Let Slack Threads Write Your PRD — Powered by Notion MCP

Ever had a brilliant product discussion in Slack—only to forget it ever happened?

You brainstorm, bounce ideas, iterate in a thread… and then move on.
Two days later someone asks, “Wait, did we ever spec that out?”
Now you’re backscrolling through messages, trying to reconstruct what felt obvious at the time.

It’s a familiar pain for every PM, designer, and engineer:
the thinking lives in Slack, but the spec lives nowhere.

From Conversation to Specification—Without Lifting a Finger

What if you could just tag a bot and get a fully drafted PRD back?

With Runbear + Notion MCP, you can.
Our PRD Helper bot lets you turn any Slack thread into a structured PRD document—automatically generated and saved to your Notion workspace.

Whether you're brainstorming a new feature, outlining an MVP, or collecting stakeholder feedback, PRD Helper does the work of listening, organizing, and drafting.

Step-by-Step Guide to Auto-Generating PRDs from Slack Threads with Runbear

You can set this up in just 10 minutes. Here's how:

1. Sign up for Runbear

Create your account at runbear.io and get started instantly—no credit card required.

2. Create an Agent and Write an Instruction

Set up your AI agent by giving it a simple instruction like:

## Description

This bot automatically generates a structured PRD (Product Requirements Document) based on the content of a Slack thread.  
It uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) to analyze the discussion, extract relevant product details, and generate a Notion document in a standard PRD format.

## How it Works

1. A team discusses a feature or product idea in a Slack thread.
2. A user tags the bot in the thread (e.g., @PRD Helper create a PRD from this conversation).
3. The bot extracts key elements:
   - Problem statement
   - Goals or motivations
   - Proposed solutions
   - Scope (MVP)
   - Open questions or blockers
   - Participants and thread metadata
4. A clean, markdown-formatted PRD is created and pushed to Notion.
5. The PRD includes a link back to the original Slack thread.

## What the Bot Should Do

- Use a clear and structured tone.
- Include missing fields as placeholders (e.g., `TODO`, `Needs input from team`) if the thread lacks context.
- Avoid hallucinations—stick to what's actually discussed.
- Only respond to product-related threads (ideas, specs, MVPs, UX feedback).
- Do not process personal or off-topic messages.
- Prevent duplicates by checking thread ID or permalink.

3. Add Notion MCP

Connect your Notion so your agent has access to the information it needs to prepare your meetings.

4. Invite the Agent to Slack or Teams

Bring the agent into your workspace. Whether you use Slack or Microsoft Teams, your AI assistant can live where your team communicates.

You’re All Set—Your Specs Write Themselves

Once configured, your agent turns any Slack thread into a fully structured PRD—automatically. No more scrambling to summarize, no more forgotten conversations.

It’s fast, reliable, and gets your team aligned in minutes—not hours.

Ready to try it? Your next PRD might already be written—just tag the bot.
