Ideaforge.chat: Don't prompt the AI. Let us interview you first.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I have a confession to make: I’m not a developer. Like many of you here, I’ve been blown away by the power of Cursor, Bolt, and Codex. But as a non-technical person, I quickly hit a wall: it wasn't that the AI couldn't code—it was that I didn't know how to describe what I actually wanted. I’d give a 1-sentence prompt, get a broken app, and then get stuck in a "bug-fixing loop" because I hadn't defined the logic, the database schema, or the edge cases properly. I had the vision, but I lacked the "Technical Grammar" to communicate it. I built IdeaForge.chat to solve my own problem—it acts as the "Technical Co-founder" or PM I didn't have. How it helps you build better: Interview-First Approach: Instead of struggling to write the perfect prompt, the tool interviews you to surface the details you didn't even know you needed (e.g., data relationships or error handling). Engineering-Ready Specs: It generates a structured Markdown document covering user personas, core flows, data models, and API drafts. One-Shot Success: The output is specifically designed to be pasted into AI coding agents like Cursor or Windsurf, significantly increasing the chance of getting functional code on the first try. A Special Gift for the PH Community: I’ve seen the feedback that $9.9 can feel high for a single spec. Since PH is all about supporting builders, I’ve created a special code: Use 'PHFRIEND' to get unlimited documents for just $4.9 each. I’m here all day to listen to your "brutally honest" feedback. To the experienced engineers out there: Does the output look like something you’d actually want to receive as a dev spec? Let’s turn those napkin sketches into real, functional MVPs!
