cloudking··on Show HN: Klavis AI – Open-source MCP integration for AI applications
What is the UX for an end user with the OAuth? They use MCP say for GitHub in Cursor, how do they provide access to their GitHub?

Also why would they not just use the official GitHub MCP?

cloudking··on Launch HN: Infra.new (YC W23) – DevOps copilot with guardrails built in
Something that periodically scans for issues, compliance, improvements. Also I can deploy to address specific tasks, upgrades, migrations etc.
cloudking··on Launch HN: Infra.new (YC W23) – DevOps copilot with guardrails built in
This looks like a good concept, what I'm more interested in is a "DevOps agent" that can analyze cloud resources and diagnose problems, suggest optimizations etc.

The deployment part isn't a pain point, the maintenance and optimization is.

cloudking··on MCP vs. API Explained
What is unique about your solution? Are you essentially handling auth tokens for the user to interface MCPs with external APIs?
cloudking··on MCP vs. API Explained
I've found BrowserTools MCP useful in my development workflow: https://browsertools.agentdesk.ai/installation

In Cursor for example, it gives the agent the ability to connect to the browser to gather console logs, network logs and take screenshots. The agent will often invoke the tools automatically when it is debugging or verifying it's work, without being explicitly prompted to do so.

It's a little bit of a set up process, as it requires a browser extension on top of the MCP configuration.

What's the legality of tools like this?
cloudking··on Google is making AI in Gmail and Docs free, but raising the price of Workspace
I'm not convinced the "Gemini all the things" strategy was the right move with Workspace, they rolled it out so fast which indicates that UX research was likely rushed or bypassed completely. Had they conducted their typical extensive UXR process they would have discovered that the features are not very useful being baked into the suite.

Now where I do think there is opportunity is in building out the standalone Gemini app, as ChatGPT has proven with their Teams product that there is business value in having a dedicated chat UI for your business. We are currently subscribed to ChatGPT for Teams and use it every day across product and engineering, there isn't a need for it to be integrated directly into our productivity suite UX, but pulling data out from the suite (e.g Google Drive) into the chat UI is helpful. Organizing project folders, custom GPTs etc also hold value for us.

cloudking··on Ask HN: How to approach first days on a new job as a senior PM?
This is not just first day advice, but more general advice for new PMs:

Talk to your users relentlessly, find out how they use and don't use your product. Get a deep understanding of their workflows and user journeys in the product.

Trim the fat (shift focus) and solve problems they have that the product doesn't solve yet or solve well.

Reduce the steps in their critical user journeys. For example, if it's something they do every day, going from 5 clicks to 3 clicks adds up over time and improves satisfaction.

Dive into metrics and implement quantitative metrics where they don't exist. Survey users for qualitative metrics.

Bring data (metrics, market research, customer quotes etc) to executive meetings to back up your ideas, data speaks louder than your words.

Basically, if your product is in the market you don't need to always guess what to build, your users will guide you. That's not to say you can't innovate too, but a large part of being a PM is bringing the user experience and their frustrations to your team to action.
