The backstory
Productboard gave product managers a structured way to collect customer feedback, score feature requests and turn them into a shareable roadmap, work that used to require pulling data from many disconnected tools. General AI assistants can now summarize feedback and draft a roadmap outline directly from a pile of support tickets or call transcripts in minutes, undercutting the simplest version of what Productboard does.
