From Product for Product Management · 48:33

Show by Matt Green & Moshe Mikanovsky

Building a prototype with AI is one thing. Getting it into your existing product is another. In the latest episode of our series featuring founders building AI products for product people, Matt and Moshe talk with Adir Ben-Yehuda, CEO and co-founder of Autonomy AI, about closing the gap between product discovery and production.Adir shares how Autonomy AI connects to an organization’s existing codebase, learns its patterns and design system, and helps product managers turn ideas into changes that fit the product they already have. The conversation goes beyond faster coding to explore a bigger question: what needs to change across an organization for AI to improve product delivery, not just individual productivity?Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Adir:His journey to founding Autonomy AI, and the product development bottleneck he set out to addressWhy faster engineering doesn’t automatically mean faster organizational learning or deliveryThe gap between AI-generated prototypes and production architecture, including prototype drift, implementation effort, and pull requests that require extensive reworkHow Autonomy AI uses existing repositories, coding standards, and connected sources like customer calls and CRMs to give product work more contextWhat differentiates its approach from greenfield builders like Lovable and Bolt, and coding agents designed primarily for engineersAdir’s reported 86% one-shot pull request approval rate, and why acceptance matters more than simply generating more codeHow working within the existing codebase can give PMs more confidence to run experiments and A/B testsThe challenges of becoming more AI-native while maintaining legacy systems, rather than starting from scratchHow Autonomy AI approaches enterprise trust, including its use of code annotations and snippets rather than storing the full codebaseThe Autonomous Product Delivery Layer, which Adir describes as connecting KPIs, opportunity identification, prototyping, and deployment trackingWhy Adir sees the future PM role shifting toward business strategy and policymaking, rather than requiring every PM to become a developerWhat comes after shipping, including planned tools for go-to-market enablement, feature decks, and product videosAnd much more!Want to connect with Adir or learn more about Autonomy AI?Website: https://autonomyai.io LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adirbenyehuda/ You can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: https://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcast Matt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky Note: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
