YOUR PRODUCT IS NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Classical traits of product-centric thinking include expecting people to come to you to get work done, building integrations so other products plug directly into you, asking people for context and preferences they've already shared somewhere else, and trying to own AI access by building a custom agent inside a product. This product-centric view has an expiry date. Coding and personal agents can now work across several tools, and now visiting each product one at a time is starting to feel like friction. The products that will thrive will put the user, along with their agent of choice, at the center.
