A tool is only as good as the quality of its end-user outcomes. The best way to level up as an engineer is to work backwards from the customer experience.
📢 Announcing: Request Relay
Your Bolt app can now connect to APIs and services that would be blocked by the browser (like OpenAI, Anthropic or Notion)
It's so good we've enabled it by default!
Begone, CORS errors!
With AI, it's easy to fall into the trap of overpromising and underdelivering.
There are so many AI products out there... but most of them are just shiny prototypes, not working products.
So, if your AI actually works, you have a chance to stand out. But how do you prove it? How do you demonstrate that your AI product is not like the others?
At @CycleProduct, we came up with a concept we called the AI relevancy score. It's basically a calculation of our feedback AI's success rate broken down by workspace.
Every time a piece of feedback gets processed in Cycle, we create a score that compares the AI-generated answer to the "good" answer (ie the user-verified answer).
We use that score to 1/ understand general AI gaps in order to improve it for all customers, and 2/ spot specific workspaces for which AI performs poorly so we can further calibrate them.
It's extremely helpful for us as we can now iterate on our AI logic in an analytical way. But we're about to take it further 👀 We'll make that score available in the app.
That way, teams can track how Cycle's AI performs for their specific use case and compare it to alternatives. They can also see how calibration impacts relevancy over time, doing so building trust in the AI system.
If your AI is not bullshit, you gotta prove it. Be analytical about it. Show don't tell that you're the best AI out there. Go and compute that AI relevancy score!
Sync your @HubSpot customer attributes with @CycleProduct 🚲
MRR, close date, lead status, number of employees, country/region, industry, you name it. Bring them all into Cycle!
This means: better customer profiles in Cycle but also deeper voice-of-customer analyses with filters on your customer attributes.

By now you know that I'm obsessed with the idea of closing the feedback loop.
There's so much untapped revenue potential in your releases... if only you have a strong feedback loop system that lets you get back to folks at each release 👀
It's not a nice-to-have. It's a statement that you care about your customers.
And it's not just your customers btw. In B2B, 70% of product feedback comes from your customer-facing teams. So it's critical to build trust with them too.
It was already possible to close the feedback loop with @CycleProduct but it was not smooth. It required way too many steps.
So we decided to go ahead and re-design a whole new feedback loop experience for y'all ☺️
It's shipping veryyyy soon and it will be a game changer for teams who care about building trust with their customers!
Hope you don't mind the lil' teaser ☺️ stay tuned! 👀
We shipped something huge last week 🙀
It's called Cycle Ask and it's a whole new way to ask questions to your feedback repository.
Want to know what your customers had to say about performance issues last month? Just ask!
Want to get a summary of the feedback you have for one of your top customers? Just ask!
Cycle Ask recognizes the filters in your question, semantically finds the most relevant customer quotes, and gives you a structured answer that you can copy with one click.
There's more. Cycle Ask let's you browse the customer quotes that were used to provide its answer, that way you can drill down into the raw customer context. No black box!
I'm using it all the time on our dogfood instance (🐶) and it's pretty life-changing!
It's in early access, let me know if you want to give it a try!

Write the release note before you ship the feature, not after.
To write a good release note, you have to focus. The release note is meant to hook people. You have to get to the essence of what to ship.
Starting with the release note pushes you to do less but better. It forces you to prioritize. It ultimately helps you ship better, more focused products.
Release notes also serve as a storytelling tool. Storytelling is how you get people to take a leap of faith to do something new.
The story you tell shapes the product you build. A good story is an act of empathy. It recognizes the needs of its audience. Again, it helps you ship better products that make people feel heard.
Writing solid release notes is an underrated product superpower! Write them before shipping if you want to unlock their full potential ✌️
