    AI PM Hub Weekly #1: Agents Write Code, but They Don't Order Pizza Yet

    Article·5 min read

    Issue #1 · November 4, 2026

    A strange week. On GitHub, more than 40% of pull requests now start with an agent's draft, while DoorDash counted only a few hundred orders from AI agents. In total. And in between are real people: one who said "apple" again with ChatGPT's help, one who cloned Photoshop, and a few hikers who trusted the chatbot a bit too much.

    1. 40% of GitHub pull requests now start with an agent

    GitHub's annual Octoverse report shows that in September more than 40% of pull requests started from an AI agent's first draft, up from 17% in March. Agents opened about 110 million pull requests in September alone, and 55% of active Copilot users already use its agent features. Yes, these are numbers from a company that sells agents, but the direction is clear.

    The bottom line: when writing code stops being the bottleneck, the bottleneck moves to whoever decides what to build and checks the result. That's true in a team of a hundred developers, and it's true when you build alone at night with Claude.

    2. DoorDash: AI agents placed a few hundred orders. In total.

    On its Q3 earnings call, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said the company has received "maybe several hundred orders in total" from third-party agents like Muse and Instinct. For scale, DoorDash's 2025 reporting puts it at about 3 million deliveries a day. Most people still order in the app, and DoorDash keeps building its own AI tools.

    The bottom line: agents that shop for us are still more headline than habit. Most people aren't ready to hand a bot their credit card, and that's fine. If you're building a product, measure this channel separately and decide by numbers, not hype.

    3. A week of clones: a free "Photoshop" built with Claude, and Claude Code refusing games

    Brandon Thomas, a developer fed up with Adobe's subscription, launched Artcraft with his team: free, open-source clones of Creative Cloud apps. According to Engadget, he used Claude Opus 5.5 to take the apps apart and rebuild them. Their "Photoshop", Photocraft, handles resizing, masks and color with near-identical menus, but users report serious bugs and it can't open PSD files.

    The same week, game developers reported that Claude Code started refusing to rebuild existing games, even when they say they have the rights. Anthropic hasn't announced a change. (As someone who rebuilt CM2 with Claude, I'm watching this closely.)

    The bottom line: cloning an existing product now takes days. What you're allowed to build, legally and by the tools themselves, is still an open question, and some of those lines are being drawn inside the AI itself.

    4. ChatGPT helped him say "apple" again

    About three years ago, Vince Bailey had a stroke that left him with aphasia. He could picture an apple and know how it tastes, but couldn't say the word. So he typed it into ChatGPT, heard it read aloud, and repeated it until the word came back. Today he's back at work and uses AI to write emails and prepare for conversations, alongside speech therapy. He wrote his essay about it with the same tools.

    The bottom line: the most moving uses of AI aren't always the flashy ones. Sometimes it's simply a patient practice partner, available at any hour, that never tires of repeating the same word for the hundredth time. Alongside professional care, not instead of it.

    5. The AI planned the hike. Then the rescue helicopter came.

    Parks in the US and Canada are seeing more hikers who planned with a chatbot and got into trouble. Three young hikers on Mount Shasta relied partly on Gemini, reached the summit only at 7:30 p.m., descended in the dark and were lost by morning. In British Columbia, a helicopter rescued a 16-year-old who had planned his trip with Claude (along with Google Maps and AllTrails). At Grand Teton, the share of visitors who say they used AI for trip information went from zero to 26% in a year.

    The bottom line: researchers call it "cognitive surrender": you stop thinking because the answer sounds confident. AI is great for a first draft, but when it really matters, check it against an official source. That's true on a mountain, and in a board presentation.

    Skill of the week: Impeccable, so your site doesn't look "like AI"

    You know the sites that all look the same, with the same purple gradient and the same cards? (Yes, this newsletter is purple too. We're working on it.) Impeccable is a design skill that works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI. It has 23 commands like typeset, colorize, layout, bolder and quieter, plus 27 rules that catch common design mistakes. It's one of the most talked-about skills this month, and you install it with one command: npx skills add pbakaus/impeccable

    The bottom line: if you built something with AI and it works but looks generic, this is the cheapest place to start.

    And if you want to move from reading about AI to building with it, I'm running Product Builder on December 2: an intensive of about 3.5 hours on building a product with AI the right way the first time. Details and registration

    See you next week, Ofer
