Jun 18, 2025

Overview

Smith Chat is an AI assistant that lives in a slide‑out panel inside Product Forge. It’s purpose‑built for Product Managers: it already understands your product, personas, and Backlog context, so you can skip lengthy prompts and jump straight to outcomes—user stories, research insights, roadmap plans, and more.

What Can Smith Chat Do? (With Examples)

1. Write user stories in seconds Simply prompt Smith with something like "Draft a user story for uploading profile photos on mobile" and it will generate a complete user story format using your product’s context and user persona. In addition to single story generation, Smith can build out multiple stories from a single message.

2. Impersonate personas for fast research Get instant persona feedback by asking Smith to act as a specific user. Try "Act as my persona and list top pain-points in our checkout flow" to receive authentic feedback.

3. Critique & refine stories Submit any user story for review with a prompt like "Review the story below for INVEST quality". Smith will analyze the story and provide detailed feedback, highlighting areas like specificity in acceptance criteria.

4. Strategic competitive research Get comprehensive competitive analysis by asking Smith to compare specific features across platforms. A prompt like "Compare three competitors' onboarding flows for B2B SaaS" will yield a detailed breakdown of strengths, weaknesses, and unique approaches.

5. Product planning Plan your sprints efficiently by asking Smith to help organize deliverables. With a prompt like "Lay out a 2-sprint plan to ship the new analytics dashboard", you'll get a structured plan covering everything from initial data schema to final UI polish.
