Nicolas Dessaigne(@dessaigne):On the sidelines of Paris Startup School, I had one of the most interesting conversations with @james406, the founder of @posthog. PostHog is going through what feels like a new pivot. They are known for being the best at product analytics. But now they are using AI to become what James calls a "doing company": finding problems, fixing them and opening PRs while you sleep. I sat down with James to understand how they got there.
