The tool
.jpg)
Inputs:
- Problem statement (free text): what problem are you solving and for whom
- Target audience (free text): the user or segment
- Goals (free text, repeatable): what success looks like
- Constraints (free text, optional): tech, timeline, scope limits
- Feature name (short text)
Output: A structured PRD with these sections, ready to copy or export:
- Overview and problem statement
- Target audience
- Goals and success metrics
- Scope (in scope / out of scope)
- User stories
- Functional requirements
- Non-functional requirements
- Edge cases and states to consider
- Open questions
Behavior: Generates instantly in-browser, no login. Output is editable inline and copyable as Markdown. Distinct from Figr's product features, which require sign-up.
The blank page is where features stall
Most PMs do not struggle to think about the feature. They struggle to start writing it down. The cursor blinks in an empty doc, the Slack threads and half-formed requirements are scattered across five places, and the PRD that should take an hour takes a morning. So it gets rushed, or skipped, and the gaps surface later as rework.
A template fixes the smaller half of that problem: it gives you the structure so you are filling sections instead of inventing them. This tool does that in seconds, from a few plain-language inputs. If you want the longer write-up on getting a PRD right, the guide on how to write a PRD and a worked product requirements document example go deeper than a generator can. What no template can do is carry that requirement into a design that fits your product. That gap is the more expensive one, and it is worth being honest about where it sits.
How it works
- Describe the problem. Enter what you are solving, who it is for, and the goals that matter. Plain language is fine.
- Add constraints. Note any tech, timeline, or scope limits so the output stays realistic instead of aspirational.
- Generate the PRD. The tool structures your inputs into a complete, sectioned document, including the edge cases most first drafts forget.
- Edit and share. Refine the draft, then copy it into your doc tool or hand it to your team.
A worked example
Say you are adding bulk actions to a B2B dashboard. You type the problem (admins manage users one at a time and it is slow at scale), the audience (workspace admins on large teams), and the goal (cut time to deactivate ten users by eighty percent).
A blank doc would give you the happy path: a checkbox column and a bulk button. The generated PRD pushes further, prompting the sections that get missed: what happens when an admin selects two hundred rows, what the partial-failure state looks like when three of ten actions fail, what permission rules gate the action, and how the empty and loading states behave. Those are the requirements that decide whether the feature feels finished or broken. The piece on 10 edge cases every PM misses makes the case for why those states are worth the attention, and they are exactly the ones a rushed PRD leaves out.
Where this tool ends and Figr begins
A PRD describes what to build. It does not design it, and the handoff from a written requirement to a real screen is where context usually leaks. The doc says "partial-failure state," and three weeks later someone designs a generic error toast that ignores your design system and your existing patterns.
Figr is built for that gap. It is an AI product designer that reads your actual product, your screens, flows, design system, and docs, through the Visual Context Graph, then reasons through the UX and produces Figma-ready design that fits what you already run. One PM's account of going from PRD to prototype in two hours shows the sequence in practice. So the PRD you write here does not stop at words. It becomes on-system screens, with the edge cases reasoned through rather than rediscovered in QA. That sequence, product context to UX reasoning to Figma-ready design, is the whole point of Figr, and it is why a PRD is a starting line for it, not an output.
Build the rest of the spec
A PRD is one artifact in a set. Pair this with the user story generator to turn requirements into backlog-ready stories, the acceptance criteria generator to make each one testable, and the edge case generator to map the states before design starts. All of them are free, and all of them sit upstream of the design work Figr does.
Who this is for
This tool is most useful if you are a product manager speccing features on a real, existing product, the kind with a design system, established flows, and edge cases that matter. That is also where Figr is strongest; the note on why generic AI outputs cost PMs and the overview of Figr for product managers cover why context beats a blank prompt. If you are weighing AI tools for that whole workflow, the Figr vs UX Pilot comparison covers how context-aware design differs from prompt-based generation. The product managers solution page covers the role in depth.
What this tool is not
It is not a replacement for thinking through the problem, and it will not turn a vague idea into a good feature. A PRD built on a shallow problem statement is a tidy version of a shallow plan. It is also not a Figr product feature: it is a free, standalone writing aid with no sign-up. Figr the product, the part that designs from your context, is where the account and the real workflow live.
FAQ
Is the PRD template generator free?
Yes. It is free to use with no sign-up. Figr's product features require an account, but this tool does not.
What is a PRD?
A product requirements document. It captures the problem, audience, goals, scope, and requirements for a feature so the team builds the right thing instead of guessing.
Can I edit the generated PRD?
Yes. The output is a starting structure. Edit it inline, then copy it into your own doc tool.
What should a PRD include?
At minimum: problem statement, target audience, goals and success metrics, scope, user stories, functional requirements, and the edge cases to handle. This tool produces all of these.
Does the PRD include edge cases?
Yes. It prompts the states most first drafts skip, empty, error, partial failure, and permission cases, because those are where features quietly break.
How is this different from Figr the product?
This is a free, standalone writing tool. Figr the product is an AI product designer that reads your product context and turns it into UX decisions and Figma-ready design. The PRD you write here is a natural starting point for that design work.
