Summary

Richard White, founder and CEO of Fathom AI, joins Beyond the Prompt to discuss how generative AI is changing the way product teams plan and build. As model capabilities improve quickly, estimating effort and impact becomes harder, challenging traditional roadmap driven development. Richard explains why his team operates more like an R&D function, how they experiment with different models and use cases, and what it takes to build in a world where the underlying technology keeps evolving.
