About Aha!
Aha! Builder is reshaping the product — prototypes, databases, and an MCP server land in the same week.
Aha! is shipping at a daily cadence and pushing in two directions simultaneously. First, the Builder surface is being fleshed out into a full prototype-and-validate environment: built-in databases with preview/production split, in-app feedback widgets, prototypes saved as records linked to product work, AI-assisted feature mockups. Second, AI is being layered across the existing PM workflow — an MCP server that exposes Aha! data to Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot; AI-built customer-insights reports; AI-assisted roadmap presentations. A new HubSpot integration on the Ideas side rounds out the recent moves.
