Interview Context
Command: $concept-exploration formforge
Input argument: formforge
Repo context used:
README.mddesk-flip-report.mdtasks/todo.mdtasks/history.mdtasks/manual-todo.md
No .agents/project.json, research/, or specs/ directory existed at the start of the concept exploration.
Assumptions Manifest Presented
- Concept summary: FormForge is an AI-assisted form builder where a user describes the form they need, gets a draft form, edits it visually, publishes a public link, collects submissions, and reviews or exports responses.
- Problem hypothesis: lightweight form creation still takes too much manual setup for individuals and small teams, especially when they need validation, logic, polish, and response handling without adopting an enterprise form platform.
- Beneficiary hypothesis: individuals and small teams who need professional forms quickly.
- Product/category guess: AI-assisted productivity/SaaS tool in the form builder and lightweight data collection category.
- Value wedge: natural-language form generation plus a practical edit-publish-response loop, with accessibility, immutable published snapshots, exports, clear errors, and consent handling treated as product quality from the start.
- Constraints: prototype-first fresh start; do not carry forward old code/schema/infrastructure; defer Stripe, teams, API access, webhooks, durable file storage, provider integrations, and full i18n until the core loop is validated.
- Non-goals: no ICP selection, competitor research, UX spec, UI design, architecture, billing implementation, or integration planning during this concept step.
- Riskiest unknowns: who cares most, what form use case is urgent enough, whether AI generation is the real differentiator, how much editing is acceptable after generation, and what "professional enough" means for the first user segment.
User Confirmation
The user confirmed the assumptions with: "looks reasonable".
Concept Boundary Decisions
- Keep the concept broad enough for ICP discovery: "individuals and small teams" remains the beneficiary hypothesis.
- Do not narrow to a specific buyer, industry, or use case during concept exploration.
- Do not rebuild from the old codebase.
- Treat billing, teams, API access, webhooks, durable file storage, provider integrations, and full i18n as deferred until the core loop is validated.
Ready For Next Step
The concept is ready for business discovery tooling and ICP exploration. The recommended next command is $pack install business-discovery.
