About Userback
Userback adds AI theme analysis and MCP, shifting from feedback collector to feedback intelligence layer
Userback has shipped a consistent stream of new capabilities since early 2026, anchored by two structural moves: Userback Insights (AI-driven automatic theme analysis, April) and MCP integration (also April), which together made user feedback automatically categorized and accessible to AI toolchains. A mobile SDK launched in April and gained survey capability in August, closing the gap between mobile and web collection. The platform now spans web feedback, mobile collection, video recording with transcription, Slack-sourced feedback, and AI-powered pattern detection.
