What we’re building with Spark
We’re redefining how product management works in the AI era.
Productboard Spark isn’t another AI feature — it’s a reimagining of the entire craft of product management.
Think of Spark as a highly capable PM colleague that can instantly process vast information, synthesize insights, and surface opportunities. It deeply understands your product, your strategy, and your challenges.
Our decade of experience in product workflows gives us a unique advantage: we know where AI should amplify human judgment and where it should get out of the way.
Our platform blends natural language with structured UI elements — dashboards, matrices, and visualizations — to help teams think and work the way real product managers do.
Thousands of customers already trust us with their product data. With AI, we can finally unlock its hidden insights and help teams make better, faster decisions.
