Ask Circuit

Ask Circuit is an in-app AI assistant. Ask it questions about your feedback, priorities and specs — it searches across your workspace and answers in plain language.

Opening Ask Circuit

Click the Ask Circuit button in the top-right header. It opens as a floating panel without leaving your current view.

What You Can Ask

Ask Circuit searches your actual workspace data — not generic product docs.

About your feedback:

  • "What are customers saying about the checkout flow?"
  • "How many people mentioned performance this month?"
  • "What's the most common complaint from enterprise customers?"

About priorities:

  • "What's our highest-priority bug right now?"
  • "Are there any priorities related to onboarding?"
  • "What's been parked and why?"

About specs:

  • "What does the spec for dark mode say to build?"
  • "Show me the Done When criteria for the CSV import spec"
  • "Have we shipped anything related to notifications before?"

About your history:

  • "What did we ship last quarter?"
  • "Which customer segment drives most of our feature requests?"

How It Works

Ask Circuit uses retrieval-augmented search across your feedback, priorities, specs and activity log. It doesn't generate answers from scratch — it finds relevant content in your workspace and surfaces it. Responses stream in as it works.

Feedback on Responses

After each response, give a quick thumbs up or down. This helps improve the quality of future answers.
