Prodely

Prodely is an AI-powered product discovery platform designed to help product teams structure, plan, and execute their work with greater speed and accuracy. It transforms the often chaotic process of continuous discovery into a clear, outcome-driven workflow. By leveraging a collaborative AI, Prodely centralizes scattered customer feedback and business knowledge, making it easy to unearth actionable insights and opportunities for growth.

The primary benefit of Prodely is its ability to bring structure and clarity to the product development lifecycle. It is targeted at product managers, user researchers, and development teams who need to make informed, data-driven decisions. The platform acts as an intelligent teammate, automating the analysis of customer data and visually mapping out strategic paths using the Opportunity Solution Tree framework. This makes it an invaluable tool for any organization looking to build products that truly resonate with customer needs and achieve business goals.

Features

• AI-Generated Opportunity Solution Trees: Automatically transform scattered feedback, user interviews, and market data into interactive and structured Opportunity Solution Tree (OST) canvases. This provides a clear visual roadmap from desired outcomes to potential solutions.
• Smart Transcriptions: Upload or record customer conversations and let the AI automatically transcribe and analyze them. It extracts key insights, identifies patterns, and generates actionable recommendations, saving hours of manual work.
• AI Discovery Co-pilot: Chat with an AI assistant that understands your team’s unique business context, strategic objectives, and customer knowledge. Ask it to analyze data, perform market research, or brainstorm ideas anytime.
• From Chaos to Clarity: Structure all your discovery work in a centralized platform. The system organizes knowledge into projects and catalogs, turning disparate pieces of information into a coherent and actionable knowledge base.
• Deep Market Research: Utilize the AI to conduct in-depth market research. The platform helps you understand competitive landscapes and market trends to validate insights and ensure your product strategy is well-informed.
• Collaborative Planning (Coming Soon): Plan and execute as a team with integrated Kanban boards and task management features. This will help align everyone on opportunity validation, idea testing, and execution.

How to Use

1. Aggregate Your Data: Begin by importing all relevant customer data into Prodely. This can include user interview transcripts, survey responses, support tickets, and feedback from various channels.
2. Transcribe and Analyze Conversations: Use the smart transcription feature for any audio or video interviews. The AI will not only transcribe the content but also analyze it for key themes, pain points, and user quotes.
3. Engage the AI Co-pilot: Interact with your AI assistant to dig deeper into the data. Ask questions like, "What are the most common feature requests from our enterprise users?" or "Summarize the key pain points related to our onboarding process."
4. Generate an Opportunity Solution Tree: Instruct the AI to generate an Opportunity Solution Tree based on a specific business outcome. The platform will map out the opportunities, potential solutions, and underlying user needs it has identified from the data.
5. Collaborate and Refine: Invite your team to the interactive canvas to refine the OST. Prioritize opportunities, brainstorm new solutions, and align on the strategic path forward.
6. Plan and Execute: Use the structured insights from the OST to create a data-backed product roadmap and plan your next steps for validation and development.

Use Cases

• New Feature Prioritization: A product team is unsure which feature to build next. They import the last three months of customer feedback and support tickets into Prodely. The AI analyzes the data and generates an OST, highlighting that a significant opportunity exists in improving data export functionality, which directly aligns with their goal of reducing churn.
• Validating a Startup Idea: A founder has a new app concept. They conduct ten user interviews and upload the recordings to Prodely. The platform's analysis reveals that while the core problem is valid, the solution users truly want is different from the founder's initial idea, allowing them to pivot early and build a more valuable product.
• Quarterly Roadmap Planning: A Head of Product needs to build the next quarterly roadmap. They use Prodely as a central hub for insights from sales, marketing, and user research. The AI co-pilot helps synthesize this information, surfacing key strategic themes and opportunities that the entire team can review and commit to on a single canvas.

FAQ

What is an Opportunity Solution Tree (OST)?

An Opportunity Solution Tree is a visual framework that helps product teams move from a desired outcome to specific solutions. It breaks down a high-level goal into smaller, more manageable opportunities (unmet customer needs or pain points) and then helps you brainstorm solutions to address them, ensuring your work is always tied to a clear business objective.

What kind of data can I import into Prodely?

Prodely is designed to handle a wide range of unstructured and structured data, including audio and video from customer interviews, text from surveys, feedback forms, support tickets, and notes from user research sessions.

How does the AI understand my specific business context?

Prodely's AI is designed to learn from the data you provide. It maintains the full context of your team's business knowledge, strategic priorities, and customer insights that you've added to the platform, allowing it to provide tailored and relevant analysis.

Is Prodely for large teams only?

No, Prodely is valuable for teams of all sizes, from solo founders to large enterprise product organizations. Its ability to structure thinking and automate analysis helps any team save time and make better-informed decisions.

How does Prodely differ from project management tools like Jira?

Prodely is focused on the "why" and "what" of product development (discovery and strategy), while tools like Jira are focused on the "how" (execution and delivery). Prodely helps you decide what to build, and it complements project management tools by feeding them well-validated and prioritized initiatives.

Is my customer and business data secure?

Yes, Prodely prioritizes data security. All data is handled with strict security protocols to ensure your proprietary business information and customer insights remain confidential and protected.
