Step 1: Generate Product Description with AI

The Product Description is the foundation of your AI-assisted workflow. Instead of writing it manually, use our interactive prompt to generate a comprehensive product description in minutes.

What You'll Generate

A complete product_description.md file containing:

• Elevator pitch and problem statement
• Target users and market analysis
• Product scope and feature model
• Success metrics and business model
• Technical constraints and risks

The 3-Step Process

1. Copy the Prompt

Navigate to your project and find:

ai_rules/prompts/1_product_description_prompt.md

This prompt contains an intelligent AI that will:

• Wait for your answers
• Generate a complete product description

2. Paste into Your AI Assistant

Open your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) and paste the entire prompt.

The AI will immediately ask you questions like:

## QUESTIONS
1. What is your app's elevator pitch and core problem it solves?
2. Who are your target users and what workflows are they replacing?
3. What are the 3-7 essential user journeys?
4. What is IN scope vs OUT of scope for this phase?
5. What are your key success metrics and constraints?

3. Answer Questions & Generate

Tips for Better Results

1. Be Specific: Instead of "health app", say "meditation timer for ADHD professionals"
2. Know Your Scope: Clearly state what's NOT included (e.g., "No social features in V1")
3. Define Success: Use concrete metrics (e.g., "10 min daily meditation", not "improve wellness")
4. Mention Constraints: Platform limits (iOS only), timeline (3 months), team size (solo)
