How it works

Simple to use, powerful underneath. Like having a senior business analyst ask the right questions.

1

Describe your idea

Start with whatever you have — even a single sentence. We detect your app type and load relevant questions.

2

Answer questions

202 questions across 16 categories. You only see what's relevant. Skip what you don't know.

3

Get complete clarity

Spec, user stories, AI prompts — plus what was assumed and what still needs answers.

We surface what you're unknowingly assuming

Other tools document what you tell them. We reveal the hidden assumptions you didn't know you were making — the ones that become scope creep and budget overruns.

Other tools
  • Document what you already know
  • Hope you asked the right questions
  • Surface problems mid-project
IdeaSpec
  • Ask questions you didn't know to ask
  • Surface assumptions before they cost you
  • Identify risks at the start
