- Automatic extraction of features, constraints, and success criteria
What problem does this product solve?
Remote teams lose requirements across chats and docs…
Stakeholder intake links
Requirements gathering that comes to you
Create a secure link, pick the template, and send it to any stakeholder — no account needed on their end. They complete the AI interview on their own time, by voice or text, and the finished document lands in your workspace with an email notification.
- No login or setup for respondents
- Voice or text — their choice
- Turn limits and expiry keep usage under control
- You're notified the moment the document is ready
Q3 Platform Requirements
What are your top three goals?
Stakeholder answering — no account needed
AI document refinement
Your first draft is just the beginning
After generation, open the refinement panel to collaborate with the AI on improving your document. Ask it to expand a section, sharpen the language, add missing details, or restructure content. Each refinement pass produces a new versioned draft, so you can always compare or revert.
- Natural-language refinement instructions
- Section-level or whole-document improvements
- Tone, depth, and focus adjustments on demand
- Every refinement creates a tracked version automatically
2. Goals & Success Metrics
Full version history
Track every change, never lose context
Every document revision, whether from initial generation, AI refinement, or manual edits, is automatically versioned. Browse a visual timeline, compare any two versions with a side-by-side diff, and restore a previous draft in one click.
- Automatic versioning on every save and refinement
- Side-by-side visual diff comparison
- One-click revert to any previous version
- Complete audit trail showing who changed what and when

Custom template builder
Create templates tailored to your team's workflow
Go beyond the 10 built-in templates. Build your own with three methods: upload a document skeleton for AI to analyze, copy and customize an existing template, or upload a finished document and let the AI reverse-engineer a reusable template from its structure.
- Upload a skeleton (.docx or .md) and AI extracts the structure
- Fork any built-in or custom template and customize it
- Reverse-engineer a template from a completed document
- Full control over sections, interview prompts, and generation instructions
