Building PMPrompt - AI-Powered Product Management Tools
November 25, 2024
projectsI recently launched PMPrompt, a curated collection of AI prompts for product managers. The goal is simple - help PMs save time and be more effective by leveraging AI in their daily workflow.
Why Build PMPrompt?
As a product manager, I found myself repeatedly writing similar documents - PRDs, user stories, release notes, etc. While there are plenty of templates out there, I wanted something more dynamic that could adapt to different contexts while maintaining consistency.
Enter AI. With the right prompts, AI can help generate first drafts of these documents in seconds rather than hours. But crafting effective prompts is an art in itself. That's where PMPrompt comes in - providing battle-tested prompts for common PM tasks.
Key Features
The core of PMPrompt is the prompt library, with tools like:
- PRD Generator - Create structured product requirements documents
- User Story Generator - Generate detailed user stories with acceptance criteria
- Release Notes Writer
- Customer Interview Analyzer
- Competitive Analysis Framework
Each prompt is designed to produce output that follows best practices while being customizable to your specific needs.
The Tech Stack
I built PMPrompt using my go-to modern Laravel stack:
- Laravel 11 for the backend
- Livewire for reactive components and tools
- TailwindCSS for styling
- SQLite for the database (keeping it simple)
- Deployed on Digital Ocean
The stack choice was deliberate - I wanted something I could iterate on quickly while maintaining flexibility for future features. Laravel's ecosystem makes it easy to add authentication, handle payments via Stripe, and manage user data.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. I'm continuously adding new prompts based on feedback from the PM community. Some features in the pipeline:
- Custom prompt builder
- Team collaboration
- Integration with common PM tools
- Analytics on prompt effectiveness
Try It Out
If you're a product manager looking to streamline your workflow, check out PMPrompt. The basic prompts are free to use, and I'd love to hear your feedback on what other tools would be helpful.
Building PMPrompt has been a fun side project that scratches my own itch as a PM while hopefully helping others in the process. It's a great example of how AI can augment (not replace) product management work.

🏗️ JSONL Tools
I am working on a set of tools to help me work with JSONL. JSONL is a simple format for working with JSON data. I am working on a set of tools to help me work with JSONL data. I will use these tools to help me work with my own data as well as help me build my own APIs. One of the tools I am developing is a JSONL Validator to ensure the integrity and structure of JSONL data. Read more about this project in my blog post about building JSONL Tools.

📠 Fax Online
Yea, I know. But there is a long tail for everything and believe it or not there was an underserved market for people that need to send a fax online. Some people (like me!) just need to send a one time fax.
