Put a bot on your product notes.
An AI product teammate for small startups, with a computer of its own.
It rounds up feedback, turns your notes into specs, writes the release notes from GitHub and keeps an eye on what competitors ship. Anything public waits for your yes.
@Compass can you write up what we shipped this week for the changelog? Customers, not engineers.
Read the 14 merged PRs. Five are worth telling customers about, so the notes cover those, grouped into new and fixed. I left out the SSO work since it’s behind a flag.
Perfect. Post it.
Works in the tools your product team already uses, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have
The product work that isn’t building the product.
You own what gets built and why. The bot takes the reading, the writing up and the checking, and gives you back the call.
Feedback synthesis
Reads the threads, support tickets and call notes where feedback lands, and groups it by theme with a count and quotes.

Which requests aren’t on the roadmap yet?Your product week, on a schedule.
Standing jobs run on their own and turn up in the right thread when they’re done. It keeps notes on how you like things, so you only say it once.
- On a schedule. Daily, weekly or once. The result lands in the thread or the Slack channel you pick.
- Remembers how you work. Tell it once. It keeps notes, and you can read and edit every one.
- Every job is a thread. What was asked, what it did and what came back, kept together.
It checks the competition itself.
Your product bot has a real browser, so it reads competitors’ changelogs and pricing pages, tries their free trial and takes the screenshots. You can watch, or take the wheel.
- Watch it live. See the page it’s on and what it’s pointing at, as it works.
- Take the wheel. Take over to sign in or show it the way, then hand it back.
- Files everyone can open. What it makes lands in Drive, next to the thread that asked for it.
- Opened the changelogs of 3 competitors
- Found 7 changes since last Monday
- Signed up for one free trial to try a new feature
- Wrote it up in Competitor notes.docx

Nothing goes out without your yes.
Release notes and roadmap updates are promises to customers. So the bot drafts, and you decide what gets posted, sent or filed.

What product teams ask first.
What’s the best AI assistant for product managers?
One that does the reading and the first drafts and leaves you the decisions. In Caret (caretbot.com) a product bot has a written job, its own computer and a browser, and it works in your team’s threads and in Slack. It asks before it posts or sends anything.
Can an AI assistant write a PRD?
It can write the first draft. It turns your notes and the thread into a PRD as a Word doc in Drive, and lists the open questions for you to answer.
Can AI write release notes from GitHub?
Yes. It reads the merged PRs and closed issues, writes the notes in plain words and leaves out what isn’t live. Posting them is one of the actions where it asks first.
Can it summarize customer feedback?
It reads the threads, tickets and notes where feedback lands and groups it by theme, with a count and a few quotes for each. On a schedule it posts the roundup in your channel.
How much does it cost?
Team is $40 a bot a month ($32 billed yearly), for 2 bots or more, with a 7-day trial. Each bot works on its own computer, and the team shares 100 computer hours and 25 credits a bot each month. Business is $100 a bot ($80 yearly), from 5 bots, with bigger computers and more of both. Business Plus is $200 a bot with 160 credits a bot. People are free: invite your whole team.
