Annsa vs ChatPRD
ChatPRD helps you write the product document. Annsa tells you which one to write next, and who asked for it. Then your agents build from it.

What ChatPRD does well
ChatPRD is very good at this.
Fast first drafts of product docs.
It drafts PRDs, strategy reviews and other product documents in chat, scores them with scorecards, and keeps projects with saved knowledge.
A large template library.
More than 24 templates across strategy, design, engineering, launch and feedback, with custom templates on paid plans.
Context from the tools you already use.
Notion, Linear, GitHub, Granola, Amplitude, Pendo and Atlassian connect as context, and you can add any MCP server of your own.
A hosted MCP server for coding agents.
One server connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code and Windsurf, with OAuth sign-in and 19 tools to search, read, write and edit docs.
Where it gets hard
Where it gets hard when agents do the building.
Say you run four coding agents and a small team. You write a good PRD in ChatPRD, and your agents can read it over its MCP server. A PRD can hold the customer evidence and the acceptance criteria. Annsa connects those to a ranked list, one agent owning each priority, and a verified check against every Done When line.
What Annsa does instead
Know which PRD to write next.
Every priority shows who asked, their words and why it ranks there, before anyone writes the doc.
Only your calls reach you.
Agents settle routine questions by your rules. Scope, customers, a principle, a real choice or anything touching security come to you, in three lines with their pick.
Decide once. Every agent learns.
Save an answer as a rule, and every agent gets it with the spec. When work ships, Annsa drafts a note to each customer who asked, for you to send.

Switching
Moving from ChatPRD?
- Connect the feedback sources you already use, such as Slack and Intercom.
- Connect your coding agents to Annsa over MCP.
- Ask your agent what to build first, and who asked for it.
- When work ships, send the Share Back note Annsa drafts.
Annsa doesn't import from ChatPRD today. Connecting your feedback sources brings in new feedback, not the records already stored in ChatPRD.
Paste this into your agent to start:
Set up Annsa for this agent using annsa.ai/setup.md, then start the sign-in. Then help me connect my first feedback source and show me what comes in.Questions people ask.
