We re building Athena as a system that tries to connect product intent with technical reality using AI subagents.

Instead of just managing tasks, it tries to understand how the product actually behaves - architecture, constraints, and decision history.

Before we go deeper:
If you could give an AI workspace one ability related to product understanding, what would it be?

Would love to hear different perspectives from PMs, engineers, and founders.

I have been a software engineer for 25 years and an engineering manager for 6. I know how to build things. What I could never figure out was how to remember everything I built, reviewed, commented on, or responded to on any given day.

My calendar tracked meetings fine. Everything else just disappeared. PR reviews, Jira comments, ad hoc requests from leadership, performance review prep, one-off conversations that turned into two hours of unplanned architecture discussions. By Friday I could barely reconstruct Tuesday. I eventually started keeping a running Google doc of everything I touched each day, including meetings. It was exactly as tedious as it sounds.

Hey Product Hunt community,

We just launched TransferSecure - a file transfer service that lets you send files up to 5 GB for free, no account needed on the recipient's end.

A few things we focused on that most transfer tools skip:

• Every file up to 200MB is virus-scanned before the download link activates

• Files are encrypted in transit and at rest

• Links auto-expire and files are permanently deleted after expiry

• No forced sign-ups - just verify your email and send

I experience 2 types of inspiration:

• Internal my drive to improve based on my results and aspirations for where I want to be.

• External people around me, talks, success stories, etc.
