Figr extracts insights from PDFs, design specifications, user research reports, and brand guidelines to understand your product deeply. **Document intelligence:** Upload your PRDs, brand guidelines, and research reports once. Figr references them in every design decision. ## Supported Document Types **Product requirements and specifications:** * Product requirement documents * Technical specifications * Feature documentation * API documentation * User story collections * User research findings * Usability test reports * Analytics reports * Market research * Competitive analysis **Visual and brand documentation:** ``` ✅ Brand guideline PDFs ✅ Design system documentation ✅ Style guide exports ✅ Wireframe collections ✅ Design review presentations ✅ Component library documentation ``` **Strategic and business documents:** ``` ✅ Business plan excerpts ✅ Go-to-market strategies ✅ Customer journey maps ✅ Persona documentation ✅ Compliance requirements ✅ Accessibility guidelines ``` ## Document Processing Pipeline **Intelligent document parsing:** PDF upload interface with automatic content recognition **What Figr extracts:** * Text content and structure * Images, diagrams, and screenshots * Tables and data structures * Visual design elements * Document metadata and context **Figr understands document purpose:** ``` 📋 Product Requirements → Feature constraints and goals 🎨 Design Guidelines → Visual standards and patterns 👥 User Research → Behavior insights and pain points 📊 Analytics Reports → Performance data and metrics 🏢 Brand Guidelines → Visual identity and voice ``` ```yaml theme={null} From PRDs: - User stories and acceptance criteria - Technical constraints - Success metrics - Timeline requirements From Research: - User pain points - Behavioral patterns - Preference insights - Usability issues ``` **Document insights become design context:** ``` Example: User Research PDF Finding: "Users abandon checkout when seeing shipping costs" Design Application: Figr suggests early shipping cost display Finding: "Mobile users prefer single-column layouts" Design Application: Figr prioritizes mobile-first patterns ``` ## Document Types & Applications **Visual identity documentation:** Brand guidelines PDF being processed to extract colors, fonts, and logo usage **Extracted elements:** ```yaml theme={null} Colors: Primary, secondary, accent palettes Typography: Font families, weights, sizing scales Logos: Usage rules, variations, spacing Photography: Style guidelines, treatment examples Voice & Tone: Language preferences, writing style ``` **Design application:** * Automatic brand compliance in all designs * Consistent color and typography usage * Appropriate logo placement and sizing * Brand-aligned visual hierarchy **Research insights into design decisions:** ``` Research Finding: "Enterprise users need bulk actions" Figr Application: Suggests batch operations in table designs Research Finding: "Users scan before reading" Figr Application: Emphasizes scannable layouts and clear hierarchy Research Finding: "Mobile users are task-focused" Figr Application: Prioritizes primary actions on mobile ``` **Key extractions:** * User pain points and frustrations * Successful interaction patterns * Device and context preferences * Task completion strategies **Implementation constraints and requirements:** ``` Page load: < 2 seconds Image optimization: WebP preferred Bundle size: < 1MB JavaScript Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance ``` ``` Browser support: IE11+ (affects CSS choices) Framework: React + TypeScript Component library: Material-UI based API limitations: 50 items per page max ``` ## Advanced Processing Features **International document processing:** * Extract content from documents in 50+ languages * Understand cultural design preferences * Translate insights across languages * Maintain context across translations **Document evolution management:** * Track changes across document versions * Compare insights between versions * Maintain design consistency during updates * Archive outdated information appropriately ## Document Management **Smart document categorization:** ``` 📁 Current Standards ├── Brand Guidelines v3.2 ├── Design System Docs └── Accessibility Requirements 📁 Research & Insights ├── Q4 User Research Report ├── Mobile Usability Study └── Competitor Analysis 📁 Product Requirements ├── Feature Spec - Dashboard ├── API Documentation └── Performance Requirements ``` **Find relevant information quickly:** ``` Search examples: "accessibility requirements for forms" "brand color usage guidelines" "mobile user behavior insights" "API response time constraints" ``` **Keep information current:** * Automatic notifications for document updates * Version comparison tools * Impact assessment for changes * Seamless context updates in active designs ## Privacy & Security **Enterprise-grade document security:** Your sensitive documents are processed with bank-level security and never shared outside your organization. ```yaml theme={null} Encryption: AES-256 in transit and at rest Access: Role-based document permissions Processing: Isolated per organization Retention: Configurable document lifecycle ``` **Automatic sensitive information protection:** ``` Automatically redacted: - Social security numbers - Credit card information - Email addresses (optional) - Phone numbers (optional) - Custom sensitive patterns ``` *** Discover how to add contextual information and reference materials to enhance Figr's understanding.
