Multi-Agent PRD Generator

A sophisticated tool that generates research-backed Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) using multiple AI agents coordinating through a shared state object. Built with the ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) framework.

πŸŽ‰ Day 4 Complete!

Five agents are live with full competitive intelligence pipeline! Here's what's working:

  • βœ… ClarificationAgent - Extracts structured metadata from product ideas
  • βœ… PlannerAgent - Generates 15-20 domain-specific research queries
  • βœ… ResearcherAgent - Executes queries and collects 50-80 evidence sources
  • βœ… PainPointsAgent - LLM-based pain point extraction and clustering
  • βœ… CompetitorsAgent - Competitive landscape analysis with gap identification
  • βœ… Web Search - Tavily API integration with caching
  • βœ… Content Extraction - Jina Reader for clean markdown content
  • βœ… Credibility Scoring - Domain, recency, and content quality signals
  • βœ… Evidence Deduplication - MD5 + SimHash hybrid approach
  • βœ… DAG Orchestrator - Manages task dependencies and agent sequencing
  • βœ… Test Suite - 266+ passing tests
  • ⏳ PRDWriterAgent - Coming in Day 5

Overview

This tool transforms a simple product idea into a comprehensive PRD by:

  • βœ… Clarifying ambiguous requirements through intelligent metadata extraction
  • βœ… Planning targeted research with domain-specific queries and competitor analysis
  • βœ… Conducting web research to gather 50-80 evidence sources per run
  • βœ… Scoring source credibility based on domain, recency, and content quality
  • βœ… Analyzing pain points with LLM-based semantic clustering (6-12 clusters per run)
  • βœ… Mapping competitive landscape with 5-10 competitors and opportunity gaps
  • ⏳ Synthesizing findings into a well-structured PRD with citations (Day 5)

Features

  • Multi-Agent Architecture: Specialized agents work together to handle different aspects of PRD generation
  • ReAct Framework: Each agent uses a Think-Act-Observe-Update-Reflect loop for intelligent decision-making
  • Research-Backed: All claims in the PRD are backed by web research with proper citations
  • Stateful & Resumable: Complete execution state is persisted, allowing runs to be paused and resumed
  • Production-Ready: Comprehensive error handling, logging, retry logic, and type safety
  • Rich CLI: Beautiful command-line interface with progress tracking and formatted output

βœ… Research Execution (Day 3)

  • Web Search: Tavily API integration (1,000 free searches/month)
  • Content Extraction: Jina Reader for clean markdown from any URL
  • 50-80 sources collected per product idea
  • Source Credibility Scoring:
    • Domain reputation (high: .gov, .edu, official docs)
    • Recency (newer content weighted higher)
    • Content quality signals (statistics, research, depth)
  • Evidence Typing: article, forum, review, pricing, docs
  • Automatic Deduplication: MD5 + SimHash for exact and near-duplicate detection
  • Smart Caching: 24hr TTL to minimize API calls

βœ… Pain Point Analysis (New in Day 4)

  • LLM-based extraction from forums and reviews
  • Semantic clustering of similar pain points (not keyword matching)
  • Structured format: who, what, why, severity, frequency
  • 6-12 pain point clusters per product idea
  • Evidence linking with direct quotes from sources
  • Severity ranking: high/medium/low based on frequency and impact

βœ… Competitive Analysis (New in Day 4)

  • Automated competitor identification from evidence
  • Feature extraction (5-7 key features per competitor)
  • Positioning and ICP identification
  • Pricing model analysis (freemium, subscription, per-user, etc.)
  • Strengths and weaknesses assessment
  • 5-10 competitors analyzed per run
  • Opportunity gap identification (what competitors collectively miss)
  • Market insights generation

Resume an Existing Run

python -m app.main --resume <run-id>

List All Runs

python -m app.main --list

State Schema

The system uses a comprehensive state schema that tracks all aspects of PRD generation:

State {
    run_id: str                    # Unique run identifier
    created_at: str                # ISO timestamp
    status: "running|blocked|done" # Current status

    metadata: {
        raw_idea: str              # Original product idea
        domain: str                # Product domain
        industry_tags: [str]       # Industry classifications
        target_user: str           # Target audience
        geography: str             # Geographic focus
        compliance_contexts: [str] # Regulatory requirements
        prd_style: str            # Output format preference
        clarification_status: str  # Clarification state
    }

    research_plan: {
        queries: [Query]           # Research queries to execute
    }

    evidence: [Evidence]           # Collected research evidence
    insights: {
        pain_points: [PainPoint]   # Identified pain points
        competitors: [Competitor]  # Competitor analysis
        workflows: [Workflow]      # User workflows
    }

    prd: {
        sections: {}               # PRD content sections
        notion_markdown: str       # Formatted output
        citation_map: {}           # Evidence citations
    }

    task_board: [Task]            # Agent task management
    agent_trace: [AgentTraceEntry] # Execution history
}

Agent Development

Creating a New Agent

  1. Create a new file in agents/:
from agents.base_agent import BaseAgent
from app.state import State

class MyAgent(BaseAgent):
    def run(self, state: State) -> State:
        # 1. Think: Analyze state
        analysis = self._think(state)

        if not analysis["should_act"]:
            return state

        # 2. Act: Call LLM
        prompt = self._load_prompt()
        messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
        response = self._call_llm(messages)

        # 3. Observe: Parse response
        observations = self._observe(response)

        # 4. Update: Modify state
        state = self._update_state(state, observations)

        # 5. Reflect: Log action
        self._log_action(state, "Completed my task")

        return state
  1. Create a prompt template in agents/prompts/my_agent.txt

  2. Register the agent in app/main.py:

from agents.my_agent import MyAgent

orchestrator.register_agent(MyAgent("my_agent", client))
