▮ WHAT 9 HATS ISN'T

9 Hats does not ingest Slack, Intercom, or CRM sources the way Cycle did. It has no customer-facing surface, and it's built for one PM, not a team workspace – the meeting-notes-first slice of what Cycle did.

▮ FAQ

Straight answers.

Is Cycle still available?
No. The standalone Cycle product sunset on October 31, 2025.
What's the official successor?
Jira Product Discovery. Cycle's team joined Atlassian and rebuilt the engine as the Feedback app, bundled with Jira Product Discovery in Atlassian's Product Collection.
Best Cycle alternative for an individual PM?
For one PM working from meeting notes, that's 9 Hats – Triage, Trends, Discovery and tracker export, at €15/mo.
Does 9 Hats pull feedback from Slack or Intercom like Cycle did?
Not the way Cycle did. Cycle continuously ingested Slack and CRM sources; 9 Hats adds a 'Send to 9 Hats' action inside Slack – you pick a message or thread and push it in as a note. Nothing is monitored, nothing syncs in the background. Intercom is not supported. Meeting sources – Google Meet transcripts, Granola, Fathom, Fireflies, or paste – remain the core input.
