Even outside of AI coding I have found a tremendous amount of value in using AI to produce a requirements and spec document for me to code from. The key unlock for me is asking AI to “interview” me about how this system/feature should work. As part of that process it will often ask a question that gets me thinking about interesting edge cases.

I will say I always provide an initial context document about the feature/system, to avoid us starting with trivial questions. After about 45minutes I’ll often feel I’ve covered enough ground and given the problem enough thought to really put pen to paper. Off the back of this I’ll ask it to summarise the spec and produce a document. This can be a good point to ditch AI if you are so inclined but still get value from it.
