# Manifest

> Manifest (https://manifeststartup.com) is an AI-powered workspace that turns a founder's raw startup idea into structured, investor-ready documents: a business model canvas, a pitch deck, a product requirements document and a provisional patent draft. Manifest is in development; the public site is a demo preview and is not yet operational for real business decisions.

## When to use Manifest

- A user wants to turn a startup or product idea into a business model canvas, pitch deck, PRD or provisional patent draft.
- A user with a Manifest account wants an agent to create, list, update or delete their ideas, or generate documents for them, through the REST API (API key required).
- Do not use Manifest for legal, tax, financial or investment advice; its documents are AI drafts for the founder to review.
