Every product starts as fog.
A hunch, a complaint, a sketch on a napkin. I like it here — fog is where the interesting problems hide, and where most teams stall.
Kevin (K2) Tu · Product × AI × Design Engineering
Fuzzy ideas in.Working products out.
I’m K2 — a product manager who still ships code. I use product thinking, AI systems and design engineering to turn half-formed ideas into products that actually run.
Now: Sr. PM, AI @ Agora — building Agent Studio
Stage 01 / 05The Fog Stage 02 / 05The Lighthouse Find the real problem.
Before anything gets built, I get painfully clear on who it’s for, what “working” means, and what we’re choosing not to do. Roadmaps, pricing and positioning are just that clarity, written down.
Stage 03 / 05The AI Core Wire in real intelligence.
RAG, prompt pipelines, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, real-time voice agents. I design AI systems that customers pay for — not demos that die after the keynote.
Stage 04 / 05The Workshop Build it for real.
A decade-plus as an engineer means I prototype in production-grade code, not slides. Design, front-end, accessibility — the details that make a product feel inevitable.
Stage 05 / 05The Launch Pad Ship it. Watch it run.
Then the only metric that matters: real people using the thing. At Firework that meant $1M+ ARR from AI products. At Agora, it’s voice agents running at scale.
Now playing
Building Agent Studio at Agora.
I lead Agent Studio — Agora’s platform for building and deploying AI voice agents at scale. I own the roadmap, pricing and positioning, working across product, engineering and go-to-market.

Quest log
Engineer → PM → AI platforms.
Fifteen years, ten levels. I started by writing the front-end, then founded, then moved into product — and never stopped building along the way.
