How do you turn an AI product idea into a feature plan?

A feature plan connects the problem you want to solve with work you can implement. Start with a person and an outcome rather than a list of impressive AI capabilities.

Describe the smallest useful journey

For a narrated-video example, the journey could be brief submission, script review, generation, and download. Write the user action and expected response at each step. This exposes missing needs such as saved drafts and visible generation status. Treat this as an example workflow, not a fixed specification for every project.

Turn steps into deliverables

Create a feature for each meaningful capability and attach a completion check. “Script editor” becomes “The creator can edit a draft, save it, and recover it after reload.” Identify dependencies, such as needing a saved project before attaching a generated file. Keep optional styles and additional publishing destinations outside the initial milestone. Review the plan by walking through one realistic brief and asking whether the creator can finish without a manual workaround.
