Korey vs ChatGPT: Why Teams Choose Korey for Product Work
Key Takeaways
- ChatGPT is a great general-purpose AI for writing and ideation, but it lacks real-time context about your projects.
- Korey is the AI Product Management Agent that connects to Shortcut and GitHub to turn ideas into actionable work.
- Teams using Korey move from idea to delivery faster because Korey handles specs, summaries, and updates.
- Choose ChatGPT for creativity, Korey for collaboration and execution.
The Question Every Team Should Ask
Large language models like ChatGPT changed how teams brainstorm, write, and explore ideas. But when it comes to managing real product work, ChatGPT has some limits.
ChatGPT is great for writing, brainstorming, or exploring ideas. It’s less great at understanding what your team’s working on, who’s doing what, or what already shipped three stand-ups ago. That’s where Korey comes in, the AI Product Management Agent that actually knows your team’s work.
By connecting to tools like Shortcut and GitHub, Korey turns rough ideas into actionable specs and generates insights and work summaries to keep your team aligned.
The Problem with Using ChatGPT for Product Work
ChatGPT is a fantastic general-purpose tool, but that’s also the problem. It doesn’t know your backlog, your team, or what shipped last week. Even with memory, it can’t see your actual work, so you spend time catching it up instead of moving forward.
ChatGPT helps you think. Korey helps you build.
What Makes Korey Different From ChatGPT
Korey isn’t just another chat window. It’s your AI Product Management Agent, connected to your tools like Shortcut and GitHub (and more on the way), so it actually knows what’s going on.
With that context, Korey can:
- Turn rough ideas into ready-to-go Stories and specs
- Break work down into sub-tasks and acceptance criteria
- Write stand-up summaries, release notes, and progress updates
- Surface stale work and highlight completed tasks
- Answer project-specific questions in plain language
ChatGPT can do a lot, but Korey takes it a step further: it creates real, structured work your team can build on right away.
Built for Teams, Not Just Prompts
ChatGPT is built for individuals. Korey is built for teams. Because Korey integrates with both Shortcut and GitHub, everything it creates is connected to your team's work. You’re not exporting data, managing a multitude of tabs, or emailing yourself a to-do list you’ll forget to open. Korey helps teams collaborate faster, with context that’s always up to date.

It understands the status of your projects, Issues, and Pull Requests, and uses that context to provide updates, surface insights, and keep your team aligned without another “quick sync.”
Instead of spending hours formatting specs or writing summaries, your team stays focused on building while Korey handles the work about work.

If you’re managing product work, planning a sprint, or creating a PRD, Korey’s the right fit.
