Google Cloud Product OS
Product-Centric IDE + SaaS Autopilot Platform (Requirements & Architecture)
Vision

Build a Product-Centric IDE and Automation Platform dedicated exclusively to:

Launching, growing, and operating SaaS products on Google Cloud

This is NOT a general-purpose IDE.
This is a Product Operating System (Product OS) designed to unify:

Code

Marketing

Analytics

Growth

Support

Experiments

Infrastructure

AI-driven automation

into one coherent platform.

It delivers:

A Cursor-like experience

Without Cursor cost

Powered by Gemini (Vertex AI)

Optimized specifically for Google Cloud

Focused exclusively on building & automating products

Core Product Principles
1. Product-Centric, Not Code-Centric

This platform optimizes for:

Shipping, launching, growing, and optimizing products, not just writing code.

2. Opinionated for Google Cloud

This system is:

Cloud Run-first

Firestore / Cloud SQL-native

BigQuery-native

Cloud Build-native

Gemini-native

No AWS, no Azure, no multi-cloud abstraction.

3. Automation First

Everything is:

Automatable

Observable

Auditable

Optimizable

4. AI as a Product Operator

The AI is not just a coding assistant.
It is a:

Product Operator AI
capable of coordinating marketing, growth, support, analytics, and code.

IDE Structure: Product-Centric Layout

Instead of a traditional IDE layout, the system must expose:

Product OS
