Gert-Jan van Rootselaar is Founder of Connected Dreams. He began his career as a Research Scientist at Philips, later moving into management consulting, game development and independent roles as a technical architect and program manager. Years of working close to product development exposed a recurring need: more structure, traceability and control without slowing teams down.
Connected Dreams
Reliable product development requires people and AI agents to work from the same current, connected and validated product truth.
That is the idea behind Connected Dreams.
One product model
Connected Dreams is a workspace for product development where people and AI agents build and work from one connected, validated and fully traceable product model.
Structure during the work
Documentation should stay current because of the work, not become a separate job after it.
As work happens, the workspace enables people and agents to continuously structure, connect and validate requirements, designs, decisions, tests and results - keeping the product model current and traceable without turning documentation into a separate job.
A warning
Adding AI to fragmented documents and communication does not solve the original problem. It can amplify it.
Built through use
Connected Dreams was not created in response to the latest AI trend. It grew from years of hands-on engineering, entrepreneurship and real-world product development. Together with an in-house client team, we spent years building, testing and improving the system through daily use.
AI has simply made the original need more urgent - and a workspace that creates structure during the work itself more relevant than ever.
