How It Works
Idea to PRD
in 15 seconds.
Three steps. One structured output. Ready to paste into Cursor, Claude Code, or your repo and start building immediately.
The AI PRD generator workflow — from raw idea to scoped product requirements document with build order, file structure, and database schema.
Describe your idea
Choose your app type. Dump your brain.
Start by selecting your app type — Web App, Mobile App, CLI Tool, Browser Extension, API/Backend, Landing Page, or DevOps/IaC. Then describe your product idea in plain language. No formatting needed. One sentence or a full paragraph.
- Select from 7 app types — each generates type-specific PRD sections
- Write 20 to 1000 characters describing your product idea
- Use quick-fill templates if you need inspiration
- The more context you provide, the more accurate the output
Example input
"A habit tracker that donates to a charity you hate when you skip a day. Built for people who need real accountability, not just push notifications."
Set your context & stack
Tell us what you're building with.
Set your project stage (MVP, Beta, or Production), target users, UI style, and select your exact tech stack from 30+ supported technologies. Every section of the PRD adapts to your choices — acceptance criteria reference your actual tools, not generic boilerplate.
- Set project stage — MVP prioritizes speed, Production prioritizes stability
- Define target users so features are tailored to real people
- Pick UI style direction — minimal, dashboard, dark editorial, colorful, mobile-first, or headless
- Select technologies across frontend, backend, database, auth, payments, hosting, and AI
Example stack
Next.js + Tailwind + Supabase + Supabase Auth + Stripe + Vercel — the PRD will reference these specific tools in every section.
Get your scoped PRD
15 seconds. Structured. Ready to build.
Specd generates a complete, structured PRD in under 15 seconds. The AI enforces a hard 5-feature limit and 1200-word cap at the schema level — not as a suggestion, as a structural rule. The output is formatted to paste directly into Cursor, Claude Code, or any AI coding tool.
- Hard 5-feature limit enforced at schema validation layer
- 1200-word cap — dense enough to be useful, small enough for AI context windows
- Export as Markdown with one click — paste into your repo, Cursor, or Claude Code
- Refine any section with a single instruction (Pro plan)
What you get
Problem statement, target user, user flow, 5 prioritized features with acceptance criteria, build order, file structure, database schema, Mermaid architecture diagram, out-of-scope items, and success metrics.
What you get
Every PRD includes
A complete product specification in under 1200 words. Dense, structured, and formatted for AI coding tools.
Problem Statement
A clear, one-paragraph definition of what you're solving and why it matters. No fluff.
Prioritized Features
Exactly 5 features with P0/P1/P2 priority labels and acceptance criteria. Not 10. Not 20. Five.
Build Order
Step-by-step sequence: what to build first, what depends on what. Your AI coding tool follows this.
File Structure
Exact files and folders tailored to your stack. Next.js? You get app/ routes. Express? You get controllers/.
Database Schema
Tables, columns, types, and constraints for your data layer. Copy-paste into your migration file.
Architecture Diagram
Mermaid diagram showing system components and data flow. Renders in GitHub, Notion, and VS Code.
Time saved
Skip the blank page
Most developers spend hours on specs that still don't prevent scope creep. Specd solves both problems at once.
Real example
One idea. One PRD. Ready to build.
This is what Specd actually generates from a single sentence.
Your input
“A recipe sharing platform where home cooks can upload recipes with cost-per-serving calculations. Built with Next.js and Supabase.”
Context provided
Specd output (excerpt)
CostCook
Home cooks share recipes with automatic cost-per-serving breakdowns, helping budget-conscious families eat better without spreadsheets.
Also included:
Build order (7 steps) · File structure (18 files) · Database schema (5 tables) · Mermaid diagram · Out-of-scope list · Success metrics
Works everywhere
Drop it into your AI coding tool
Specd PRDs are formatted specifically for how AI coding tools consume context. Here's the exact workflow for each.
Cursor
- 1Generate your PRD in Specd
- 2Download as Markdown → rename to SPEC.md
- 3Place in project root, reference with @SPEC.md
- 4Start with: "Implement step 1 from SPEC.md"
Claude Code
- 1Generate your PRD in Specd
- 2Copy to clipboard with one click
- 3Paste as first message: "Follow this spec exactly"
- 4Claude reads file structure and creates files accordingly
Windsurf / Copilot
- 1Generate your PRD in Specd
- 2Add to Windsurf memories or drop SPEC.md in workspace
- 3Reference with #SPEC.md in Copilot Chat
- 4Any AI tool that accepts text input works
Why the 5-feature limit matters
Most AI tools generate what you ask for. Specd generates what you can actually build.
Without constraints (ChatGPT)
- -15-20 features per PRD
- -3,000-5,000 words
- -No build order or priority
- -Crowds out code context in AI tools
- -Takes weeks to build "v1"
- -Scope creep is the default
With Specd constraints
- Exactly 5 features — enforced at schema level
- Under 1,200 words — fits in any context window
- Prioritized build order tells your AI what to build first
- Leaves room for code context in Cursor/Claude Code
- Build the entire PRD in a weekend
- Out-of-scope list prevents feature creep
