What you'll learn

The "Taste + Agents" formula

How product thinking becomes your superpower - learn how we shipped tny.dev to paying customers in 3 weeks

Why Jobs-to-be-Done still matters with infinite capacity

Understanding the job matters more than features when agents can build everything, see our live decision-making process

Specflow right before your eyes

Watch us go from "what problem?" to working outcomes in 15 minutes guiding agents to update our next Micro-SaaS

Take home our top lessons learned and patterns of prompting

Leave with our "25 practical lessons learned" from 2000+ hours of agentic dev plus our "Patterns of Prompting"

Why this topic matters

AI agents have solved the building problem. Now everyone can code. But most people build the wrong things, faster. At SpecStory, we combine rigorous product thinking with agentic dev. It's how we replaced AshbyHQ, TypeForm and build Micro-SaaS that people actually pay for (above and beyond our core Products). This will be hands-on and leave you practical examples so you can do it yourself.
