How Do I Turn Conversations Into Actual Work Artifacts?: DEAR BEN

Work happens in conversations. The problem is it stays there.

You hash out a product idea, talk through requirements, make decisions — and then somehow you're supposed to recreate all of that in a document later. That's where everything falls apart.

I use AI to extract the work that already happened and turn it into artifacts that keep the momentum going. PRDs, user stories, requirements — pulled straight from the conversation.

SHOW NOTES

• Work happens in conversations — but it stays trapped there
• The "missing middle" — decisions made verbally rarely become documents
• Extract the work, don't recreate it — AI pulls out what you already figured out
• Zero-draft artifacts — PRDs, user stories, requirements from the conversation itself
• Pressure-test with clarifying questions — surface gaps before you build
• 95% of the work already done — you just need to extract it
