The AI-First MVP Feature Brief
Stop overbuilding. This template forces ruthless focus on the one problem, one solution, and one metric that truly matter for validating your AI startup idea.
1. The Problem Statement
What is the single, "hair-on-fire" problem your target customer faces? Be specific and focus on the pain.
2. The Core AI Solution
In one sentence, how does AI uniquely and powerfully solve this problem? This is your "magic" moment.
3. The Key User Action
What is the single most important action a user must take to experience the core value of your solution?
4. The Success Metric
What one, measurable KPI will prove your MVP is working? This should be a leading indicator of retention and value.
5. The "Non-Goals" List (Most Important Section)
What will you explicitly NOT build for this MVP? Being disciplined here is the key to launching fast.
