Auto-document

PRDs that stay with the build

Generate, review in Docs, pull edits back.

The category

Docs that drift from the build waste review. Arvad generates PRD, tech design, and architecture from the same workspace work, round-trips Google Docs comments, and keeps one source driving generation.

PRD, tech design, and architecture from meetings, tickets, and code in the workspace.
One click to Google Docs. Stakeholders comment with native suggested edits.
Every comment becomes a tracked item; accepted edits reconcile into the source spec.
Named sign-off advances linked tickets. The build starts on dated approval.

The gap

Docs are where shipping quietly slows

Specs matter, but keeping them current loses to shipping. The build runs from Slack; the cost shows up on the next handoff.

3×

Same doc in three tools

PRD in Notion, tech design in Confluence, architecture in Docs.

Hours

Hours per spec to write and rewrite

Mornings spent turning Slack and Loom into a PRD that is stale by lunch.

Lost

Comments that never reach the build

Stakeholders comment in Docs; engineering builds from a PR description.

Few tools close the doc–build loop

Round-trip review with people outside the repo is rare.

Three docs. One source.

Uses your PRD, tech design, and architecture templates. Generates from conversation, code, and context you already have.

PRD generation

From a brief, meeting, or thread: problem, vision, personas, metrics, scope, non-goals, open questions.

Stays in the workspace with plan and checks

Tech design

Tech requirements, component architecture, data flow, API surface, risks, referenced against your modules.

Stays in the workspace with plan and checks

Architecture design

System view: services, dependencies, stores, SLAs. Mermaid and PNG diagrams, versioned with the doc.

Stays in the workspace with plan and checks

Push to Google Docs

One click to a Google Doc. Comments and suggested edits work natively.

Comments & edits flow back

Every comment becomes a tracked item. Accepted edits sync into the source spec.

Sign-off as a state

Named, dated sign-off advances linked tickets before the build starts.

Stays in the workspace with plan and checks

Auto-update from the build

When API or schema changes, Arvad flags the matching spec section and proposes the edit.

Permission-aware

External stakeholders see their slice. Internal architecture stays internal.

Auto-document vs AI doc writers

Generic AI doc writersArvad auto-document

Arvad sits where the thread keeps the plan, staging, spend, and checks.

Capability	Generic AI doc writers	Arvad auto-document
Input	A prompt	Meetings, code, threads, tickets
Format	Markdown blob	PRD, tech design, architecture templates
Review surface	PDF or markdown	Google Doc with comments
Comments back	Manual copy-paste	Synced into the source
Sign-off	Slack thumbs-up	Named, dated, logged
Stays current	No	Build changes flag stale sections
Audience views	One	Internal vs client, permissioned

4–6h

Hours saved per mid-size feature

Writing collapses into review of a generated draft.

Comments become tracked items

No silent Docs comments.

One source drives the build

Other tools stay readable; one place starts engineering.

0

Stakeholders stay in Docs

They comment in Google Docs while you stay in code.

Straight answers

Limits stated plainly. No demo theater.

One question

When the build finishes, can you show a teammate the plan, preview, tests, and deploy status without digging through chat?

If you cannot, you still have a chat log. Arvad keeps that work in one workspace.

Keep exploring

Build from description

Start from an idea in plain English.

Experimentation

Run experiments your eng lead can approve.

Integrations

Connect the tools you already use.

Write docs once. Keep them driving the build.

Stakeholders comment in Docs. Generation stays in the same workspace as the build.
