- Clod is an AI assistant designed to streamline various daily tasks for product managers, from meeting preparation to project execution and coding.
- It automates time-consuming activities like in-depth research, rapid web app prototyping, and transforming product requirements into structured tasks.
- By delegating routine operational work to Clod, users can free up significant time to focus on strategic planning, customer engagement, and core product development.

- Automate Daily Prep: Use Clod to analyze information from Google Workspace (calendar, email, Asana) to generate a concise, organized report of your daily commitments and priorities.
- Expedite Research: Leverage Clod's capabilities to analyze proposals and conduct thorough literature reviews by searching through your drive and the web, compiling findings into a single report.
- Rapid Web App Prototyping with Clod Code: Delegate web application development by providing Clod Code with event context and design mockups; it generates a plan, builds the app, sets up the database, and delivers a working prototype.
- Streamlined Task Management: Integrate Clod with Asana (powered by Remote MCP) to automatically convert Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into structured tasks, complete with assigned personnel, deadlines based on sprint cycles, and relevant metadata.
- Focus on Strategy: By offloading operational and execution tasks to Clod, product managers can dedicate more time to strategic initiatives, customer interaction, and informing the product roadmap.

My name is Maggie. It's early in the morning and I just came in so I would love to show you how I use Clod to prepare for my day. I'll start by having Clod analyze my docs, emails, and a son of a-tax. So, Clod is searching through my Google workspace. It's pulling together information from my calendar, my email, and my a son of a-today list into a report that's organized and neat and shows me exactly what's on my plate for today. Turns out, there's a meeting later to sink about moving forward some educational research endeavors for the team. Okay, let's use Clod to prep for this research meeting. I'm going to use our latest models in-depth research capabilities to help me out here. I'm going to ask Clod to pull up the education proposal and then analyze the proposal and conduct a thorough literature review for each of the research questions. So now Clod's working and Clod is first looking through my drive, searching the web and trying to find all the different pieces of academic literature. Now that Clod's finished with everything, Clod's compiled every single thing that it's found into one neat report for me to read through. You know, back when I worked in academia, a literature review like this could take me at least half a day just to find all the relevant sources. Let alone weeks to digest everything and understand what was relevant and what isn't. I can spend so much more time putting together the big picture strategy for the team and also maybe to get a refund. Today my top priority is our Anthropic Developer Conference, Code With Clod. We want to have a called Cafe Popup. What's has Clod Code to help us build and order management system? Normally, building a web app would take weeks of coding. With Clod Code, I can delegate the execution so I can spend more time with our customers to inform our product roadmap. Okay, let's give Clod Code some context about the event so it can make the right implementation decisions. We need a way for users to place orders, for bristles to track orders, and for our operations team to monitor wait times. Let's drop in the mockups from our design team. Cool, Clod is generating a to-do list so that we can see its plan and edit if needed. We can see it's building the web app and setting up the database. Clod checks things off as it finishes. We'll let Clod Code cook and check back in later on its progress. Let's see what Clod Code came up with. We quickly made a working prototype that's ready for testing. Since Clod Code handled the prototype, our engineering team can focus on core features for Clod Code users. As a PM at the end of every day, I usually have to turn my docs into actual work for the rest of the team. Let me show you how Clod and I can organize my tasks in Asana. I'm using Asana integration powered by Remote MCP. Let's take the PRD I've been working on and chat with Clod to make sure Asana has everything that we need. First, I'm going to tell a Clod to take a look at this PRD and start creating some structured tasks. I'm also going to make sure it assigns each task to the right person on my team and set some deadlines based on our usual sprint cycle. Clod is reading through the PRD and understanding all of the project requirements and now it's turning them into real tasks in Asana. While it's doing so, it's adding the right deadlines, adding the right metadata and putting it in the right projects for me to take a look at later. And this is really where we see Clod's intelligence meet its ability to talk to my favorite tools and my favorite software. And just like that, what used to take up most of my evening, I'm not doing in just a few minutes. And that's what it feels like to have Clod as a teammate.
