Features

the functionalities and parts you want your ai solution to have

This card covers the specific things your AI tool will do and the parts that make it up. Listing features openly keeps the team from quietly assuming the tool does more than it will. It also helps you separate what is needed for a first version from what can wait.

Questions to explore

// use these as prompts in a workshop or on your own. There are no right answers.
  1. Which single feature, if removed, would make this tool not worth building?
  2. What features are people imagining that the AI cannot reliably deliver yet?
  3. How do the features depend on each other, and which must come first?
  4. Which features serve the newsroom's work, and which only sound impressive in a demo?
  5. What would you cut to ship something usable in half the time?

Things to consider

  • A short list of features that work beats a long list that half work.
  • Name the features you are deliberately leaving out, not just the ones you include.
  • Tie each feature back to a real task someone in the newsroom does today.
using this card

Pull Features when it is relevant and set it aside when it is not. Pair it with the other AI Solutions cards, lay them out on a table, and use the questions above to get everyone on the same page. Capture what you discuss on sticky notes or in a shared doc.
