Hello everyone 👋

Welcome to the ChatPRD newsletter. For those of you who are new, welcome! And to those of you who have been here for a while, thanks for being here.

A little personal note: like many of you, my heart has been with my home state of Texas and the victims of the terrible flood there. If you're looking to help, here are a few local orgs that are providing support on the ground 🫶

As for our team, we've been working on some big features, and in the meantime, continuing to work on quality of life things that will make your experience a little smoother. We've also onboarded a new support team member Jasmine, so if you chat with her, say hi & be kind! She's onboarding and will be an expert very soon 😎

Let's dive in ⬇️

✅ Custom Template Instructions

If you create or share document templates, this one’s for you. Templates now have an optional “Instructions” field, letting you add formatting notes or extra guidance for ChatPRD as it generates docs with your template.

We've also improve the UX a bit with larger text areas—so writing template details is a little easier. You now have even more customization options when it comes to your document templates! Reminder: all pro users have access to custom templates.
