Big news! Sous Chef, our AI-powered app for creative cooking, is officially in open beta 🎉 Now, we’re not saying we’re the next coming of Bobby Flay and Alton Brown, but we both know our way around the kitchen. And we’v
Last week, we threw down the gauntlet: We’re joining the SaaSpocalypse and picking one of our software subscriptions to replace with a vibecoded substitute. The people spoke: It’s QuickBooks. We suspect QB has very few f
Earlier this week, the NASDAQ’s most powerful software stocks took a massive nosedive because an AI provider published a plugin. It sounds kind of silly, like the (probably apocryphal) thing where elephants are deathly a
Folks, we did the dang thing. After six years of friendship, three years of consulting together, and 10 beautiful months of Friday podcasting — The Andrews are officially joining forces to create The Andrew Company. (Her
Happy almost New Year! This is a year-in-review episode, but we’ll save you the usual LinkedIn end-of-year pablum. Some things about 2025 were hard. Andrew Phelps shares how he dealt with unexpected business pressure; Mc
Phelps has been building something for the past month. It’s inspired him — maybe more than any side project in recent memory. And it just suffered a setback that has him wondering if he should keep going on at all. McGil
Our last PF conversation left us hungry for more. Sure, it’s great to hear how two chaotic coders — er, talented thought leaders — are using AI to build products. But what about genuinely top-tier engineers? Are their li
A note from The Andrews: Hey! It would help us a lot if you would review Product Fridays on Apple Podcasts (even if you don’t like us). It’s basically like giving us money. If you do, we’ll immortalize you in a limerick
A programming note: We’re now releasing Product Fridays on Mondays. We know, we know, Friday is right there in the name. But Friday is the vibe, you see. And Monday turns out to be a better day to release podcasts. OpenA
Andrew McGill shares a new demo he’s been working on — an AI-powered interior design assistant called Zhuzh — and wonders aloud: if this is just ChatGPT with a prettier interface, what’s the point? But maybe that is the
We've returned from our summer break, and Phelps is ALREADY trying to get back on Island Time by outsourcing the entire podcast to AI voice clones. Seriously, text-to-speech is one of those sneaky technologies that has g
This week on Product Fridays, we’re trying something new: a deep dive. We focus on a single product and debate whether it’s worth keeping on our phones. First up: Rise, the sleep and energy-tracking app that promises to
It’s Friday, and Andrew McGill is a deflated car dealership arm-waving balloon of a human being. So this week, we take it easy… and build a bracket to determine the very best utility app on our phones. OK, so it wasn’t e
What does it actually look like to invent something new in a week? This week we take you behind the scenes of a recent client sprint — a real one, with a real team, real stakes, and the usual emotional arc: * Monday: new
Google owns the open web. If your website isn’t Googleable or doesn’t work in Chrome, it doesn’t exist. Search has fueled discovery, traffic, and revenue growth for just about every online company of the last 25 years. S
Andrew Phelps leads off with a question, one he’s never spoken out loud before — “Am I creative?” Oof, isn’t that a straight jab to the ol’ imposter syndrome funny bone? If you’re like us, you’ve grappled with this very
This week we talk about the shifting role of product management—and whether the profession we grew up in is headed for extinction, evolution, or something in between. We start with the data: Lenny Rachitsky’s recent Stat
This week, The Andrews met up in Baltimore for the Hacks/Hackers Journalism x AI Summit, which was a blast. (Even before the Mario Kart tournament got underway.) For one, we got to see some good friends and hear them say
We all love praise. It feels good! But if a friend gives it to you over and over again, it becomes disingenuous, then irritating. If that friend is a chatbot, it can even become dangerous. That’s what happened with ChatG
