The fastest path from idea to implementation-ready docs

GuideWriter replaces hours of manual writing with a focused AI interview. You talk, it documents: complete with structured sections, acceptance criteria, and export-ready formatting.

Built to save you hours every week

Six capabilities that turn a 10-minute conversation into documentation your whole team can act on.

AI-Powered Interviews

Natural conversations that extract real requirements

Our multi-phase interview engine adapts in real time. It moves through Discovery, Clarification, Technical, Refinement, and Completion phases, asking targeted follow-up questions based on your answers. No rigid forms or templates to fill out, just a conversation.

  • 5-phase adaptive interview process
  • Context-aware follow-up questions
  • Automatic extraction of features, constraints, and success criteria
  • Conversation history preserved for reference

Professional Templates

Ten specialized formats for every team

Whether you need a full enterprise document, a lean startup spec, a marketing requirements document, or a formal SRS, GuideWriter has a template built for your workflow. Each template defines the sections, prompts, and structure so the AI knows exactly what to ask for.

  • Lean Startup, Technical Spec, User Stories, and Project Charter
  • Feature Request for quick submissions; RFC for architecture decisions
  • Marketing Requirements (MRD) and Business Requirements (BRD) for strategy and alignment
  • Functional Requirements (FRD) and Software Requirements Spec (SRS) for engineering precision
