Rico
From scattered context to build intent

Your engineers ship in hours. Discovery still takes weeks.

Rico connects your customer interviews, usage data, Slack threads, and backlog — and turns them into build intent your team can actually act on.

The problem

The bottleneck moved. It's now you.

AI coding tools made your engineers terrifyingly fast. But discovery? Still scattered, still manual, still the reason things get built wrong.

Context lives everywhere
User interviews in one place. Jira in another. Slack threads somewhere else. Usage data in a dashboard no one checks. None of it connects — so decisions get made on whoever spoke last.
Discovery resets every sprint
Everything you learned last quarter lives in someone's memory. Each new feature starts from scratch — rereading old docs, re-asking the same questions, re-justifying the same priorities.
Specs that can't be acted on
The output of all that work is still a static doc. Engineers interpret it differently. Edge cases get missed. And an AI coding agent can't reason over it at all.

How Rico works

From messy context to clear build intent.

Rico sits between your scattered product reality and the moment an engineer starts writing code. Three steps. One connected system.

Capture

Drop everything in

Customer interviews, support tickets, usage data, Slack threads, backlog items. Rico ingests raw, messy, unstructured input — exactly as it exists today.

Synthesize

Surface what matters

Rico finds the signal. It resolves contradictions, identifies what users actually need, and maps the decision points — so you stop second-guessing and start deciding.

Ship

A spec that's actually usable

Get output structured around build intent — with edge cases, assumptions, and acceptance criteria baked in. Clear enough that an engineer can start without a meeting.

Features

Every part built for how PMs actually work.

Not generic productivity tools. Purpose-built for the discovery-to-decision loop.

Cross-source synthesis
Rico reads across all your inputs simultaneously — finding the common thread, flagging contradictions, and collapsing weeks of desk research into a single coherent view.
Build-intent specs
Outputs aren't templates. They're structured around what needs to be built, why, and what success looks like — specific enough that a coding agent can reason over them directly.
Persistent product memory
Every decision, every trade-off, every rationale stays in Rico. Discovery compounds instead of resetting. Your next sprint starts where the last one ended.
