The Reality Check

The Feedback Black Hole Problem

Great feedback is everywhere. Acting on it is nowhere.

53%
of product teams admit they don't have a formal process for capturing customer feedback.
UserVoice State of Product Management
πŸ“§

Scattered Everywhere

Email, Slack, support tickets, Intercom, surveys, analyticsβ€”feedback lives in 10 different tools. You know it's there. You can't find it.

πŸ”

Duplicates & Noise

20 people request the same feature with different words. You don't realize it's the same request until you've built three different solutions.

πŸ•³οΈ

Lost in Translation

Customer feedback sits in one system. Product roadmap lives in another. Nothing connects. Ideas never become features. Customers never know you listened.

The Solution

One System. All Your Feedback. Instant Action.

From capture to conversionβ€”feedback management that actually closes the loop

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can customers submit feedback directly?

+

Yes. You get an embeddable feedback widget, a standalone portal, and direct submission links. Plus you can integrate with 25+ feedback tools customers already use (Intercom, Zendesk, etc.). All submissions flow into one system.

How does duplicate detection work?

+

AI-powered natural language matching. When users submit feedback, the system searches existing items and shows similar ones with percentage match scores (e.g., "78% similar to..."). Users can vote on existing items instead of creating duplicates. You can also manually merge related items.

Can we make our feedback portal public or keep it private?

+

Both. You control visibility per item or for the entire portal. Public portals let anyone vote and comment (great for community-driven products). Private portals restrict access to invited users only (great for enterprise feedback).

How does feedback connect to our roadmap?

+

One-click conversion: "Turn to Epic", "Turn to Feature", "Turn to User Story". Or link feedback to existing backlog items. Once connected, the feedback shows the work item ID. If using auto-sync, status updates from roadmap (Planned β†’ In Progress β†’ Shipped) automatically update feedback status.

What are Collections and how do they work?

+

Collections group related feedback around themes or problem areas (e.g., "Mobile Experience", "Enterprise Security"). One feedback item can belong to multiple collections. Collections can have AI-generated problem summaries and linked solutions. Great for organizing feedback by strategic theme.

Can we customize status workflows?

+

Absolutely. Define custom statuses per feedback type (Ideas vs Issues can have different workflows). Example: "Submitted β†’ Under Review β†’ Planned β†’ In Development β†’ Shipped". Or use your own stages. Status counts show in sidebar, insights show distribution.

What integrations are supported?

+

25+ including: Intercom, Zendesk, ProdPad, Gleap, Elevio, Gatherup, ProductLane, Zonka Feedback, Retently, Zoho SalesIQ, Langfuse, Flash AI, Slack, plus CSV/JSON import and REST API for custom integrations.

Can we import existing feedback from spreadsheets?

+

Yes. Bulk import via CSV or JSON. Map your columns to feedback fields (title, description, category, status, tags). System validates, creates items, and notifies you when complete. Great for migrating from other tools or consolidating historical feedback.
