Behind the Craft

Felix Lee, CEO of ADP List and designer-builder who uses Claude Code and Figma MCP to turn designs into working apps. He demos building a globe visualization from a screenshot, a landing-page analyzer, and converting FigJam flowcharts into playable games. He also shows Figma-to-code and code-back-to-Figma workflows and discusses why designers should adopt cloud coding tools.

Geoff Charles, Ramp's Chief Product Officer known for leading AI-native product work, shares how his team uses Claude Code and internal agents to speed product discovery and delivery. Hear demos of voice-of-customer, data-analysis, and inspect agents. Topics include automated PRs, release automation, Ramp’s L0–L3 AI framework, and the evolving PM role into hands-on builders or strategic GMs.

Tom Krcha, founder and CEO of Pencil, builds an AI design tool that uses agent swarms and a JSON "pen" format. He walks through six agents collaborating to design a travel app in real time. They demo live coding integrations, platform-agnostic .pen files, parallel workflows, design systems, and how Pencil grew rapidly to wide adoption.

Carl Vellotti, product leader and creator of the free course Cloud Code for Product Managers, shows how to wire Claude Code into Google Workspace, Linear, Slack, and Reddit. He demos prepping meetings, creating tickets from PRDs, drafting and posting Slack updates, monitoring subreddits, and assembling a cross-tool daily standup. Practical setup tips and folder structures round out the walkthrough.

Nat Eliason, entrepreneur building AI-enabled tooling and creator of Felix, an OpenClaw-powered autonomous agent. He explains how Felix launched products, managed deployments, and handled crypto. The conversation covers multi-threaded chats, a 3-layer memory system, cron jobs and heartbeats, security and permissions, and how to remove bottlenecks to increase autonomy.

Eno Reyes, co-founder of Factory and creator of the Droid/Joy coding agent, blends AI-native engineering with product instincts. He demos building a speed-reading app with autonomous agents. He contrasts spec vs plan modes, shows QA and validation for long runs, and reveals a PM skill that generates company-aligned PRDs and workflows.

Kieran Klaassen, CTO and developer advocate who built the Compound Engineering plugin, explains systems that make Claude Code improve with use. He breaks down plan-work-assess-compound loops. Demos show workflows for planning, using skills for just-in-time context, AI-driven QA with Playwright, multi-perspective automated code reviews, and the LFG command to go from 0 to production.

Peter Steinberger, software engineer and creator of OpenClaw, built a messaging AI that automates tasks across your devices. He demos checking in to flights, controlling lights and beds, and using the agent to watch cameras. He explains one-line installs, hackable integrations, community skills, and argues many single-purpose phone apps will vanish.

Logan Kilpatrick, Product Lead for Google AI Studio who builds AI-powered dev tools, walks through how AI Studio speeds prototyping. He demos rapid app creation, cloning Studio itself, multimodal features like annotate mode and Maps grounding, and generating multiple UI variants. He also discusses shipping fast inside Google and what he looks for when hiring product managers.

Sumeet Marwaha, Head of Data at Brex and expert in AI-augmented analytics, reveals how to transform your data analysis with Claude Code. He discusses creating a self-serve data explorer that eliminates the need for SQL queries, guiding listeners through a live demo of building a startup funding MCP. Sumeet also shares insights on context management, connecting Claude to Slack and Drive, and predicting the likelihood of startups securing Series B funding. He emphasizes practical steps for leveraging AI to enhance data-driven decision-making.
