Turn product ideas into complete, actionable features faster with Elle, the Aha! AI assistant.
Turn customer ideas into features with the right details
Every customer idea offers a window into how your product can improve. Taken together, these insights help teams uncover unmet needs, identify meaningful opportunities, and decide where to invest next. Today's update helps teams turn new opportunities into well-defined features from the start. And this also streamlines the process from going from customer feedback to prototype.
Now, when you promote an idea, you can review the details, complete required fields, and draft the feature description with AI before adding it to your roadmap.
Convert ideas to features with the right details
Product teams rely on ideas portals to capture customer feedback in one place and assess the most valuable opportunities. When an idea is ready to move forward, you promote it to a feature. This has always been a seamless process in Aha! Roadmaps. With a single click, a new work item is created and populated with key details — like the description, tags, product value score, and vote count — giving you a head start for further planning.
Today's update makes this workflow even more efficient. When you promote an idea, the full feature creation form now opens — so you can use Elle, the Aha! AI assistant, to draft a more comprehensive description and capture other important details before the feature is actually created.
Here is what you can do:
Define features upfront: Use the feature creation form to capture the right information from the outset.
Draft the description with AI: Use Elle to turn the customer idea into a detailed feature description.
Add important details: Review, update, and fill in essential fields for each feature.
Prototype with greater clarity: Get to a higher-fidelity prototype faster using better information.
Turn customer ideas into well-defined features from the start. Capturing key details during feature creation helps teams prioritize work more effectively and keeps planning data consistent across roadmaps and reports.
These ideas promotion improvements are available for all Aha! Roadmaps users.
