Startup Show: Actual AI Gives Project Managers the (AI) Tools They Need
“When you're going through hell, keep going." This podcast is about failure and how it breeds success. Every week, we talk to remarkable people who have accomplished great things but have also faced failure along the way. By exploring their experiences, we can learn how to build, succeed, and stay humble. The podcast is hosted by author and former TechCrunch and New York Times journalist John Biggs.
He also hosts the Startup Show with Grit Daily, a podcast focused on brand new startups.

Startup Show: Actual AI Gives Project Managers the (AI) Tools They Need
John Kennedy, CEO, talks about the problem of managing engineers.
Most people don't think about engineering managers until something breaks. Code slows down. Tickets pile up. Meetings drag on. Then someone asks, “Who’s managing all this?”
John Kennedy, CEO of Actual AI, knows that problem better than most. He’s building software for the people holding the tech world together — engineering managers who plan, coach, and report across teams but are often stuck doing it with duct-taped dashboards or a dozen browser tabs.
I talked to John on Startup Show about why Actual AI isn’t just another dashboard or bot. It’s an agent. It sees code changes, turns them into business summaries, tracks developer velocity using Stanford-grade metrics, and cuts out the grunt work that usually drags teams down. Not by flooding your Slack with hallucinated code reviews, but by actually working — quietly, usefully, and consistently — in the background.
He told me their biggest goal is giving engineering managers their time back. Not with chat prompts or half-baked integrations. But by building something custom-fit: a true system of record for real-time development. The endgame? Let managers coach their devs, not babysit them.
It's not flashy. It's not buzzwords. But it’s exactly the kind of thing that matters if you’re trying to build something real and not fall apart halfway through.
