Riff

Amy Chou

AI is adapting to how we work

But are we adapting to work with AI?

Our workflows protect the wrong thing

PRDs. Sprints. Alignment meetings. Built to guard expensive engineering time.

Building is cheap now

Alignment is the bottleneck.

The best signals now come from building

Traditional planning rituals are becoming obstacles to getting things done.

Introducing Slack & Riff

Turn scattered context into shared prompts that teams can riff on.

Riff is designed to get momentum fast

Start riffing right where the team is already talking.

Start adding everything you can think of

Problem. Constraints. Success criteria. Inspiration.

Directions emerge

Generate different approaches, each one buildable.

Everyone builds

Grab a prompt. Start prototyping. Parallel experiments, shared context.

Plan just enough to get started

Leverage building to get real signal faster, then iterate.
