Welcome to Founder Fridays - a Notion founder series - where we sit down with builders who’ve been in the trenches to talk shop - product, design, and the real lessons no one puts on a slide deck.

In this episode, Yana Welinder, Co-founder of Kraftful (that was acquired by Amplitude last week), joins Anastasia Crew, Notion’s Global Startups Lead, to share how 50,000+ product teams are using AI to mine user feedback—and why the most successful founders know it’s not just about shipping fast, but listening with intent.
