Prodx vs ChatPRD
ChatPRD is an AI tool that drafts PRDs from a prompt and connects to GitHub only to read context. Prodx makes GitHub the source of truth — the PRD lives in your repo and accepted edits become commits. They are complementary: draft anywhere, keep the canonical doc in Prodx.
What is ChatPRD?
ChatPRD is an AI platform for product managers that turns prompts, notes, and research into PRDs, user stories, and specs, and offers CPO-style coaching on your drafts. It integrates with Linear, Notion, Slack, Google Docs, and reads GitHub repos for context.

Frequently asked questions
Prodx and ChatPRD solve different parts of the workflow. ChatPRD focuses on AI-drafting and coaching; Prodx focuses on where the canonical PRD lives — in GitHub, version-controlled, with a collaboration layer. Many teams could draft in an AI tool and keep the source-of-truth document in Prodx.
No. ChatPRD connects to GitHub to read repository context; the document itself lives in ChatPRD or is exported to tools like Notion or Google Docs. Prodx is the one that keeps the PRD in your GitHub repo as the source of truth.
