D2 Product Preview - Ren: Building an AI Coach for Eng Managers — A Non-Technical Founder's Journey

During the discussion with Ren, we chatted about a challenge many engineering leaders are feeling: real people development keeps getting squeezed by meetings and delivery pressure, even as expectations for feedback and growth rise. We also discussed what it would take for AI-assisted coaching to work day-to-day: low-friction usage, integration with existing workflow artifacts, clear privacy boundaries, and nudges that improve the quality of human conversations.
