Idea
Build a content planner tailored to the way we actually run business posts, social ideas, and half-formed marketing notes instead of pretending a generic Kanban board understands any of that context.
Status
This week was mostly constraint gathering. The output was a better list of what not to build than what to build.
Problems Faced
- The AI kept suggesting polished collaboration features we do not need.
- Our own process is messy enough that false neatness looked attractive.
Techniques That Helped
- Write down real tasks from the last month instead of idealised user stories.
- Ask the agent to reduce scope rather than add features.
Lessons Learned
When a tool is for your own team, honesty about your mess beats aspirational product thinking every time.
