What's new at UserVoice

Every idea in UserVoice has a status. Under review, Planned, Started, Completed: each one tells your customers where their request stands, and each one tells your team what to work on next. Until now, seeing those statuses meant scanning a list or opening ideas one at a time.

Today we’re introducing the Idea Status Board, a board view of your ideas arranged in columns by status. It shows the whole pipeline on one screen, and changing an idea’s status is as simple as dragging its card.

See the whole pipeline at once

The Idea Status Board puts each status in its own column, with an idea card for every idea in it. Switch between your public statuses (the ones customers see on your portal) and your internal statuses (the ones your team uses to track work) with a single toggle.

Each card carries the numbers that matter when you prioritize:

• Supporters
• Supporting accounts
• Supporter revenue
• Owner, plus the idea’s labels

Sort every column by supporters, revenue, accounts, or recently moved, and hide the columns you don’t need. Column headers also show when a public status limits what customers can do, such as Comment only or Vote only, so there are no surprises when an idea moves.

Move an idea, close the loop

Drag a card to a new column and the familiar status update panel opens with the new status already picked. Write your update, choose whether to email the idea’s subscribers, and post. It’s the same status update you already know, with the same templates and notification options, just one drag away.

Want to tidy up without emailing anyone? Leave Email subscribers unchecked and the idea moves quietly.

This matters because closing the loop is what keeps a feedback program alive. When customers hear that their request moved to Planned or shipped, they keep sharing what they need. The Idea Status Board makes that update part of the same motion as changing the status, so it doesn’t get skipped.

Organize it your way

Group the board into rows by owner, category, label, or forum to see the pipeline the way your team actually works. Rows aren’t only for looking: drag a card into another owner’s row to reassign it, or into another category or label row to recategorize it. If you change your mind, Undo is right there in the confirmation.

Then narrow the board to exactly the ideas you care about. Filter by:

• Forum, category, owner, and label
• The customer account supporting the idea
• When the status last changed, or when the idea was created
• A keyword search

Filtering by account is especially useful before a customer call or QBR. Pick the account, and the board shows every idea they support and where each one stands.

Share a view with your team

The Idea Status Board remembers your filters, rows, sort, and hidden columns, so it looks the way you left it every time you come back. When you want a teammate to see what you’re seeing, click Share to copy a link to that exact view. Opening a shared link never overwrites your own saved view; you can return to yours or save theirs as your new default.

Teammates who can view ideas but not edit them see the board in view-only mode, so everyone can follow progress without risk of moving something by accident.

Get started

The Idea Status Board is available today for every UserVoice account. In the admin console, open Ideas & Feedback and select the Idea Status Board, next to Idea Lists.

If you’d like a walkthrough of how teams use the Idea Status Board to run their review meetings and close the loop with customers, book a demo and we’ll show you on your own data.

The UserVoice agent and UserVoice MCP are out of beta. Thanks to every team who tried them early and helped up shape the product.

‍

Since launching in June, the agent has grown from answering questions about your feedback into a teammate that does the work with you. Ask about ideas, accounts, and users in plain language, then ask it to log feedback, organize ideas, and keep customers updated. UserVoice MCP brings the same tools to Claude and ChatGPT, so you can work with your feedback wherever you already work.

Close the loop with customers

The agent and MCP can now take an idea all the way from request to update:

• Update public statuses. Move ideas to Planned, Started, Completed, or any of your public statuses. Post the status’s template message, write your own, or post none. Supporters are only emailed when you ask.
• Link ideas to Jira and Azure DevOps. Give the agent an issue key, work item ID, or URL, and it links the idea for you.
• Keep your team in the loop. Internal status changes can include a template or your own message, and the agent emails your team only when you ask.

Keep your feedback clean

• Merge duplicates into a single idea. Supporters are only emailed about the merge when you ask.
• Delete ideas or mark spam without leaving the conversation.

You stay in control

In the agent, nothing changes until you confirm. The confirmation card shows exactly what will change, including the message that will be posted and who will be emailed, and a receipt confirms it afterward. Through MCP, actions only include what your UserVoice admin account is allowed to do, and sites that use SSO sign in through SSO.

Getting started

On plans that include the UserVoice agent, an account owner turns it on in Settings → Integrations → AI Assistants. UserVoice MCP is turned on from the same page.

Learn more at uservoice.com/ai-mcp, how to manage access for your org, and how to get connected.

Finding the right feedback is half the job. The other half is doing something with it: logging what a customer said, routing ideas to the right owner, and keeping things organized. The UserVoice agent and UserVoice MCP can now do that work for you.

‍

Capture feedback where it happens

Tell the agent, or Claude or ChatGPT through MCP, what you heard, and it goes straight into UserVoice:

• Log a new idea for a customer, with their words saved as feedback. The agent checks for similar ideas first so you don’t create duplicates.
• Add a customer’s quote or vote to an idea that already exists.
• Flag ideas as important, with a reason.
• Add ideas to a list or remove them, or save a set of ideas as a new list.

