Founder and CEO of Product.ai, formerly Demand.io. Bootstrapped since 2009.
We build verified commerce knowledge for humans and AI agents. SimplyCodes verifies promo codes and deals at scale. Product.ai turns durable product truth into infrastructure that AI systems can rely on.
Nearly all of my code lives in private repos. I run the company on an AI-native operating system we built for ourselves: every operator works through AI agents wired into one shared knowledge substrate, governed by written law the agents actually follow. The essays at michaelquoc.com unpack what we learn running a company this way.
If you are an operator-architect who builds systems like this for sport, we should talk.
