What problem does it solve?
Office-hours helps you understand a product idea deeply before you build, by forcing clear demand, status quo, specific users, and a narrow wedge so you can write a high-signal design doc instead of drifting into code-first guessing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Manual-trigger YC-style brainstorming: You invoke it only when you type /office-hours, and it adapts to whether you’re starting a real venture or exploring a side project.
- Forcing-question discovery: It runs a structured sequence of questions (startup: demand, status quo, desperate specificity, wedge, surprise, future-fit; builder: delight, audience, fastest shareable path, differentiation, 10x additions).
- Design-document output: It saves a design doc that captures the decisions and sharpened direction.
Quick Start
Use /office-hours and describe your product idea or the thing you’re trying to think through, and ask it to produce a design doc for you.
