Ankit Bhangar

Product leader · AI-native PM

I ship working products, not wireframes.

I'm a product leader who works across AI, SaaS, and hardware — and in the seams between them. From a BRD to a deployed product firms run daily; from a horizontal LLM platform to a magnetic object on a desk.

Where the work sits

Three domains, and the seams between them.

Scroll through the regions — the diagram tracks along — or click any product. The work lives in the overlaps as much as the circles.

AISaaSHardware

Cognizer — a horizontal LLM platform turned into a legal AI product that firms now run daily. The model is the cheap part; the surface around it is the product.

Cognizer

FL2B and OnlyPapis. Small products in active use, where the operator role lives and a clear spec does most of the work.

MagMirror — a magnetic display object for the desk. The kind of decision (a bezel 0.3mm out of true) that simply doesn't exist in software.

MagMirror

Podsque — a 30-day battery budget that forces almost every product decision upstream of the engineers. You can't decide the UX after the radio budget is set.

Podsque

The one overlap with no dot yet — the next chapter. AI on the device, not in the cloud behind it. The seam I'm walking toward.

Product Vibe Coding — the open notebook where the small cross-domain experiments live before they earn their way into client work.

What I've built, by domain.

Experience, projects, products, and the open notebook. Filter by where it sits.

Cognizer

Director of Product — turned a horizontal LLM platform into a legal AI product that firms now run daily: citation-grounded review, per-clause confidence surfaces, and the evaluation pipeline behind them.

OnlyPapis

A side build, kept deliberately small. Pure software, shipped and in use.

Product Vibe Coding

The open notebook where the small cross-domain experiments live — prompts, jigs, prototypes, post-mortems. Most of what reaches client work was first ugly here.

Notes from the seam.

3 notes
Hardware

A SaaS habit that breaks in hardware.

SaaS teams ship a v1 and iterate against telemetry. Hardware teams can't — the BOM is frozen weeks before users see the device, and the next iteration is six months away.

HardwareSaaS

The platform PRD that should ship with a BOM.

Platform PRDs describe capabilities; hardware PRDs describe parts. When a product spans both, the PRD that survives contact with the team is the one that lists both on the same page.

AI

What legal AI taught me about horizontal AI tools.

A horizontal AI tool wins demos and loses trials. The fix isn't a better model — it's a product surface that lets the model be tentative in public.

Work with me

Four ways to work together.

Engagements ordered by intent — the higher-commitment ones first.

01

Full-time roles

Open to senior product roles — Director of Product, Head of Product, AI Product Leader, Platform Product Leader — where the work spans platforms, SaaS, and hardware.

02

Fractional & consulting

I come in early, map the product into shippable phases, and give your team a roadmap pegged to real constraints — not wishlists. Usually the spec is the problem, not the engineers.

03

Advisory & board

I've shipped AI inside a real legal product. I'll tell you which workflows AI will move the needle on — and which ones will just burn budget.

04

Peers

If you're building something in the seam and want to compare notes — just write. No agenda, no deck.
