Strategy at the intersection of product, partnerships and AI.
PartnerLab is an independent research and product project created by Jon Zifcak to explore how AI platforms connect to the services people and businesses already use.
Why build this?
Platform partnerships are often discussed as announcements. PartnerLab focuses on the work underneath: user value, technical surfaces, incentives, permissions, launch design and measurable outcomes.
From thesis to workflow
Translate ecosystem opportunities into concrete product experiences, requirements and success metrics.
Reciprocal value
Frame what each company contributes, what each gains and why the deal can remain strategically durable.
APIs + permissions
Understand enough of auth, scopes, events and system boundaries to shape credible integration strategy with engineering teams.
