PERSONA 01

Solo developers capturing architecture decisions

  • Decision context dies in Slack threads — "why did we pick Postgres over Dynamo?" has no canonical answer.
  • You re-explain the same tradeoffs to every new AI session, then forget what you told it last week.
  • Architecture Decision Records rot in wikis nobody reads and never reach the moment a future-you actually needs them.

PERSONA 02

Engineering leads tracking team interviews

  • 1:1 notes end up scattered across Google Docs, Notion, and your memory — none of them searchable from one place.
  • It's hard to remember what each report is blocked on week-to-week, so the same blockers surface in every retro.
  • Onboarding a new hire means re-telling the same team history from scratch instead of pointing them at a brain that knows it.

PERSONA 03

Product managers logging user research calls

  • Interview transcripts pile up in Drive folders and lose the participant context (who said what, when, why).
  • Insights from last quarter's research don't reach today's AI — months of patterns are effectively invisible to the tools you actually use.
  • Cross-call patterns stay hidden without manual synthesis, so the same themes get re-discovered every planning cycle.
