For PMs who are tired of pretending

Stop nodding along
to tech jargon
you don't understand

hmm translates complex engineering conversations into clear, actionable insights for product managers and non-technical stakeholders.

The problem

Sound familiar?

You're not alone. Every PM has been there.

😵‍💫

You leave engineering standups more confused than when you started

🤯

Slack threads about incidents read like a foreign language

😬

You nod along in meetings, hoping context clues will save you

🙈

You're afraid to ask "what does that mean?" for the 5th time

The solution

hmm gets it

Paste a technical conversation and get a clear breakdown of what happened, why it matters, and what decisions you need to make.

Before

"The retry storm is happening because the IdempotencyGuard isn't handling partial writes properly. We need to add a distributed lock or switch to exactly-once semantics on the consumer side. The circuit breaker is tripping because the downstream service is hitting connection pool exhaustion..."

After

What happened: The system is stuck in a loop, retrying the same task over and over because it can't tell if the task already finished.

Why it matters: This is causing downstream services to become overloaded and stop responding.

Decision needed: Choose between adding a locking mechanism (simpler) or redesigning the message handling (more robust long-term).
