Solution
An in-house team has the opposite problem to an agency. Nobody is going to dispute your scope, but everybody depends on your documentation being right. Spectr keeps requirements versioned and easy to update when scope moves, drafts stories against your own Notion, Figma and GitHub, and puts real numbers in front of the prioritisation conversation.
How it works
A call is imported from a note-taker (Fathom, Granola, Read.ai, or Fireflies.ai). Spectr picks out a requirement, a bug, an action item and an out-of-scope ask, reads Notion, Figma, and GitHub for context, and drafts a story and a bug with acceptance criteria. A person approves both, they are published to the team's tracker (Jira, Linear, or Shortcut), and the requirements, scope log and project memory update from the same call.
Requirements go stale. The spec and the built thing drift apart. The reason behind a decision survives only in the memory of whoever made it. None of it is urgent enough to get into a sprint, so none of it happens - and the bill arrives later as a rebuilt feature, a duplicated ticket, or an argument about what "done" was supposed to mean.
A 30-person SaaS company. Two squads, one PM each, a shared design system.
Week 1
Both PMs pin the same Notion space, the design system Figma file and their squad's repos to their projects.
Week 2
Refinement takes 25 minutes instead of an hour, because the stories arriving already name real components and have criteria on them.
Week 3
Spectr flags a story in squad B as a probable duplicate of one squad A shipped last month. It was. Two weeks of work does not get done twice.
Week 4
A PRD needs updating after a strategy change. It is a prompt and a review, then a new tagged version, rather than an afternoon in a doc.
Week 6
Planning: the PostHog numbers in the spec settle a disagreement about which of two flows is actually losing people.
Ongoing
Action items across both squads sit on one dashboard, updating live, so nobody chases status in Slack.
An hour of refinement has turned into 25 minutes, two weeks of duplicated work never happened at all, and the PRD is still accurate in week six - which is not usually true.
Versioned BRDs and PRDs, written or updated from meetings, pasted text or uploaded files, with a tagged version at each agreed point. Generate a spec sheet directly from an agreed requirement and the stories can be traced back to that exact version rather than to a conversation.
Pin the Notion pages, Figma files and GitHub repos that define your product and Spectr reads them before drafting - including Figma screenshots, which go in as real images. Stories come back using your feature names and your components, with estimates based on what the change would really touch.
Every finished spec sheet is checked against everything else in the project for probable repeats. Promote a flag to a confirmed duplicate and the two are linked permanently, so the same work does not sit in your backlog twice under two different phrasings.
Action items from every project on one page. Complete, reopen or dismiss them in place, filter to just yours, and see a teammate's change appear without refreshing.

It holds versioned BRDs and PRDs and generates specs from them. Whether that replaces what you have depends on how much of your current tool is documentation versus roadmapping - Spectr is not a roadmapping tool.
It is updated after each meeting and each requirement change, and the prompts treat it as background that might be out of date - the call and the freshly-read docs win on a conflict. If it gets messy, one click rebuilds it from scratch.
Your meetings, specs, requirements, stories, budget and team. It shows its reasoning and links every source it used. Available on Starter and above.
Yes, as separate projects. Duplicate detection runs within a project, so cross-squad duplicates are caught when both squads work in one project rather than two.
A real backlog without a full-time PM, and numbers instead of the loudest opinion
Specs grounded in the client's real codebase, and a scope record that survives handover
