Product brief

Laundry delivery MVP

PRD

Problem

Customers and riders coordinate pickups in chat. The first version needs scheduling, tracking, and payment.

In scope

  • 01Request a pickup
  • 02Track the rider
  • 03Pay in the app

Build plan

Phase 1 · 3 weeks

Auth, orders, and payments. Admin tools wait.

What goes wrong when you build first

Code before a spec

You start building while the user, the outcome, and the non-goals are still a guess.

Scope that will not ship

The first version tries to do everything, so it never does the one job that matters.

A stack chosen too early

Tools get picked before anyone has written what the product has to do.

How it works

From an idea to a plan you can build.

01

Describe the idea

Write the product in plain language. A few sentences is enough to start.

02

Answer a few questions

Platform, users, integrations, and timeline — the choices that change the plan.

03

Get a PRD and build plan

Scope, stories, requirements, technical notes, and milestones you can hand to a builder.

Features

Everything you need before the first commit.

PRD in one pass

Problem, users, scope, and non-goals in a document you can share.

User stories

The jobs the first version must do, written so a builder can start.

Success metrics

What would prove the product works, before you instrument anything.

Technical plan

Constraints, integrations, and risks tied to the scope you just wrote.

Milestones

A phased build plan: what ships first, and what waits.

Export

Markdown on the free plan. Links and PDF when you need to send it.

"I stopped starting in the editor. The brief made the scope obvious."

FAQ

Questions founders ask about FounderBrief

Straight answers about the PRD, who it is for, and how pricing works.

What is FounderBrief?

FounderBrief is an AI PRD and build-plan generator. You describe a startup idea and get a product requirements document — problem, users, scope, user stories, requirements, technical constraints, and milestones — before anyone writes code.

Who is FounderBrief for?

FounderBrief is for founders who need to know what they are building and how they will make it. Non-technical founders use it to brief a developer. Technical founders use it to lock scope before the first commit.

What is in a FounderBrief PRD?

A generated PRD includes a short summary, goals and non-goals, user stories, functional requirements, the core experience, success metrics, technical considerations, and a phased build plan with a complexity and budget range.

Is the first PRD free?

Yes. Generate your first PRD free — one full generation, no credit card. Paid plans are $18/month, or $15/month when billed annually, for unlimited generations plus shareable links and PDF export.

Does FounderBrief store my ideas on its servers?

Brief content is designed to stay on your device. Account details like email and name are stored to operate the service. When you generate a PRD, prompts are processed via Google Gemini through our API and are not permanently stored afterward.

Know the product before you write it.

Generate a PRD and a build plan from the idea you already have.
