BrainGrid

What is BrainGrid?

BrainGrid is a specialized product planning platform designed to bridge the gap between conceptual ideas and executable code for AI-assisted development. It serves as an upstream planning layer that works alongside coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, transforming vague concepts into detailed specifications, user flows, and task breakdowns. The platform helps developers and non-technical founders move beyond fragile prototypes to production-ready software by uncovering edge cases, managing dependencies, and preventing regressions before code is written. Through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, BrainGrid enables seamless workflow between planning and implementation, ensuring coding agents receive the context and structure needed to build features correctly the first time.

Key Features

• Intelligent Requirements Planning

  Interactive planning agent asks clarifying questions to surface hidden complexity, edge cases, and constraints, transforming incomplete ideas into comprehensive specifications with goals, architecture, and acceptance criteria.

• Automated Task Breakdown

  Decomposes large features into small, scoped tasks with clear objectives and acceptance criteria that coding agents can execute autonomously without breaking existing functionality.

• Readiness Scoring & Dependency Management

  Provides visual signals indicating which features are ready to build and which need refinement, while mapping dependencies and blockers across the project hierarchy to prevent development bottlenecks.

• Universal Coding Agent Integration

  Connects to any coding agent through MCP, CLI, or direct copy-paste, enabling seamless task export to tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf without vendor lock-in.

• Codebase Analysis & Context

  Analyzes connected GitHub repositories to understand existing architecture and generate acceptance reviews that verify new code against specifications, reducing regressions and maintaining system coherence.

Use Cases

• Non-Technical Founders Building SaaS : Founders without coding expertise can structure product ideas, define features, and create detailed specifications that coding agents can build into production-grade software with authentication, billing, and multi-tenancy.
• AI-Assisted Feature Development : Development teams using coding agents can plan complex features with complete user flows and technical specifications, ensuring faster delivery with fewer bugs and regressions.
• MVP to Production Scaling : Teams transitioning from prototype to scalable product can organize scattered requirements, prioritize production-readiness tasks, and maintain clear development roadmaps with dependency tracking.
• Code Review Automation : Engineering teams can leverage acceptance reviews to automatically verify pull requests against original specifications and detect potential breaking changes before merging.
