What do you build when underlying model capabilities keep changing every few weeks? How do you balance long-horizon bets with the pressure to deliver value now? What even is product management in 2026? In this practical, AMA-style conversation, Hex’s AI research and core product leads will share what they’ve learned building agentic products together at the frontier: how product and research challenge each other, make decisions under uncertainty, what has worked (and what hasn’t), and how they turn fast-moving capabilities into complex products that people actually use.
Izzy leads AI research at Hex, with a special focus on evaluation and experimentation. In previous lives, he was a botanist, rock climber, circus clown, and various other economically infeasible roles that he's keen to return to once AI takes his current job.
