Glen Pridgen — Product Builder
I build software products
by directing AI agents.
Thirty years directing development teams as project manager, architect, program director, and product owner. Now the team is AI — spec first, verify everything, ship.

-
Gear Manager
A catalog for music gear that identifies make, model, and specs straight from a photo — with its own eval suite to keep the AI honest.
-
AI Assistant
A desktop personal assistant that keeps your data and context on your machine, not in someone else’s cloud.
-
Audio Manager
A desktop tool for organizing, tagging, and actually finding things in a serious audio library.
-
Personal OS Platform
The platform underneath everything else — one account, one system, tying the personal apps together.

First pieces are in the works — the feed will announce them.
About
My whole career has lived on one line: the line between what a product owner wants and what a development team builds.
Three decades in technical product implementation — project manager and system designer at BellSouth back when AOL, MindSpring, and CompuServe were the internet; IT director; a national Citrix-based technology strategy serving surgery centers across the U.S.; program director for a large Northeastern payer’s ICD-10 conversion; technical architect on AT&T’s mHealth platform. Mostly large healthcare programs, always the same seat — translating product into engineering and back.
I’ve also been a musician since I was fifteen — songwriter, performer, and the reason half these tools exist. I shipped DAW plugins and custom software for musicians by pairing with open-source developers long before “agentic coding” had a name.
Now I direct AI agents the way I’ve directed development teams for thirty years: spec first, verify everything, ship.
