Let's talk about
what you're facing.
Whether it is moving your team onto agentic development, an AI feature or a hard integration, agent readiness, the AI bill, GTM workflows, or fractional product leadership.
What to include
A first message does not need to be formal, but these four things make the first conversation dramatically more useful:
- What your product does, and roughly who buys it.
- What is prompting this — a customer asking for an integration, a board question about AI, a roadmap decision you keep deferring, or an engineering team that is stuck.
- Your stack, at least loosely. Language, framework, whether there is a public API, and how authentication works today.
- Your timeline, and who else needs to agree.
Who this tends to fit
Most engagements are with seed through Series B B2B SaaS companies, where a CTO, VP of Engineering, or founder can make the call directly without routing through procurement. That is not a rule so much as an observation about where this work goes well.
It tends not to fit staffing or body-shop arrangements, one-off prompt writing, or projects where no technical decision-maker is involved. If that is what you need, saying so early saves us both a call.
Before you write
If you are wondering whether agent readiness is even a live issue for your product, run the five-minute version first. Open ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok and try to use your product from there. Not search for your marketing site, not summarize your docs, but do the job your customer is trying to do. What you find is usually a better first message than anything you could write from scratch.
