À propos de cet audio
In this episode of SaaS Founder Stories, I talk with Francis Brero, co-founder and CPO of MadKudu, about what it really looks like to build an AI-native company — one where LLMs aren’t just powering the product, but actively shaping how the team works, writes, builds, and ships.
From switching to Cursor as their coding assistant, to writing documentation for machines instead of humans, MadKudu is running fast, lean, and deeply AI-driven.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
→ MadKudu moved from GitHub Copilot to Cursor for deeper AI dev workflows
→ Teams feed product specs, architecture docs, and support data directly into the AI
→ Documentation is now written for LLMs — not just new hires
→ Every team runs weekly AI hackathons to build the muscle
→ The future of SaaS won’t be about moats — it’ll be about distribution and speed
SOUND BITES
→ "Cursor became our senior engineer. It knows our code and the business."
→ "We don’t write docs for people. We write them for LLMs."
→ "AI won’t replace your team — but teams who use AI will outpace you fast."
→ "The value of AI only compounds if you practice — every week."
This is one of the most tactical breakdowns yet on how to make AI a company-wide advantage. Subscribe to SaaS Founder Stories wherever you listen.