‍

Keep ideas organized

Add or remove labels, update internal status with a note, assign owners, and edit an idea’s title, description, or category. You can do this one idea at a time or across many ideas at once.

‍

You stay in control

In the agent, nothing changes until you confirm. Every change shows a confirmation card first and a receipt afterward. Through MCP, actions run inside your AI tool’s conversation, and they only include what your UserVoice admin account is allowed to do.

‍

Ask about the account fields you already track

The agent and MCP can now filter and report on the custom account fields you sync from your CRM. Try “Which accounts renewing in the next 90 days support ideas we haven’t planned?” Relative dates like “in the last 30 days” or “next quarter” work too.

‍

Starter prompts in the agent

Not sure what to ask? Pick from a library of ready-made questions for revenue, triage, accounts, and prioritization, and fill in the blanks.

Your feedback data shouldn’t be stuck in one tab. With UserVoice MCP, you can work with your ideas, accounts, and users directly in the AI tools you already use, such as Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Codex.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect securely to the apps where your data lives. Connect UserVoice once, then ask questions in your AI tool:

• Find the ideas that matter. “What are our top requested ideas from enterprise accounts?” or “What has Acme asked for this year?”
• Understand who’s asking. Look up accounts, users, and labels, and see which customers are behind each idea.
• Jump straight back to UserVoice. Ideas come back with links to open them in your admin console.
• Make updates without switching tools. Admins with permission to edit feedback can also update ideas from their AI tool.

Secure by design. You connect with a secure sign-in and a clear consent screen that shows exactly what you’re approving. Your AI tool sees only your workspace and only what your admin role allows.

‍

The UserVoice MCP is available now in a limited beta.

Your feedback holds answers, but finding them usually means building filters, exporting to spreadsheets, and reading ideas one at a time. The UserVoice agent lives directly in your UserVoice admin console alongside your ideas and feedback.

Ask questions in plain language and get answers built from your ideas, accounts, and users:

• Get the ideas themselves, not a summary. Ask “What is Acme asking for?” or “Show me the oldest open ideas with no recent activity” and get a table of ideas you can sort by any column and save as a list.
• Find the themes. The agent groups a set of ideas into clear, named themes. Drill into any theme to explore workarounds, open questions, and the value of solving it.
• Break it down. Ask “How many ideas did we get by month?” or “Break down open ideas by category” and get a real breakdown table.
• It knows who you are. “Ideas assigned to me” and “ideas I created” just work.
• Stay in context. Click any idea to open it in a panel beside the chat, with tabs for Supporters, Contributors, and Roadmaps.

The UserVoice agent is available now in beta.

We've made it easier to ensure every Idea has an owner from the start. You can now set a default assigned admin for Ideas, so new submissions are automatically routed to the right person without any manual steps.
This means no more unowned Ideas slipping through the cracks. Your team can stay organized and responsive from the moment feedback comes in.
Here's what's new:

• Default Idea Owner: Designate a specific admin to be automatically assigned to all newly created Ideas, keeping ownership clear and accountability built in from day one
• Flexible Assignment: Set your default at the forum or category level, so the right admin is automatically assigned based on where the Idea is submitted, perfect for teams where ownership varies by product area or topic
• Seamless Routing: Skip the manual triage. Incoming Ideas land with the right admin immediately, so nothing gets missed

‍

We’ve refreshed the Supporter View to make it faster and easier to see exactly who is backing an Idea. Now, you can quickly scan Users, Accounts, and Opportunities, in a clearer, more organized layout.

We've also added two powerful new features to help you prioritize with confidence:

• Group By: Segment supporters by license type to differentiate admins and end users‍
• Impact Rollups: See the combined impact (e.g., total revenue, number of open Opportunities) of each segment so you can prioritize based on the metrics that matter most.

Idea Lists, Idea Impact Reports, and Theme Reports now each have their own dedicated landing pages! This makes it easier than ever to view, manage, and share your critical prioritization data.

‍

We’re working on our first automatic feedback-ingestion flow for Zendesk, and we’d love your help to make it awesome.

Share a sample of your Zendesk tickets so we can:

• Test the importer with real-world data.
• Catch tricky edge cases early.
• Make sure the insights actually match what you care about.

Don’t worry — your data stays safe, nothing is used for model training, and we’ll share what we learn so you can see the feature in action. If you’re open to participating, please get in touch!

Assigning idea owners just got simpler! Managing responsibility is now faster from several key locations:

• Idea Detail Page: Add or change the assigned admin right from the top.
• Slack: Assign ideas without leaving your workspace.
• Grid View: Filter, search, and bulk assign with ease.
• Idea Insights: Filter reports to see ideas assigned specifically to you.
