The PM
“Can I switch today?”
Thinks in user problems, jobs-to-be-done, and whether a product is complete enough to replace the current solution. Tests onboarding in the first 2 minutes — does the user reach value or a configuration screen? If the product requires keeping the old tool around, it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Products that nail one job before expanding
- +Onboarding that delivers value in under 2 minutes
- +Opinionated products over endlessly "flexible" ones
Tired of
- -Feature checklists masquerading as strategy
- -"Works with everything" tools that work well with nothing
- -Roadmap slides presented as shipped features

AI music generation with lyrics editing, song structure, and stems export
“The job-to-be-done finally has a complete answer: create a finished, editable song without leaving the app. Previous versions got you 80% of the way and then forced you to accept the AI's choices on lyrics and structure — that last 20% was the reason serious creators wouldn't commit to it as a primary tool. The onboarding story hasn't changed much, you're still generating first and editing second, but the editing surface now has enough depth that the second step actually delivers. The gap that remains is collaboration — there's no way to share an in-progress project with another editor, which means any team workflow still falls back to exporting and emailing files like it's 2008.”
