What you get

See the evidence behind your PRD.

Citations connect source-backed claims to evidence. Review flagged statements alongside source excerpts, and keep your own decisions and assumptions explicit.

1 Problem

Account leads at a small design studio arrange client meetings by hand over email. Each lead loses about two hours a week to this. Clients often decline invites that arrive without proposed times. kickoff-brief.pdf · p. 2

2 Context

The studio runs about twelve active client projects at a time. Most clients book through a single point of contact. studio-overview.pptx · slide 4

Illustrative example. The studio, people and figures are fictional; the layout is simplified from the app.

How it works

Create, review, revise. You decide what changes.

  1. 01

    Create

    Start from an instruction, your rough thinking and source material: PDF, Word, slides, spreadsheets, JPEG, Markdown or plain text. Use the default 13-section structure or one of your own reusable structures.

  2. 02

    Review

    Open a PRD you already have and check it against its sources. Uncertain statements are flagged “needs source review”, with the source excerpt alongside.

  3. 03

    Revise

    Ask for changes in conversation. Every AI change arrives as a proposal you accept or reject, with undo and full history.

Honest about what it couldn’t read
If an image or table in a source wasn’t read, PRD Genie tells you, so you know what the draft is missing.
Export when it’s ready
Markdown, Word or PDF for sharing, plus a portable project archive for keeping everything together.

Local-first and private

Your work stays on your Mac. AI is optional.

PRD Genie is a single-user app with no account and no signup. Editing, saving, history and export all work offline, without AI.

Nothing is sent until you say so.

Nothing leaves your Mac until you choose a provider and send an instruction. Before it does, the app shows exactly what will be sent and where.
