FOR SOLO FOUNDERS / PRACTICAL AI WITH JOHN RICE

A good idea.
A working version.

When you’re the researcher, builder, and person answering customers, your systems matter. Give each stage of the work a useful tool and a clear next step.

START WITH THE WORK

Build around the bottleneck you have today.

A better development setup cannot tell you whether customers want the product. More outreach cannot fix a confusing first experience. Work out which question is holding the business back, then choose the smallest useful way to answer it.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW

Example: from customer question to product change.

You see the same onboarding question in several customer conversations. First, verify the problem with the people using your product. Write a ticket describing the confusing step and the intended behavior. An agent can prepare a pull request; you review the change and check the experience before releasing it.

The system supports your judgment at each step. A clear question, a small change, and a real review keep the loop useful.
