Generative AI has revolutionized how we do our jobs in just about every facet of software development, and product discovery is no different.

It has allowed us to automate time consuming processes, expand our creativity and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Yet, despite its rapid advancement, we are still just scratching the surface. AI's applications continue to evolve, offering new opportunities and capabilities that previously weren't possible.

In this guide, we'll cover five AI-powered product discovery tools that are pushing boundaries and reshaping the way we ideate, innovate and create in 2024. 

1. Archie: 8base's AI-Powered Product Architect

Archie is revolutionizing the way software development firms approach product discovery.

Developed by 8base, Archie is a tool that uses generative AI to streamline and enhance the entire product development process, helping you get from ideation to prototype to delivery even faster.

How Archie Works

Users input a simple prompt in natural language, describing the product they are hoping to create. Archie rapidly generates full requirements, specifications and designs in minutes — something that normally would take months.

Archie excels in creating detailed architectures, user interfaces and mid-fidelity designs, which can be further refined using traditional design tools.

How Archie Assists With Product Discovery

Archie is a powerful tool for product management, especially when writer's block strikes. By generating comprehensive product blueprints from simple prompts, Archie eliminates the frustration of starting from scratch.

It also enhances creativity by detecting gaps and suggesting improvements that you might not have considered, ensuring your project is connected to your customers' needs. Archie's product blueprints are thorough, helping you overcome one of the biggest challenges in software development: poor specifications and designs.

Archie helps product managers see around corners by identifying compliance, security and other critical concerns, even those outside your expertise

Because it works with simple, natural language prompts, Archie enables non-technical team members to take part in the product discovery process. You can even chat with your project to explore and validate different product ideas.

And once you're ready to start building? Archie can take care of the story mapping.
