Behind the Craft

Geoff is the CPO of Ramp and runs one of the most AI-native orgs I’ve seen. He showed me an amazing Claude Code PM skill that his team uses to go from idea to product and shared live demos of Ramp’s internal AI agents for customer research, data analysis, and more. Geoff also shared 5 specific tactics Ramp followed to go from barely anyone using AI to non-engineers shipping production code.

Geoff and I talked about:
(00:00) "If you're not using Claude Code, you're probably underperforming"
(04:45) Voice of customer agent (demo): 8 days of research in 8 minutes
(07:57) Analyst agent (demo): Get insights and pull data using English
(13:08) The best Claude Code PM skill I've ever seen
(15:20) "50% of Ramp's code is written AI. It'll probably be 80% soon."
(16:38) Inspect agent (demo): Building a production feature in 5 min
(28:21) The two directions the PM role is splitting into
(34:05) Ramp's L0-L3 framework for getting every employee to build with AI
(36:36) The AI interview question Ramp asks every PM candidate
(39:15) "Management is probably dead...optimize to be the best builder in the world."

Tom is the CEO of Pencil, one of the coolest AI design tools that I’ve ever tried. Watching 6 AI agents design a beautiful app in real-time will genuinely blow your mind. Tom showed me how it all works under the hood (a simple JSON file?!) and how you can use Pencil to design right where you code in Cursor, Claude Code, and more.

Tom and I talked about:
(00:00) Watch 6 AI agents design an app together
(03:09) Demo: Designing a travel app with an AI agent swarm
(08:20) Redesigning screens in different styles on the fly
(13:20) The Pencil extension that turns Cursor into a design tool
(15:07) One prompt to go from visual design to React website
(19:00) Using design systems to keep your AI output consistent
(22:02) From side project to 100K users in 8 weeks
(27:44) Why vibe coding reminds Tom of the Flash era
(30:05) Humanizing AI with cursors, craft, and personality

Nat and I talked about:
(00:00) Meet Felix: The OpenClaw bot building its own business
(03:49) “I’m going to sleep. Build a product that makes me money.”
(08:03) How to set up multiple OpenClaw chats to build 5 projects at once
(11:06) How Felix is able to ignore prompt injections on X/Twitter
