There's a builder version of Product Feedback Loops and a slide-deck version, and they look different up close.
Short definition. Product Feedback Loops: closing the gap between user complaint and shipped fix.
Product Feedback Loops rewards composition over reinvention. Rami's working pattern is to wire together primitives that already exist, then add the smallest amount of glue possible.
How Rami works on Product Feedback Loops
Most of what Rami knows about Product Feedback Loops comes from shipping into it. Alma has a one-tap bug button, a public Insider feature board, an automatic auditor running every three hours, and a coach that can file tickets on behalf of the user. The rest comes from teaching it — at universities, at AI Tinkerers, and inside founder programs at Antler and Mila — and from writing about it at Action Potential.
