The intent layer between a feature and code

Describe a feature. Get a PRD the team can build from.

Users, workflow, scope, and what done looks like — written down before anyone codes. Read the PRD guide or continue into technical scope.

Users
PRD
Acceptance
The PRD names the users, the scope, and what done looks like.

Users

Defined clearly

Flows

Captured before engineering starts

Scope

Separated into v1 and later

Step 1

Business Need

Workflows, constraints, outcomes, stakeholder expectations.

Step 2

AI-Generated Specification

Structured requirements, acceptance criteria, edge cases — generated and validated by AI.

Step 3

Spec-Driven Code

Code grounded in a validated spec, not a freeform prompt.

Codalio PRD canvas: business and technical requirements from project requirements through AI architecture

A plan you can actually read.

Business requirements on one side, technical on the other — users, UX, design, market, scope, architecture, and what AI does. Written down before anyone codes.

Generate the PRD
Target audience personas from a Codalio PRD

Who it is for, named.

Personas with jobs, constraints, and what they need from the product — so the spec is not written for users in general.

Generate the PRD
User journeys from a Codalio PRD

The journey, not just the screens.

Each role’s path through the product is mapped before engineering starts filling in gaps.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Capture the feature

    Start from the feature in plain language: who it is for, and what done looks like.

  2. Step 2

    Turn the feature into a PRD

    Clarify users, workflow, release boundaries, and success criteria.

  3. Step 3

    Use the PRD as the bridge into scope

    The document should support estimation, sequencing, and the next build decision.

Generate the PRD
User stories, acceptance criteria, and tasks by role from a Codalio PRD

Stories, acceptance, and the work by role.

What done looks like, and the tasks UI, frontend, backend, QA, and systems actually pick up — attached to the PRD, not a vibe.

Generate the PRD
Clarifying questions generated while Codalio writes the PRD

Questions before it ships, not after.

The factory asks what a prompt would skip — so assumptions get written down instead of coded in.

Frequently asked questions

Coding assistants are calculators, not colleagues. They generate code from prompts; they don’t maintain a model of the business problem. Codalio writes the spec they should be coding against — that’s the missing layer.

A template gives you blank sections. Codalio gives you a structured document built from the feature you describe, with users, workflow, scope, and assumptions filled in and ready to refine.

The PRD is the planning step before technical scope. Codalio supports both, so the PRD feeds directly into a technical scope that engineering can act on.

Yes. The PRD is written to support engineering handoff, estimation, and sequencing, not just to satisfy a product manager checklist.
