Bring AI into how you and your team build.
I build with you, 1:1 or with your team, on your stack and your backlog, and we leave with something that runs. Not coaching from the sidelines. Invite me to speak, bring me in to build with your team, or have me alongside while your startup makes its first AI bet.
Not sure which? Email me what you’re trying to ship and I’ll suggest the smallest useful first step.

Train your team01 · speak
Keynotes, panels, and fireside chats on agentic AI, AI-native product building, and what changes for a product team when the agent writes the first draft. Practitioner talks, with live demos.
02 · train
1:1 build sessions and team workshops on Claude Code, agents, evals, and the layers around them, for PMs, founders, and teams who need to ship with AI. We build on your stack and your backlog, and you leave with something that runs. Starting from zero? We begin with one workflow and write the contract before we touch a tool.
03 · advise
0→1 product strategy, go-to-market, positioning, and early product marketing for AI-first startups: the same work I do with incubator founders, after 10+ years of shipping zero-to-one in SaaS.
Maven · with Hamza Farooq
Build AI-native products with Claude Code: skills, subagents & agent teams.
Six applications, end to end: CLAUDE.md files that work, reusable skills, specialised subagents, coordinated agent teams, evals for AI output, and a deployable product by the last session.

Design, build, and deploy AI agents your business can run on.
Find the high-impact use cases, design and evaluate production-ready agents, and learn orchestration, memory, retrieval, and guardrail patterns well enough to lead the initiative yourself.

Build, deploy, and evaluate an AI agent for your own work.
I’m collaborating with The Builder Course on hands-on AI training. Build a working agent, shape the layers around it, and learn how to review and improve what you ship.

▶ what I teach, and why it holds
Whether it works a hundredth time is decided by the six layers around it, and building them is product work, not engineering work. Acceptance criteria become rubrics; edge cases become boundaries.
“Implementation gives us speed, but constraints give that speed the right direction. Coherence is what emerges when we keep doing both together.”
▶ more than vibe coding
Vibe coding is how most of us got our first working thing: prompt, look, prompt again. A builder’s job is what comes after: what ‘done’ must produce, what the agent may touch, what good means, what to keep for next time. That’s the difference between a demo and a system, and it’s what I teach.
▶ learn from the conversations
Hallway conversations with the people building the tools you use: 66+ episodes on AI, product, and growth, and a good chunk of what I teach was first worked out on this show.

Aishwarya AshokAI Product Builder · Teaching Agentic AIpublic post · 🌐Lately, as I’ve been building more workflows, agents, and configurations around models, I’ve been wondering about the difference between ‘abundant implementation’ and ‘abundant constraints.’ Because we can now turn an idea into a prototype or a functional app so quickly, the natural instinct is to keep building. Ship more ideas, automate more work, and give the model more things to do. There is nothing wrong with that. The more important trait is not simply being able to implement abundantly. It is being able to create abundant constraints around that implementation. When we ask a model to build something and leave the rest open, we give it far more control over the work than we realise. Constraints are how we bring our own judgment back into that process.…see more31 · 2 commentsLinkedIn News Indiafeaturing Aishwarya on AI burnoutpublic post · 🌐“AI hygiene in the way you actually work with AI… is going to get a lot more attention.” Most organisations sit at one of two extremes — mandating AI use, or employing it for optics’ sake — and few have found the intentional middle ground.…see more824 · 161 commentsAishwarya AshokAI Product Builder · Teaching Agentic AIpublic post · 🌐A few product + AI musings I’ve been sitting with lately and wanted to write down: 📌 Systems thinking is more than ever crucial, especially building and working with AI agents. Being able to think in steps, understand every order of operation, and knowing the overall architecture behind, and finally how all of these are interconnected, will get us in the right path with agents. 📌 A lot of product building is going to exist in the boundaries — whatever we call today as loops, graphs, harness, and the next pressing thing that’ll be highlight, all point back to a way boundary can be defined and applied.…see more63 · 18 commentsI’m a product builder who crossed over from telling product stories to shipping them, and then from shipping products to shipping them with agents.
