About

I help teams stop experimenting with AI and start operating with it, gaining speed, clarity, and a competitive edge. Most teams aren't struggling because they lack AI tools, they're struggling because they lack AI strategy, literacy, and governance. Tools get bought, experiments get run, but adoption stays shallow and results stay inconsistent. That's where I come in. As the founder of GrowthScript, I partner with companies to assess their AI readiness, identify the highest-ROI automation opportunities, and build AI-literate teams that lead with confidence. My approach starts with understanding where you are today: your current AI literacy, the tools you're using (and how), and your core workflows. From there, I deliver a clear enablement strategy, the right areas to leverage AI, the right tools and methods, governance frameworks, training programs, and scalable AI-powered systems. Before founding GrowthScript, I spent 12+ years as a product leader at Splunk, Microsoft, and high-growth SaaS startups, building and shipping platforms used by thousands of customers. That product management DNA is what makes my AI consulting different: I don't just recommend tools, I help teams reshape how they work. What I do: → AI Readiness Assessments & Adoption Strategy → AI Workflow Design & Automation → AI Workshops & Team Training (prompting, agents, systems) → AI Governance & Policy Guidance If your team is ready to move from AI experiments to AI-powered operations, let's talk. → Book a call : https://calendly.com/pooja-prayash/60min → Email : pooja@growthscript.io → Website : https://www.growthscript.pro/

Growth script

Founder

Apr 2025 – Present · 1 yr 1 mo · California, United States

  • Helping professional teams go from AI-curious to AI-native.
  • I work with mid-market SaaS companies to transform how their product teams operate.
  • Most teams have AI tools.
  • Few know how to use them.
  • The result: 15-20% adoption, zero velocity gains, and PMs still drowning in manual work.
  • I fix that.
  • Three ways I help:
  • The Toil Audit — Diagnostic interviewing leaders and PMs to map where AI creates the biggest leverage in your product lifecycle.
  • The AI Mastery Lab — Hands-on program where PMs build real co-pilots, automate workflows, and lead AI adoption in confidence.
  • The Build-Out — Custom automation and infrastructure so the new way of working actually sticks.
  • The outcome:
  • Teams move from ticket-shufflers to strategic operators.
  • 10x velocity isn't a tagline—it's what happens when your team stop doing work AI should handle.
