Just click on the bot to trigger the slide-out and see the results. You can then review any related ideas or feedback to group them together. Users also have the option to take any content from connected ideas, or to merge duplicates together. If an idea comes up that is irrelevant to what you are currently working on then mark it as unrelated and the slide out will disappear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ideas.png\" alt=\"Related content for Ideas\" class=\"wp-image-7054\" width=\"452\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ideas.png 844w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ideas-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ideas-768x655.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If the feedback presented supports the idea, just select the link icon. The pieces of feedback can be linked to the idea via the button. Like before, you also have the option to dismiss any pieces of unrelated feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/feedback.png\" alt=\"Related content for feedback\" class=\"wp-image-7055\" width=\"436\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/feedback.png 848w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/feedback-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/feedback-768x594.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-do-i-need-dotbot-in-my-life\">Why do I need DotBot in my life?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can use DotBot\u2019s intelligence to identify any dependencies based on similar items, perhaps highlight areas to prioritize, and get a better idea of their product\u2019s performance based on similar customer feedback. Essentially, it helps you and your product people keep on top of the more important work, while they keep an eye out for duplicates to merge or dots to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-mentioned-duplication\">You mentioned duplication?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, product managers have a lot on their plates. They are simply not going to know every single item stored in their product management software. DotBot can act as a backup, and help you see any unneeded duplicate ideas or pieces of customer feedback &#8211; which might have gone under the radar. Our bot is here to help you keep things clean; freeing up your time to focus on things that are more important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-dotbot-do-all-this\">How does DotBot do all this?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our bot works using natural language processing and machine learning. This is a function of AI, and part of a series of ongoing developments that you&#8217;ll see rolled out across ProdPad in the future.<br>It applies weights to the content in your account\u2019s ideas and feedback. Through this it gains an understanding of what is relevant before determining significant words in the text from the idea you are currently viewing. Once completed, the DotBot will attempt to discover particular ideas and feedback that are deemed relative to the current idea being viewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready for a tool to help you keep your backlog tidy, then <a href=\"https:\/\/app.prodpad.com\/signup\">start a free trial<\/a> with ProdPod, today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-ll-also-like-this\">You\u2019ll also like this<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/blog\/offline-mode\/\">offline mode<\/a> allows you to work from anywhere in the world without the need for an internet connection.
