Summary

A Product manager/strategist/founder has many roles, but very few of them have been “solved” for today:

Untitled

PMs make decisions based on their own limited experience. For a Sr PM that’s worked for 5 years, that’s reasonably maybe 15-25 products and features they’ve launched. After narrowing down to specific stages, industries, and circumstances of each of those products and features, their experience is at the end of the day, very limited.

Instead, Skanda can provide personalized data intelligence across every successful and failed product at the right stage, industry and other constraints to maximize ROI.

Right now, PMs make decisions based on intuition. Copilot makes decisions with thousands of products’ data. Who would you rather hire?

The model will get smarter over time, both to become more accurately personalized, and also to improve via user feedback data.

How many times have products been slowed down because the wrong features were prioritized, when the same mistakes were made that could’ve been avoided, when tickets were mis-estimated and caused a ton of downstream headache with having to replan everything for every other department (or even worse, losing customer contracts)?

Why now

GenAI allows ingestion of unstructured data required to personalize the product.

Competition

Other tools are focusing on reducing “busy work” for PMs, such as auto-generating PRDs and writing up tickets. While these are nice to have, they aren’t necessarily the highest impact functions of a PM.

MVP

Being close to users is critical for early PMs and founders, but ticketing software is expensive and bulky (Zendesk, Salesforce etc).

And manage it in an admin portal. The portal provides insights, logs and ways to “chat with” the data, and helps in prioritizing what to build.
