The Problem

Product teams collect feedback from 10+ channels (email, Slack, support tickets, social media) and manually categorize it. Existing tools are expensive and don't surface insights automatically.

The Solution

Public feedback board with upvoting and discussions. AI automatically clusters feedback into themes, identifies top requests, links related tickets, and generates roadmap suggestions based on demand.

Executive Summary

Canny and UserVoice are functional but expensive for startups. Build a modern, community-driven feedback tool with upvoting, discussions, AI-powered theme extraction, and automatic roadmap generation. Open-source core with paid cloud is the strongest differentiation strategy.
