## Narrative
Imagine Claire, a PM at ChatPRD, just finished interviewing users about potential new features. Instead of spending hours reviewing recordings, she simply uploads them into ChatPRD. The system then automatically extracts and presents insights such as recurring themes and sought-after features. Claire can easily prioritize these features in her roadmap and add rich, user-derived context to her PRDs. This process not only saves time but ensures that the products being built are exactly what the customers need.
## Success Metrics
- **User Engagement:** Measure the frequency and volume of recordings uploaded.
- **Feature Utilization:** Track the number of PMs actively using the insights for feature prioritization.
- **User Satisfaction:** User feedback scores on the utility of synthesized insights for building PRDs.
- **Efficiency:** Reduction in time taken to build feature-prioritized roadmaps and PRDs.
## Technical Considerations
- **Data Storage:** Adequate storage capacity to hold large audio/video files.
- **Processing Power:** Sufficient computational resources to transcribe and analyze recordings swiftly.
- **Privacy and Compliance:** Ensure data privacy and comply with GDPR and other relevant regulations.
- **Integration:** Seamless integration with the existing ChatPRD platform, ensuring insights are easily accessible within PRD templates.

# PRD 1-Pager: User Interview Recording Upload and Insight Synthesis
## Description
Enable PMs to upload video/audio recordings from user interviews, automatically synthesize key product insights, and utilize this information to prioritize feature requests and enrich requirements documents within ChatPRD.
## Problem
PMs struggle to manually sift through hours of user interview recordings to extract meaningful insights for new product features, resulting in inefficient feature prioritization and lack of user context in PRDs.
## Why
Quantitative data and user feedback show that PMs need a more efficient way to extract and utilize insights from user interviews:
- 65% of PMs spend over 5 hours a week reviewing interviews.
- User feedback highlights the need for better tools to prioritize features based on direct customer input.
## Success
- **User Engagement:** 80% of PMs upload and analyze at least one recording per week.
- **Feature Utilization:** 70% of analyzed insights are used in feature prioritization.
- **User Satisfaction:** 90% positive feedback on the usefulness of synthesized insights.
- **Efficiency:** Reduce time spent by PMs on extracting insights by 60%.
## Audience
Primarily targeted at PMs within ChatPRD who conduct user interviews and need efficient ways to derive actionable insights for product development.
## What
- **Upload & Process:** PMs upload user interview recordings which are processed to extract key product insights.
- **Insights Generation:** Automatic analysis to highlight new feature requests and pain points.
- **Prioritization Tool:** Helps PMs prioritize features based on synthesized insights.
- **Context Integration:** Allows PMs to embed real user context directly into PRDs.
## How
- **Upload Interface:** Simple upload functionality within ChatPRD.
- **AI Processing:** Utilizing machine learning to transcribe and analyze recordings.
- **Insights Dashboard:** Visual representation of key insights and prioritized features.
