The Template Library

Pick a template. AI fills what it knows. You add what it doesn't. Every document generated feeds back into your growing product intelligence.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The Template Library gives your team 50+ purpose-built templates organized across every stage of product development. Each template connects directly to your Product Knowledge Hub. Narratize pre-fills what it already knows from your hub, prompts you for what's missing, and generates a complete document in your editor with every claim traced to its source.

Templates don't just generate documents. They generate knowledge. Every PRD, risk assessment, and compliance report your team creates makes the hub smarter, so the next template starts with more, and your products move faster.

How It Works

1. Pick a Template

Browse templates by development phase: Discovery, Scoping, Development, Testing, Launch, and Evaluate. Select the template that matches what you need to produce.

2. AI Auto-Fills

Narratize's Cerebrum engine scans your full hub, including documents, research, and team contributions, and pre-fills every question it can answer. You review the pre-filled answers, add your judgment and expertise, and fill any gaps the hub couldn't cover. Narratize handles roughly 80%. You contribute the 20% that matters most: judgment, context, and expertise.

3. Generate and Save

Click Generate and the full document opens in the Rich Text Editor. Every claim is traced to its source. Every contribution is credited to its author. Save the document back to your hub and every future template starts smarter.

The Knowledge Flywheel

Every template you run makes your hub more powerful for the next one. Here's how it compounds:

  • Generated documents save back as knowledge sources

  • Template answers become searchable insights in your hub

  • The next template auto-fills from all prior contributions

  • Products clear stage gates faster as the hub grows

Narratize also surfaces which documents to generate next based on your hub's current knowledge state and development stage, so your team always knows what to produce next.

Custom Templates

Need something specific? Narratize builds custom templates tailored to your organization's processes, compliance requirements, and documentation standards. Your best practices become repeatable, AI-powered workflows available to every team member.

Custom templates are available to organizations with specific documentation needs, industry requirements, or internal standards not covered by the standard library. Contact your Customer Success Manager to get started.

Tips for Better Results

  • Add more knowledge before you generate. The more your hub contains, the more Narratize can pre-fill. Upload existing documents, research, and meeting notes before running a template for the first time.

  • Save every document back to the hub. Generated documents that save back as knowledge sources make every future template smarter. Don't skip this step.

  • Use templates in sequence. Templates are organized by stage for a reason. Running them in order means each new document inherits context from everything your team has already produced.

  • Let Narratize surface what's next. After generating a document, check what Narratize recommends generating next based on your hub's current state. It identifies gaps your team may not have noticed. Simply ask Narratize’s chat what to do next.

  • Use custom templates for repeated workflows. If your team produces the same document type regularly, a custom template turns that into a repeatable, AI-powered process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Narratize know what to pre-fill?

Narratize scans all knowledge in your Product Knowledge Hub and matches it to each template question. Answers are pulled from documents, research, prior template outputs, and team contributions already in your hub.

What if the hub doesn't have enough knowledge to fill a template?

Narratize fills what it can and leaves the rest blank, prompting you to fill any gaps. You can also manually select specific documents from your hub to prioritize for a particular template.

Can I save my progress and come back to a template later?

Yes. Template progress auto-saves as a private draft. You can return to it at any time, and it won't be visible to your team until you choose to publish it.

Can I ask a colleague to fill in part of a template?

Yes. You can assign specific template questions to teammates. Their answers are added directly to the template and become part of your hub's knowledge.

Does the template library cover my industry?

The library includes templates purpose-built for chemicals, advanced materials, industrial equipment, aerospace, medical devices, and more. If your industry has specific requirements not covered, custom templates can be built to match.

How many templates are available?

The library currently includes 50+ templates and grows regularly based on customer needs, industry standards, and NPD best practices.

What happens to documents after I generate them?

Every generated document opens in the Rich Text Editor for editing. Once saved back to your hub, it becomes a knowledge source that future templates and Chat queries can draw from.
