What are the best AI tools to turn an idea into MVP?

What are the best AI tools out there that can help take a product idea and refine it to get it to an MVP?

Not the coding part, but all the other stuff, like creating a business plan, validating the idea, identifying target market and customer pain points, building a PRD and user stories, etc.

If you've got access to chatgpt o1 pro, which carries a Massive compute - you can ingest a SHIT LOAD of public data to get this. I'm releasing a lead magnet that has most of this information on my twitter here in a day or so, @makershelpdesk

Lead cannot be magnetized, it doesn't have unpaired electrons

I actually made a website just to solve this process for myself, check it out here: https://www.aideahub.ai/ I also made a custom GPT which works alright, not as visual though https://chatgpt.com/g/g-67eef6b5ad64819189be9348b5bb4c7d-co-...

Currently using Gemini 2.5. I've tried ChatGPT and DeepSeek, but neither could effectively help me refine my ideas.

No single tool can do all of that for you. "Validating the idea" involves so much work that it's hilarious you expect an LLM tool to be able to validate an idea for you.

Check out http://userdoc.fyi - helps build out super detailed requirements, user personas, and user journeys with AI

is there anything super differentiating to this tool other than a nice UX on top of claude/chatgpt? don't get me wrong, this certainly has its merits/use cases, but like OP, i'm actually also looking for a tool that is a bit more interesting/advanced than nice CRUD on top of prompt engineering because I know how to write good prompts and am more than happy to use claude's tool to get stories/acceptance criteria written for me into csv format that I can drop into linear or something.

my more advanced use case would be an actual thought partner/cofounder that can go out and do laborious things like agentic researching through reddit, thinking through next steps on what we should work or even pivoting based on given market trends/conditions. i don't think anything like this exists that is actually good

Userdoc is primarily around building and maintaining software requirements, so we don't do competitor research, or watch market trends etc.

But we can import any info you already have (documents etc), and have an interactive wizard to break it down into features (stories, epics, NFRs, test cases, personas, journeys) then create detailed acceptance criteria for each feature.

We can also take existing source code, and reverse engineer that into detailed documentation.
