Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Nico, co-founder of BrainGrid. Tyler and I (ex-Twilio) have been building software for the last 25 years, across startups, enterprise teams, and everything in between. We've seen every era of the stack. This one is different.
AI coding tools changed everything. Domain experts, creators, and founders with no engineering background are now shipping real applications. That's extraordinary.
But the bottleneck moved. Writing code is no longer the constraint. Planning is.
A vague prompt produces a fragile app. A clear, structured spec produces software that works. In traditional teams, that thinking is done by a Product Manager. In this new era, that role doesn't exist for most builders. So they get stuck.
BrainGrid is the AI Product Planner, the missing layer between your idea and what your coding agent actually builds.
Here's what we're shipping today:
- AI Product Planner. Turn messy ideas into structured epics, fully specified requirements, and engineering-grade prompts. Readiness scoring tells you exactly what's ready to build and what still needs thinking. Dependencies surface blockers before they slow you down.
- Designs. See what you're building before you build it. Describe what you want, get a real design (not generic AI output), iterate by chatting or annotating, and hand your coding agent both the spec and the visual reference. Frontend rework cycles drop dramatically.
We've already helped over 2,000 builders ship real AI-native SaaS products with paying customers. Not prototypes. Shipped products.
A few stories that keep us going:
Saymon, a senior engineer in Brazil, cut a two-day planning session to 30 minutes. The feature shipped in two weeks instead of four, and his client used it for an event that generated $1M in revenue.
Kaleen, a mechanical engineer and Pilates instructor, broke her app trying to add a feature. After days of spinning, she started fresh with BrainGrid and had it working immediately. She's now onboarded her first paying studio owner.
Audris came from a marketing background. In three months he went from no engineering experience to a live app with OAuth, cross-device sync, shared focus sessions, and full Google Calendar integration.
The pattern is always the same. AI coding tools are powerful. BrainGrid makes them productive.
We'd love your feedback on the product, the positioning, anything. We read every comment.
Let's build what wasn't possible before. 🚀
