Hi everyone 👋
I’m Sebastian, one of the founders of Collato. We’re building the AI search engine for product teams — think of it as ChatGPT but with your work apps.
We’re so excited to finally launch on Product Hunt–big thank you to @chrismessina for hunting us and providing invaluable product advice along the way!
🎉 To share our excitement, we’re offering a 90-day free trial for the next 48 hours.
We believe we’ve built the solution to THE PROBLEM of today's remote, information-loaded, fast-moving, and tool-swamped way of working:
❓How can employees find the information they need without spending hours in alignment meetings or searching across dozens of tools❓
Meet Collato: Your product team's collective brain. We built Collato to give product managers one space to make information instantly accessible to anyone on their team who needs it.
Instead of having artifacts, documents, or information buried across tools (McKinsey says employees waste 1.8 hours searching for information every day 🤯), you can drop them into your knowledge map 🕸 where they’ll be connected and organized. Stakeholders can get instant, human-like answers to any product-related questions. 🪄
Originally built on OpenAI, we’ve now built an in-house semantic search engine based on state-of-the-art AI models. This allows us to be more reliable, scalable, faster, and meet German data regulations. 💪
Use cases
Collato can answer questions about your product, help you build a searchable knowledge base, and streamline onboarding. Here are some more ways to use Collato:
🔍 Product discovery and delivery: Collato provides a bird’s eye view of tasks and instantly organizes your product docs, so you don’t have to jump from one tool to another.
📑 Structure user research: Connect user insights and market trends to make user-centric product decisions with all the answers at your fingertips.
💡 Project wiki: Our AI-powered search gives stakeholders instant answers to project-related questions, with automated summaries providing detailed context at a glance.
🧠 Magnify your product smarts: Structure your product research and make data-driven decisions with ease. Quickly detect the patterns that matter most, so you can build world-class products.
Coming soon
Get answers in Slack
Integrate Collato’s search engine into Slack. Team members can ask any question and get instant, bite-sized answers without ever leaving the tool.
Connect from your browser
Build your knowledge map without ever switching tabs. Turn information from the web into accessible knowledge in seconds.
Integrating more apps & formats
We currently support integrations with Google Drive, Confluence, Figma, Jira, and Miro, and we’re currently working on Notion and PDF files. Drop us a comment in the thread if you have any favorites for us to build soon!
Give Collato a try, and please let us know what you think in the comments!

@chrismessina @sebabytes Been waiting so long for this! Collato genuinely brings so much joy and ease to my work. My favorite part? It saves me time so I can spend it actually connecting, innovating, and being creative with my coworkers.
Here's more reasons to love:
⚡️ Gives your team instant (and secure) access to relevant information from all of your tools.
🔎 Helps you find everything in one place – instead of manually searching through cluttered tools.
🍦 Provides you with instant, bite-sized answers from our AI-powered search to any project-related questions.
@chrismessina @sebabytes
Add one more use case! ☝️ Getting instant answers to be extra sharp for launch day 💅
Prior to today, our team compiled our collective knowledge documents, spreadsheet, product FAQs so everyone is aligned and ready to answer YOUR burning question accurately and quickly.
@chrismessina @sebabytes
It's finally out in the world!!! 🎉
🤫 Don't tell anyone, but I even use it to organize our internal info, culture content, and working agreements to make it easily findable for everyone on the team. I guess who they are asking all these questions now?
Should add PDF option. That would be a game changer if we can upload all tax pdf ;)
@angelcontable Ah! Love imagining all the possibilities 💡 Thank you for this lovely consideration!
@angelcontable Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Keep the feature request coming our way - we will make sure to look into them! :)
Looks like an impressive collaboration tool! I love how it brings everything together in one platform.
@jonbstrong Thank you Jonathan, such an uplifting comment 😊 we're looking forward to your feedback if you find some time today to try it out 🙌🏼
@jonbstrong Thank you! ❤️ We think that kind of flexibility is key. Which toolstack do you current work with?
@jonbstrong Glad you like it - we've been working hard to make collaboration as smooth as gelato 🍦
@ivo_scherkamp @sebabytes @rogrenke Can you believe that I get to build with these awesome peeps!? I pinch myself every day. Let us know what you think.
@ivo_scherkamp @sebabytes @rogrenke Happy to hear! 🙌🏼 Tell us what you think when you've had a chance to try it!
@bernardamus Thanks for your feedback 🙏 Our immediate priorities are expanding our capabilities and integrations within product management tools — but we're also keeping track of tools to integrate beyond that, based on user data. Let us know what else you would like to see us integrate!
@bernardamus So exciting to imagine the possibilities that Collato can grow into 🤸♀️✨ How do you imagine Collato to alleviate the pains in the support software space?
@sebabytes I guess it can be an interesting solution for the sales representatives or for the support team. It could be useful to search for a contact (via email or name/surname) and get all the available info across different platforms where there are records: the Help portal (Freshdesk), the main CRM (Hubspot) , the Customer Success / App tracking tools (https://www.successeve.com/) . Then instead of hoping from tool to tool, you could search all the info with one click.
@sebabytes @bernardamus Duly noted! And oof - I can imagine how painful it feels to try to pull together the complete customer profile based on these different sources.
So crazy to think that structuring/processing wide array of information is so difficult with this multi-tool environment 🙈.
Thank you for elaborating, my friend! We'll take it into consideration 🙌
@kevinnatanzon Thanks! We're excited to share our new product with everyone. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? It's packed with some really amazing features that we think you'll love!
this looks fun! what's the single best search use case you've found? (ie. whats the fastest way to Aha?)
@muellaire I think this answer varies from person to person. For me personally, it was being able to ask questions related to a Jira issue. For example, what is the status of x feature, or who is responsible for x.
@muellaire For best semantic search results, it begins with the richness and quality of the content you add to your map!
How the semantic search works is that the model develops an understanding of what you're searching for and offers results based on how close the proximity the content's context matches the meaning.
It helps a lot when you appropriately use headers :)
If you're looking for statuses/assignees/other fields for Jira issues, you can ask that in the search engine too 😉
Internally, we use this to fuse different floating articles together. From user discovery talks, to product concept ideations, different design iterations, engineering tasks and implementation logics. Connections help fuse the perspectives together.
@muellaire Also, if you have more use cases in mind, please share with us, we can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Congratulations on your launch! I'm amazed by the power of Collato's AI-powered semantic search; it will revolutionize the way teams collaborate!
@usamaejaz So cool to read your thoughts! This is part of our mission of shaping the future of work! 😻
Collato seems like a game-changer for teams! No more wasted time searching for information across multiple apps. Love the AI-powered search feature. Can't wait to give it a try!

Congrats on the launch Collato team! The product looks 🔥 so far! This is something I have been looking for as a founder, being one search away from the data scattered across many tools. Love the simplicity of the search canvas. Having more integrations in the future will make this essential. Keep up the great work! 💪
@kostandinangjellari O-o-over the moon to read your comment and so excited that you love our product as much as we do! 😻 SImplicity is one of our core values and more integrations are soon to come - stay tuned, you'll be one of the first to know!🎉

Having a collective knowledge-base is such an important thing. I'm so glad this problem is being solved! Congrats on your launch :D
@_rakshithravi_ Thank you so very much - we truly hope this will solve the problem of scattered information for our users! Have you tried it out yet? 🤩
