your organisation, so treat it like any file you send outside.
- Does it help with prioritisation?
- It can argue both sides of a decision if you give it the context and ask it to. It knows only what you told it and what is public, so spell out your constraints.
What this does not do
It has no product analytics or roadmap tool, and sees customer data only when you upload it yourself. The episodes made from your uploads are more useful than the researched ones.
