Generate Your First Document

This tutorial walks you through creating your first document with Fabric AI. In about 10 minutes, you'll go from a rough idea to a polished PRD.

What You'll Create

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have:

• Created a workspace with reference documents
• Started a conversation with the Document Generator agent
• Generated a complete PRD (Product Requirements Document)
• Learned how to refine and export your document

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

• ✅ A Fabric AI account (sign up here)
• ✅ An AI provider configured (see AI Configuration)
• ✅ 10 minutes of time

Step 1: Prepare Your Context (Optional)

If you have existing documents you want the AI to reference, start by creating a workspace:

Step 2: Start a Project

Step 3: Generate Your Document

Now for the fun part—let's generate a PRD!

Create a PRD for a user notification preferences feature.

The feature should allow users to:
- Choose which types of notifications they receive
- Select their preferred notification channels (email, push, SMS)
- Set quiet hours when they don't want to be disturbed
- Customize notification frequency (immediate, daily digest, weekly)

Target users: Both free and premium users
Platform: Web and mobile apps

Step 4: Review and Refine

Your PRD is generated! Now let's make it perfect.

Understanding the Output

The generated PRD typically includes:

• Executive Summary — High-level overview
• Problem Statement — Why this feature is needed
• Goals & Objectives — What success looks like
• User Stories — As a/I want/So that format
• Requirements — Functional and non-functional
• Success Metrics — How to measure success
• Timeline — Suggested phases

Making Changes

You have several options:

Option 1: Chat with the Agent

Ask for specific changes:

"Add a section about security considerations"

"Expand the user stories section with more edge cases"

"Make the timeline more aggressive - we need this in 6 weeks"

Option 2: Edit Directly

Click into the document and edit like any text editor:

• Add or remove sections
• Rewrite specific paragraphs
• Fix typos or formatting

Option 3: Accept/Reject Changes

When the AI suggests changes:

• Accept — Apply the changes
• Reject — Keep your original
• Accept with modifications — Use as a starting point

Step 5: Export Your Document

Once you're happy with your PRD:

Tips for Better Results

Be Specific

❌ "Create a PRD for notifications"

✅ "Create a PRD for a notification preferences feature that lets
   users control email, push, and SMS notifications separately,
   with quiet hours and frequency settings"

Provide Context

The more context you provide, the better the output:

• Attach relevant workspaces
• Mention existing constraints
• Reference similar features
• Specify target users

Use Follow-ups

Don't try to get everything perfect in one request:

First: "Create a PRD for user notifications"
Then:  "Add more detail to the mobile app requirements"
Then:  "Include API specifications for the backend team"

Iterate

Your first draft is just the beginning. The best PRDs come from:

1. Generating an initial draft
2. Reviewing with your team
3. Refining based on feedback
4. Updating as you learn more

What's Next?

Now that you've created your first document, try these:

Troubleshooting

"The output doesn't match what I wanted"

• Be more specific in your request
• Attach more context documents
• Break your request into smaller parts
• Try a different document type

"The document is too short/long"

Ask for adjustments:

• "Expand the requirements section with more detail"
• "Summarize this into a one-page executive summary"

"The AI made assumptions I don't agree with"

Clarify in follow-ups:

• "Actually, we don't support mobile yet—update for web only"
• "We're targeting enterprise users, not consumers"
