Step-by-step playbook

  1. 1

    Develop Data Ingestion and Cleansing Pipeline

    Create integrations (using Make/Zapier) to pull data from various sources: competitor websites, industry news aggregators, customer feedback platforms (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk), and public feature request boards.

  2. 2

    Build AI for Trend and Gap Analysis

    Train an LLM (e.g., custom GPT on OpenAI or fine-tuned open-source model) to detect emerging trends, common pain points from support tickets, and feature gaps relative to competitors. Store findings in Airtable.

  3. 3

    Implement Feature Idea Generation Engine

    Configure the AI to creatively brainstorm new feature ideas based on the identified trends and gaps. Each idea should include a brief description, potential user story, and competitive differentiator.

  4. 4

    Create Prioritization and Impact Assessment Module

    Develop an AI-assisted module (or set of prompts) to suggest initial prioritization of features based on potential impact, effort, and alignment with user goals. Present this within a Notion dashboard.

  5. 5

    Design Intuitive Web Dashboard

    Build a Webflow dashboard for SaaS product managers to connect their data sources, view generated feature ideas, filter them, and export them into their existing product management tools.

  6. 6

    Offer Integration with Product Roadmapping Tools

    Enable direct export or integration with popular product roadmapping tools (e.g., Jira, Productboard) so that generated ideas can seamlessly enter the development pipeline.
