Why Trial
ChatPRD helps generate structured product requirements documents from conversational input. For solo builders who skip documentation and jump straight to code, this could provide valuable structure without the overhead.
What It Does
- Conversational PRD creation - Describe your feature, get structured docs
- Template-driven - Follows proven PRD formats
- Iterative refinement - Edit and expand through dialogue
- Export options - Various formats for different needs
Current Exploration
Testing ChatPRD for:
- Documenting features before implementation
- Creating shared artifacts for future reference
- Forcing clearer thinking before coding
Early Observations
Promising:
- Forces structured thinking upfront
- Good starting point for feature specs
- Faster than writing from scratch
Still Evaluating:
- How much value the structure adds vs. freeform notes
- Integration with existing workflow
- Whether the overhead is worth it for small features
Build-in-Public Relevance
Having documented requirements could improve:
- Build log clarity (reference the PRD)
- Article content (explain what was built and why)
- Future maintenance (remember why decisions were made)
