What is ProductOS?
+
ProductOS is an AI-powered product operating system that runs a team of 13 specialized agents through the full product development lifecycle. It brings institutional discipline to solo founders and early-stage product leaders by automating research synthesis, strategy formulation, requirements writing, design, architecture, engineering, QA, launch planning, analytics setup, and iteration.
How does ProductOS work with Claude/Cowork?
+
ProductOS is a plugin for Cowork and Claude Code. You install it in your plugin directory, initialize a new product project, and then run agents via commands or Slack. Each agent reads the methodology, your project files, and the work completed by upstream agents. All work is stored as markdown and codeâno proprietary database.
Can I customize the agents?
+
Yes, but it depends on your plan. On Pro and Team tiers, you have full access to the methodology (CLAUDE.md). You can modify agent definitions, adjust quality gates, customize templates, and create team-specific variants. You own the system design.
What if I only need some agents?
+
The Starter tier includes 3 core agentsâperfect if you're validating ideas. The Pro tier gives you all 13 agents, but you can use them as needed. You don't have to use every agent for every project.
Is my data private?
+
Yes. All your work is stored in your workspace as markdown and code. ProductOS runs in your Cowork or Claude Code environmentâyour product strategy, research, specs, and code never leave your machine. We don't see your data and don't use it for training.
How long does it take to ship a product?
+
The typical timeline is compressed significantly. A solo founder going through the full pipeline usually takes 4â8 weeks with ProductOS. The system is 2â3x faster than ad hoc because there's no context loss, no re-work, and clear quality gates.
What if ProductOS adds features I don't like?
+
You don't have to adopt them. The methodology is open and documented. If we release a new version you don't like, you can stick with the old methodology. You own the system. You control the process.
Do I need PM experience to use ProductOS?
+
ProductOS teaches you as you go. Every agent guides you through the process. The templates are pre-written. If you're a founder or engineer building your first product, you'll learn the methodology by doing it. If you're a seasoned PM, you'll recognize the frameworks and appreciate the discipline.
