Self Driving Products: Product Signals to Pull Requests — Joshua Snyder, PostHog
Jun 10, 2026 · 15:39
Joshua Snyder of PostHog explains how they're building a pipeline that turns product signals—errors, Slack messages, session replays—into automated pull requests. He reveals that off-the-shelf embedding models cluster signals by structural similarity, so they embed LLM-generated queries instead. He argues specificity determines whether the agent produces a useful PR, with error tracking being immediately actionable while Slack and replay usually are not. He advises starting with costly agents to discover patterns, then collapsing expensive steps into one-shot calls.
