Aha! Ideas uses AI to make sense of feedback at volume. Elle visualizes the themes running through your portal, analyzes a set of linked ideas for revenue and use cases, and flags likely duplicates before they turn into duplicate work. This article breaks down what AI functionality is available in Aha! Ideas.

AI-powered idea and theme suggestions
Staying on top of feedback trends is an important part of idea management. And though you are rarely short on feedback to analyze, you might be short on time. Get an understanding of what type of ideas are trending in your ideas portal without hours of manual work — use the power of generative AI to visualize themes across your ideas. Research ideas for new functionality, explore feedback themes, and find similar requests so you can gain the insights you need to build more lovable products.Read more about AI-powered idea exploration.
AI idea analysis
Use Elle to quickly analyze linked ideas and surface essential insights — like potential revenue and top use cases — so you can identify user needs and drive business value. Elle reviews titles, descriptions, comments, and votes in your Research tab to generate a structured analysis in a workspace note (which is automatically accessible in the Concepts section).
Similar idea detection
Use AI-powered similar idea detection to manage feedback more efficiently. Quickly spot ideas with potential duplicates, then merge them together to consolidate everything — keeping your feedback organized and saving time for more strategic work.

Each prompt is unique and it is not possible to know ahead of time how credits will be used, but the table below gives general guidelines.

To prompt efficiently, be specific in your requests, set a target output length, generate an outline before moving into a draft, and refine sections selectively by highlighting text. The AI prompt library helps you build prompts that are well defined and efficient for repeated tasks.
