## Description

Craft.io connects your product management account to any AI agent and simplifies how you coordinate your product strategy, manage features, and monitor roadmaps through natural conversation. Instead of jumping between browser tabs to check the status of a specific epic or digging through nested folders to find a feature's requirements, you can just ask your agent to pull that information for you. This connection turns your product data into a live, searchable knowledge base. You can get a bird's-eye view of your high-level portfolio distribution or drill down into the granular details of a single user story without leaving your chat window. 

The experience is about moving away from manual data entry and toward active management. You can ask your agent to list all active workspaces, create new items in your backlog, or even research company data like news and competitors to inform your strategy. It handles the heavy lifting of querying your workspace so you can stay focused on making decisions. Because Vinkius makes it easy to connect these types of tools, you can get your environment set up in minutes. You get a conversational link to your product's source of truth, making it easier to keep your team aligned on what needs to be built next.
