Inside the AI interview
The interview follows five structured phases. Each phase focuses on a different aspect of your product, so nothing gets missed.
Discovery
What are you building? Who is it for? What problem does it solve?
Clarification
What are the key features? How do users interact with it? What are the priorities?
Technical
What tech stack? What integrations? What are the constraints?
Refinement
What are the edge cases? How will you measure success? What's the timeline?
Completion
Summary of everything gathered. Ready to generate your document.
See it in action
Here's what a typical GuideWriter interview looks like.
Let's start with the basics. What product are you building and what problem does it solve?
A personal finance app that connects to bank accounts and shows monthly spending reports by category.
Great, a spending-insights tool. Who are the primary users? Are you targeting individuals, families, or small business owners?
Young professionals, ages 22-35, who want to get a handle on their spending habits.
Got it. I've captured the target audience. Now let me move into features. What are the top 3 things a user should be able to do?

Tips for great documentation
Get the most out of your interview with these quick pointers.
Be specific
Instead of "users can manage tasks", say "users can create, assign, and set due dates on tasks". Specificity makes the AI's output dramatically better.
Mention your users
Describe who your users are, what they care about, and where they struggle today. The more context you share, the more tailored the document becomes.
Include constraints
Budget, timeline, regulatory requirements, tech stack preferences: constraints shape the document into something realistic, not aspirational.
Don't overthink it
The AI will ask follow-ups. You don't need to have all the answers upfront. That's exactly what the interview process is designed for.
Choose the right template
Use Comprehensive for enterprise projects, Lean for MVPs, Technical for dev-heavy products, User Stories for agile sprints, MRD for marketing, BRD for business cases, FRD for functional specs, and SRS for formal compliance.
Iterate after generating
Your first document is a strong draft. Review it, note any gaps, then update your answers and regenerate for an even better result.
