**Talk to your roadmaps using AI.** Ask questions, create ideas, check OKR progress, and manage launches through natural conversation with Claude, Cursor, or other AI assistants.
What can you do with this?
Instead of clicking through ProductPlan's interface, just ask:
> "What's on our Q1 roadmap?"
> "Show me all objectives that are behind schedule"
> "Create a new idea for mobile app improvements"
> "What launches are coming up this month?"
> "List all ideas tagged 'customer-request'"
> "Color every eFormidling bar with the Customer satisfaction legend"
> "Move these ten bars to the Platform lane and tag them Q3"
The AI fetches your real ProductPlan data and responds in seconds. Changes to many bars go through one validated call: every bar is checked before anything is written, and you can ask for a dry run first.
Who is this for?
- **Product Managers** who want faster access to roadmap data
- **Team leads** who need quick status updates without context-switching
- **Anyone using AI assistants** (Claude, Cursor, etc.) who wants ProductPlan integrated into their workflow
No coding required. You'll copy a file and paste some settings.
