Summary

TrendScout is a no-code AI agent that analyzes qualitative customer feedback and summarizes it into actionable insights for product teams. It was built well under 8 hours using Microsoft’s brand-new Foundry Agent Service.

My Role:

Product Designer & Builder
Prompt Architect
QA (aka "Does this even work?”)

The Challenge

Microsoft announced Foundry Agents during #Build2025. Dev-first UI. Experimental.

As a non-dev PM, I challenged myself: Can I use this raw tech to build a real solution that saves product teams hours?

Solution

I built TrendScout: An agent that reads customer feedback (think: Zendesk tickets, app reviews, bug logs) and answers questions like:

“What are users complaining about?” “What do people love most?” “Summarize top feature requests.”

Tools Used

Microsoft Foundry Agent Service (AI orchestration)
GPT-4 (prompting + data generation)
ChatGPT (assistant + debugger)
Figma (UX sketches)
Loom / ScreenRec (video capture)

🧪 Process Breakdown

Key Features

Natural Language Feedback Analysis
Trend Detection
Sentiment Summary
Follow-up Q&A

What Makes It Different

I didn’t write a single line of code.

Built using a just-released AI platform.

It solves a real PM pain point

Done in <8 hours

What I Learned

AI doesn’t eliminate product thinking — it amplifies it
Prompt design = the new UX
Tools are moving fast — but UI/UX must catch up
I can ship real AI tools without waiting for dev time

What’s (potentially) next

Turn TrendScout into a white-labeled agent for solo founders & PMs
Create a web UI wrapper (aka a friendly frontend for normal humans)
Test with real data from local businesses

🔥 What is 888?

8 Hours. 8 Days. 8 Products. A personal challenge to build 8 functional AI-powered tools in 8 consecutive days; dedicating just ~8 hours to each build.

This is not about perfection - it’s about speed, creativity, and clarity of product thinking.

Every project is an exploration: solving real problems, testing ideas fast, and documenting the build process openly.

📌 How to Follow the Flow

Each day, I’ll share:

A short demo video
A concise build recap post (on LinkedIn & Twitter)
A full write-up in comments or blog (with lessons, tech stack, and what worked/didn’t)
And once ready, a live link to the deployed product (or prototype status if not yet deployed)
