The PM's Information Challenge

Product managers are information brokers. You're synthesizing customer feedback, competitive intelligence, technical constraints, and business requirements—then translating it all into specs that engineers can build and stakeholders can understand. The context is overwhelming, and it changes daily.

PM Pain Points:

User research scattered across interviews, surveys, and support tickets
Spec writing takes hours of gathering context
Stakeholder updates require re-explaining decisions and context
Competitive analysis is time-consuming to maintain
Product history and decisions live in people's heads, not searchable docs

How Elephas Empowers PMs

Elephas becomes your product knowledge system. Import user research, roadmap documents, past specs, and competitive intelligence. Query across everything instantly, generate spec drafts from research, and maintain institutional knowledge that doesn't walk out the door.

User Research Synthesis

Import interview transcripts, survey responses, and support feedback. Ask "What are users' top complaints about onboarding?" and get synthesized insights with citations.

Spec Generation

Point Elephas at your research and requirements. Generate spec drafts that incorporate user needs, technical constraints, and success metrics—all grounded in your actual data.

Institutional Memory

Store product decisions, past specs, and roadmap context. New team members (or forgetful PMs) can ask "Why did we decide X?" and get the real history.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Notion AI or Dovetail?

Elephas works across all your tools—not just within one app. Import research from anywhere (Dovetail exports, interview transcripts, survey data) and query across everything. Write specs in Notion, Linear, or Confluence with the same AI context.

Can I share my product Brain with the team?

You can export Brains and share them with teammates. Each PM can have their own Elephas setup while sharing common research and documentation.

What about sensitive product roadmaps?

Use local AI models via Ollama for complete privacy. Roadmaps, strategy docs, and unreleased feature specs never leave your Mac.

How do I handle large amounts of research?

Elephas handles extensive document collections. Import hundreds of interview transcripts or survey responses. The AI synthesizes across everything when you ask questions.

Can Elephas write user stories?

Yes. Ask Elephas to generate user stories based on your research. It pulls from actual user feedback to write stories grounded in real needs, complete with acceptance criteria.
