AI can generate your PRD in 30 seconds. Nobody tells you about the 47 revisions that come after.

I spent years in ops leadership at Disney, scaling streaming platforms globally. The job was always about systems, not heroics. Clear acceptance criteria, tight scope, relentless triage.

When I left to build my own thing, I figured AI would handle the hard parts. It does generate code fast. What it doesn't do is ship products.

I built PasteFlow, a Chrome extension that simulates human typing for pasted text. Simple concept. But getting from "AI wrote the code" to "this actually works reliably" meant writing real PRDs for myself, defining edge cases, protecting scope when the AI wanted to add features I didn't ask for, and triaging defects like I had a QA team of one.

The prompting part? Maybe 10% of the work. The other 90% was operating like a PM even when I was the only person on the project.

I'm looking for 10 early adopters who get this stuff. DM me "PasteFlow" and I'll send a lifetime access code. All I want back is honest feedback.
