A daily briefing for a product manager
A recurring show on your category, your competitors’ shipping and the research worth knowing — plus the upload trick for 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. The stronger companion is a weekly upload of your customer-call transcripts, asked for what changed in what people want.
How to set it up
Ask about shipping, not announcing
‘What actually shipped in this category, and what does it suggest about where the category is going’ is a different question from ‘what was announced’, and the second one is what a news feed answers 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 contains information nobody outside your company has, which no researched show can match.
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. There is no data integration. An exported spreadsheet can be uploaded and asked about, which is a manual step each time.
- What should I redact from call transcripts?
- Customer names, anything commercially confidential, and anything about identifiable individuals. An upload leaves your organisation, and should be treated as such.
- Does it help with prioritisation?
- It can argue both sides of a decision if you give it the context and ask it to. Do not expect it to know your constraints — it knows what you told it and what is public.
What this does not do
No product analytics, no roadmap tool, no customer data unless you upload it yourself. The researched half of this briefing is the weaker half; the uploads are where it earns its place.
