SUBJECT Signal Brief: AI runs the sales cycle, Perplexity schedules agent work, and demos edit themselves
HireKey
HireKey — launched October 11 — is a recruiter-informed AI copilot for tech job search: it scores role fit against the job description, tailors resume bullets with a side-by-side review of every change, practices interviews out loud with an AI voice coach that follows up and gives real-time feedback, and tracks every application — built on ten years of recruiting experience at Microsoft, Amazon, and Stripe, with a free plan.
WHY IT MATTERS PMs sit on both sides of tech hiring — a copilot that separates role fit from resume wording and coaches answers out loud is both a job-search edge and a reference for evidence-first, voice-native AI UX.
hirekey.io →kōdlo
kōdlo — launched October 11 — is an end-to-end AI sales workspace with unified context: it finds prospects that fit your ICP, turns uploaded product docs in its Knowledge Hub into personalized messages, offers, deep-research briefs, and decks, and keeps client data, team collaboration, and tasks in one place — with an MCP server that connects Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Work, or your code agent to orchestrate contexts, and free options.
WHY IT MATTERS Sales messaging drifts from the product fast — a workspace that generates outreach and decks straight from the product catalog keeps the story anchored to what actually ships, and its MCP hook previews how GTM tools plug into agent workflows.
kodlo.ai →Automations in Perplexity Computer
Automations in Perplexity Computer — launched October 11 — turns recurring work into scheduled, trigger-driven agent workflows: define a task once — monitoring sources, compiling reports, updating trackers, or drafting follow-ups — and the agent executes it on a schedule or in response to triggers, remembering prior runs and building on accumulated context instead of waiting for a prompt — built for professionals, teams, and operations leaders, with free options.
WHY IT MATTERS Half of product ops is a recurring loop — competitive monitoring, report compiling, tracker hygiene — and an agent that runs those on a schedule with memory shifts the PM's job from doing the loop to defining it.
perplexity.ai →OpenScreen 2
OpenScreen 2 — launched October 11 — is a free, MIT-licensed screen recorder that makes the demo look edited on the first take: zooms planned from your clicks, a restyleable cursor, 3D camera moves, device frames, and backgrounds, then hand the edit to your AI agent over MCP or cut the video yourself by deleting words in the transcript — on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with no account and no watermark.
WHY IT MATTERS PMs produce demo and walkthrough videos weekly — an open-source recorder whose edits an agent can drive over MCP turns demo polish into an automatable step instead of an afternoon in a video editor.
getopenscreen.com →Foley
Foley — launched October 11 — is a voice to-do list that files, plans, and asks first: say what needs doing and it turns it into a task with project, date, and reminder already set, asking when it is not sure instead of guessing, moving tasks when plans change, and planning your day from your list — capture from Apple Watch, a free desktop app that runs on your own OpenRouter key, and Pro sync across iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and the web.
WHY IT MATTERS The trust line for AI task handling is asking instead of guessing — Foley's capture-and-clarify voice loop is a shippable pattern for any PM building agents that touch a user's real data.
