What is Productboard AI

Today, it’s harder than ever to stay on top of evolving customer needs and market dynamics. The volume of requests and feedback can be near impossible for product teams to digest at scale. It’s also easy to get bogged down in manual work, and hard to focus on what matters: defining the right strategy, collaborating with partners, and engaging customers.

We envision a future where every product team is equipped with AI that helps them find the signal in the noise, work smarter, and build extraordinary products that exceed customer expectations.

Productboard AI is our solution to help you make the right product decisions and accomplish more than ever. The Productboard AI suite includes several capabilities — powered by OpenAI — that are integrated seamlessly into your day-to-day work and customized for the product manager’s job.

Productboard AI Features

AI-generated feature specs

Write feature specs at lightning speed

Jumpstart your feature specs using AI that draws upon customer feedback linked to your feature ideas. Quickly draft common elements such as problem statements, pain points, common themes, and desired outcomes – giving you more time back to focus on high-value work.

AI summaries of feedback notes

Uncover key feedback within long conversations

Productboard AI extracts the most important insights from deep within support conversations, emails, and messaging threads. Make better-informed decisions without having to sift through long, back-and-forth conversations. Easily link AI summaries to your feature ideas.

Note: AI-generated summaries are applied to all new notes except those from the Salesforce integration and very short notes. For notes created manually, the summary is generated 3-6 hours after the note is created to give you enough time to finish the content.

AI search for related insights

Turbocharge discovery by finding insights related to any feature or idea

Whether you have a new or an existing feature idea, Productboard AI can help you identify related customer feedback and validate opportunities more effectively. Simply describe your feature, and Productboard AI will search for relevant insights across all your notes.

AI summaries of trending topics

Productboard AI will generate intelligent summaries of every major topic detected across all your user feedback.

You can access these summaries by selecting a topic listed on a given note, or from the trending topics module on the insights trends dashboard.

How Productboard AI uses my data

Your data won’t be used to train the AI models for the purpose of other Productboard Customers. We do not permit our third-party subprocessors of Productboard AI to use your data to train their Al models.

Productboard AI is powered by OpenAI’s solutions. If you choose to use Productboard AI, you agree to OpenAI being a subprocessor of your data. For more information, please review Productboard’s AI Terms and list of Subprocessors.

Each Productboard AI feature solves a different problem and therefore uses different data from your workspace to achieve a solution. In the table below you can find details about what data is used when and for what purposes.
