Today's Tool

Productboard for feedback triage

Connect your support and sales feedback sources so Productboard auto-tags new notes against existing features. This cuts the weekly triage from hours to a quick review of what the AI grouped.

Today's Prompt

Cluster a week of feedback

Paste the week's raw feedback into your assistant and ask it to group items into themes with counts and urgent flags. Use the output as the starting point for your prioritization meeting instead of building it from scratch.

Today's Trick

Always check the counts

AI clustering is fast but it sometimes splits one theme into two or merges distinct issues. Spend five minutes verifying the groupings before you present them, since a wrong count can skew a roadmap decision.
