A Software Engineer’s Journey into Product Management Tools

Hey Product Hunt! đź‘‹


I’m a software engineer at Acorns, where I’ve spent years building fintech products that help people invest in their future. While working in tech, I noticed a recurring problem—product managers struggle with documentation, approvals, and handoffs to engineering. So, I decided to build Artefact alongside my co-founders @royesegal and @marc__milberg.


What is Artefact?
Artefact is a live collaboration tool for product managers to create technical documents like PRDs, automate approvals, and streamline handoffs to engineering. Think of it as a smarter, workflow-driven alternative to traditional docs, designed specifically for product teams.


🔹 Live collaboration—edit in real-time with your team
🔹 Automated approvals—no more chasing stakeholders
🔹 Seamless handoff—structured documentation for engineers

🔹 Analytics & insights—track document approvals, team engagement, and bottlenecks
🔹 Google Workspace integration—import/export docs effortlessly


If you're a product manager (or work closely with them), I’d love to hear your thoughts—whether it’s about Artefact or the challenges you face working in tech. Let’s chat! 🚀💡
