Generate hundreds of ideas from a prompt: "Analyze the structure and themes of these SaaS ideas. Generate 50 new ideas that follow the same pattern: a tool that performs a [specific job] for a [specific person] in a [specific industry]. Focus on underserved or niche markets." ___ 2. Generating incredible PRDs (Build a SaaS on Auto-Pilot) "Act as a senior product manager. I am building a SaaS application that [describe the core function, e.g., 'helps freelance graphic designers track their project hours and generate invoices automatically']. Generate a comprehensive PRD of at least 2,000 words. The document must include detailed sections for: User Personas (the freelance designer), Core Features (including user registration/login, a project dashboard, time-tracking functionality, invoice generation, and Stripe integration for payments), UI/UX Principles (e.g., 'clean, minimalist, and intuitive'), and a list of necessary API calls and database schema (e.g., tables for 'users', 'projects', 'time_entries', 'invoices')." ___ 3. Building a Back-End Setup WITHOUT CODING "Set up and integrate a Supabase backend for this application. Implement user authentication using email/password and Google OAuth. Create the PostgreSQL database tables exactly as defined in the PRD. Configure the application to handle payments via Stripe." The AI will then generate the necessary client-side code to interact with Supabase's APIs and provide the SQL commands to create the database tables, which can be pasted directly into the Supabase SQL editor.c
