If you're a PM, chances are 50% of your day is gone before you do any real work.

Replying to Slack. Reading email. Sending updates. Sitting in syncs.

The actual work - research, brainstorming, analytics, learning new tools - gets the leftover scraps.

I built a FREE Claude Cowork course to flip that. It shows you how to run discovery, research, roadmaps, and metrics in a fraction of the time - and win back about 2 hours a day.

No coding. No theory. Just 1 real product problem, solved end-to-end. The best PMs aren't working more hours. They're wasting fewer.

@chiragiscooking It's actually way easier in India than the other two continents. Having started companies in all three, I've seen the difference firsthand.

Most PMs are using AI only to write PRDs and summarize meetings.

That’s just level 1.

The real unlock is when a PM can use tools like Claude Code and Claude Design to go from idea → flow → UI → prototype → product direction.

You don’t need to become an engineer. But you do need to understand how AI can help you build.

That’s why I created a FREE course on Claude Code + Claude Design for PMs.

The future PM won’t just explain ideas. They’ll show them.

@sama a $50/month Codex plan would be perfect.

$20 feels a bit limited, but $100 is too high for me right now. If there was a solid middle tier, I’d honestly cancel Claude and move to Codex right away.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

Hot take: Codex might beat Claude at UI design.

Not because it writes better code.

Because with GPT Image 2.0, it can bring something Claude still struggles with: visual depth.

Richer graphics. Better branding. Cleaner layouts. Stronger colour blending.

Claude UIs are decent, but they often feel icon-heavy and template-driven.

If this keeps improving, UI-heavy builders may quietly start moving from Claude to Codex.

Last week I tried a small experiment.

Can I build a real product without opening the browser?

No dashboards.
No clicking around.
Not even for DNS or env setup.
This sounds easy if you’re building a basic landing page.

But I was setting up Stripe, RevenueCat, Superwall, Cloudflare, Vercel, GCP and a bunch of other tools you need for a proper product.

Surprisingly, I got almost everything done from the terminal.

Only a few things still needed the dashboard, mostly because of security or product limitations.

It made me realise how much the interface is changing.

The browser is no longer the only place where products are built.

APIs, CLIs and AI agents are becoming the new workflow layer.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

I’ve used Semrush and Ahrefs since 2018.

The interesting shift?

Their best workflows are slowly moving from dashboards → APIs.

Because in the AI age, dashboards are no longer the only interface.

MCP, CLI, agents, internal scripts — all need programmable access.

The dashboard was the interface of SaaS.

The next interface is the API.

I wasted 4 days tweaking UI with Claude for a simple website. Today, I found a faster hack:

Pick a amazing v0 template → asked Claude for crisp copy → dropped it in.

Professional website ready in ~20 mins. No endless UI/UX back-and-forth.

@thebigk You just say hello, done you 20% limit is gone 😂

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

Now the most important part:

Cost

From my experience, a $20 Codex subscription delivers roughly the same practical usage as Claude Code at $80, if not $100.

I know they are subsidizing adoption now. I am sure they'll reduce it by half.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

When a coding assistant is slow, you stop exploring.

You stop asking small questions.

You batch too much into one prompt. You lose your flow.

Fast tools don’t just save time. They change how you think.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

Also Codex isn’t just good in one isolated interface.

I first used it inside Codex itself.
Then I started using it inside tools like Ghostty and now Conductor.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

The biggest difference I felt immediately was speed after enabling Fast Mode

Codex feels roughly 2x faster in actual day-to-day use.
Not benchmark faster.
Not “maybe slightly snappier” faster.

Actually faster in the way that changes your workflow.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

I Used Claude Code for ~6 months, now switched to Codex.

And honestly… it reset my expectations for what AI coding tools are supposed to feel like.

I used to think slow, file-by-file, “thinking forever” behavior was just the cost of good code output.

Turns out, it wasn’t. 🧵

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

Initually I assumed coding models has to be slow.

You ask for something, they crawl through files, think for ages, and eventually give you an answer.
I thought that was just normal.

After using Codex, I realized: I had normalized latency.

[Navdeep Yadav @NavdeepRedefine]

My switch wasn’t random.

I was trying to get good mobile UI from Claude Code.

Tried different approaches, different prompting styles, skills, DesignMD, ClaudeMD and everything else

The output was somewhat better, but still too many slower iterations cycle each time.
