Plan App Ideas With ChatGPT Make an interactive prototype for a roommates app that splits bills and tracks expenses It's coding Time To Collab orate Act as a business strategist arguing with me and my assumptions about this product with single, sequential questions until the concept is ready to build for real. After I've answered all questions, turn that into a PRD Whats a PRD??? Who's this actually for? What is meaningfully better (not just "cleaner UI") What behavior changes because your product exists What moment makes someone switch or invite roommate Answer that, then we'll go deeper. What makes it different? How will it handle disputes? If you don't handle this cleanly, your "instant clarity" become "constant doubt." You're right, we will need to integrate with 3rd party bank apps then that will allow us to read bank transactions from all users in the group and auto log what's happened. Also would be really nice for the "admin" of the group to be automatically notified "Chris just paid you back!" That is a dangerous assumption. You're treating bank-linked auto-detection as if it gives you trust. It does not. It gives you transaction visibility, which is not the same thing as correct attribution. Here's the problem: Question 13: Is bank linking a required part of the MVP, or is it a trust-enhancing layer after the core product proves itself? Pick one: • A: Required for MVP, because trust is the product • B: Post-MVP layer, because speed of adoption matters first Post-MVP layer. But how might we add more trust mechanics so everyone agrees? Maybe all users can mark things as paid, not just the admin. That would allow for real life discussion as needed, auto notifications when someone marks something paid, but also help field sticky communication when disagreements Question 14: When two people disagree (e.g. Chris says "I paid", you say "didn't"), what does your app do? Pick a clear system behavior: • A: Last write wins → whoever marks it last defines reality (fast, but chaotic) • B: Explicit conflict state → shows "Disputed: Chris marked paid, Nolan hasn't I've added pictures of my messy notes for what I want this to look like. Use them for style decisions Key Improvements You Should Make (based on your sketch) 1. Split the top into 2 clear modes • "you owe" • "you are owed" This is a big deal. Right now your product is: "what others owe you" But in reality users think: "am I good or do I owe?" Fix: Make an interactive prototype of a roommates app that settles shared expenses
