Manan's notes

AI + Audio first draft tool

A product spec

Problem

  • It’s hard but worth it to write
  • Getting started is the hardest part.
  • AI isn’t good enough to write for you from a thought

Solution

  • AI interviews people, and you just talk.
  • AI helps structure it into an outline as you talk (but you control it)
  • When you’re done, AI uses your own words to generate a first draft

Design

  • First step: interview
    • You see a question, you talk or type and see your answer
    • You hit “next” when you’re done answering, and the AI keeps asking questions
    • You can keep going or say “we have what we need” and proceed to the next step
  • Second step: outline
    • AI uses the interview to generate an outline
    • You can easily re-arrange or edit it
    • You can prompt the AI to change it as well
    • When you’re happy you can proceed to the next step
  • Third step: draft
    • AI uses the transcript and the outline to generate a first draft for you, using as many of your own words as possible
    • Now you’ve got a first draft that’s well-structured and sounds like you

Possible problems

  • It’s hard to record a voice memo (feels weird talking to yourself)
