Overview
ProductForge is built as four connected modules. Research gathers and scores what a market is asking for. Strategy turns that into a product plan and a price range. The Creation Studio runs an eight-step pipeline that writes the content and assembles a designed PDF. Launch prepares the listing and scores how sellable the product is.
Key decisions
- A demo mode on every module, so the interface can be tested without spending API credits.
- Research sources are weighted by how reliable they are, and research must reach a 70% confidence threshold before planning starts.
Progress and next steps
All four modules are built. Three bugs stop it from being released: content from a previous run can leak into the next one, the finished PDF comes out far too small, and the fallback cover image is corrupt. Fixing those comes before generating any real product.
Reflection
To confirm: Optional: what building this has taught you so far.
