Engineers on my team started shipping 40x faster once they picked up AI coding agents. I'm the PM I already didn't have enough hours in the day, and once that happened the bottleneck flipped onto me: my job was never writing code, it's making sure they build the right thing, and there was no way I could keep up with that pace by hand. There's a ton of tooling thought through for the engineer side of this shift. Almost nothing built for the PM side the surface to actually feed an agent what matters just didn't exist.

So I built Atisbo to solve that for myself. I'm a PM and I was tired of the operational work of maintaining a backlog by hand I built something to do it for me, so my agent could work alongside me instead of me being the thing slowing it down. It turned into a context layer: user feedback, sales calls, support tickets all get synthesized and grouped by actual root problem, not by whoever filed the ticket first. Instead of a doc I have to keep rewriting, it's built to be read directly by coding agents over MCP.

Who it's for: PMs already shipping with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) who are still doing Product Ops by hand rebuilding "what's actually going on" from scratch before every decision.

The number that convinced me to keep building it: it cut about 18 hours a week of that reconstruction work off my own plate. And watching teams that pair a PM with a strong product culture, decisions and shipped fixes moved roughly 7x faster than the same PM working alone with Claude Code and no context layer feeding it same agent, same PM skill, just missing the "why" behind what to build.

Doing one of these because I get more from reading what others are building than from any newsletter.

I'll start.
