How It All Fits Together
thig.ai has several interconnected systems. This page gives you the mental model; the deep-dive pages explain each relationship in detail.The Big Picture
Three Things to Understand
Organizing Work
Projects are individual PRDs. Workspaces group projects by team. Portfolio shows product hierarchies. None of these affect permissions.
How AI Gets Smart
Every chat message is enriched with 4 layers of context: your profile, AI memories, knowledge base files, and conversation history. AI learns from every conversation.
Templates → Projects
Templates define PRD structure and AI behavior. When you start a project from a template, the structure is copied. The AI follows the template’s guidance during chat.
Quick Reference: What Goes Where
Quick Reference: KB vs. AI Memory
This is the most common point of confusion. They’re two separate systems:
Rule of thumb: If it’s a fact about your company → Knowledge Base. If it’s a preference about how you work → AI Memory.
Common Workflows
Starting a new PRD
1
Pick a template
Browse marketplace or org templates. The template defines PRD structure and AI behavior.
2
Chat with AI
AI asks questions guided by the template. Your profile, memories, and KB context are automatically applied behind the scenes.
3
Upload context (optional)
Drop in competitor analysis, user research, or specs. They become part of the project’s KB.
4
Generate PRD
AI uses conversation + all context layers to generate a structured document.
5
Review, share, export
Edit in the rich editor, get AI coaching, share with stakeholders, export to PDF/DOCX/Notion.
Organizing work across teams
1
Create workspaces
One per squad or department (e.g., “Mobile”, “Platform”, “Growth”).
2
Assign projects
Link existing projects to the relevant workspace.
3
Create product hierarchy
Make parent “Product” projects, then link feature projects as sub-features.
4
Use Portfolio view
Switch to Portfolio tab on Projects page. Filter by workspace to see each team’s products and progress.
