What Happens When a PM Runs a Coding Agent (almost) Full-Time

A product manager at Astronomer, with a background in data engineering and leadership, shares insights from the first month of onboarding as an "agent-native" PM, emphasizing the integration of AI into daily workflows. By leveraging Claude Code, a personal workflow agent, they created a comprehensive system for organizing and retrieving structured knowledge from meetings and interactions, enhancing productivity and strategic planning. This system includes a git repository with markdown files for people, customers, and daily logs, and uses tools like Granola for transcription and QMD for semantic search. They also developed an interactive org chart with DuckDB integration for better relationship tracking. Despite achieving significant output, the manager aims to balance detailed documentation with efficiency and plans to make the knowledge system collaborative to benefit colleagues. They advocate for experimenting with AI tools to create compounding systems that enhance work efficiency while focusing human efforts where they are most impactful.
