Cursor freed engineers. Specky frees PMs.
Cursor changed engineering by giving AI a persistent, compounding understanding of the codebase. Specky does the same for product management — a living Product Graph that understands your customers, signals, and decisions. The result: PRDs drafted, tickets staged, and interviews run overnight — waiting for your review in the morning.
- Product Graph is the PM equivalent of a codebase index
- Scheduled workflows return PM work for review
- Every signal and decision compounds over time
- PRDs, tickets, research — all generated from your real data
- paid subscription
- The gold standard for AI-native code editing
- Codebase-aware — understands your entire repo
- Background agents for autonomous coding tasks
- Changed how engineers work — dramatically
- Not a PM tool
Feature-by-feature breakdown
When to choose each
Choose Cursor if…
- You're an engineer who needs AI-native code editing
- Your work is primarily in code — writing, reviewing, refactoring
Choose Specky if…
- You're a PM who wants what Cursor gives engineers
- You want AI that knows your product as deeply as Cursor knows the codebase
- You want scheduled workflows returning PM work for review
Cursor is the AI-native IDE for engineers. Specky is the AI-native workspace for the person deciding what they build.
Cursor changed how engineers work by indexing the whole codebase and running background agents on real coding tasks — it's become the reference point for what "AI-native" should feel like. Specky applies the same idea to product management: instead of indexing code, it indexes your product signal — Slack, Gong, Jira, GitHub, PostHog — into a living Product Graph.
Both tools can prepare work in the background. Cursor's agents fix bugs and ship PRs; Specky's workflows run user interviews, synthesize new signal, and draft PRDs for review. They're not competitors — most solo founders and small teams can run both, since Cursor builds what Specky helps decide is worth building.
If you're already vibe-coding with Cursor, Claude Code, or v0, the gap Specky fills is upstream: knowing what to build next, with evidence, before you open the editor.

Specky vs Cursor — common questions
Is Specky a replacement for Cursor?+
No — they solve different problems. Cursor is for writing and editing code; Specky is for deciding what code is worth writing. Most of Specky's ICP (solo founders and small teams building with Cursor, Claude Code, or v0) uses both together.
How does Specky's Product Graph compare to Cursor's codebase index?+
Cursor indexes your code — every file, function, and pattern. Specky indexes your product reality — Slack threads, customer calls, support tickets, analytics — and connects them to the decisions and outcomes that followed. Same "AI-native, always-current context" idea, applied to a different layer.
Do Specky's tickets flow into what I build in Cursor?+
Yes — Specky generates tickets from an approved PRD and pushes them to Jira, Linear, GitHub, Trello, or Shortcut, where they're ready for you (or Cursor's background agents) to pick up and build.
Which is cheaper, Cursor or Specky?+
Cursor's Hobby tier is free and Pro is $20/mo — cheap because it's a single-purpose coding tool. Specky's Solo tier is €99/mo and covers the research, drafting, and outcome-tracking loop; they're priced for different jobs, not really comparable head-to-head.
