Narratize is a product innovation platform designed to accelerate time-to-market, streamlineStageGate and agile development processes, and deliver impactful results by empowering teams and organizations to innovate faster and align seamlessly.

Narratize is an AI platform designed to guide products from ideation through market launch. It is built on the foundation of structured knowledge management.

The platform's primary goal is to accelerate product innovation, helping organizations bring superior products and discoveries to market faster, smarter, and with greater impact. It aims to address the challenges faced by product innovation teams, such as being bogged down in documentation instead of innovation, scattered knowledge, knowledge loss during handoffs, and stalled ideas.

Narratize functions as an intelligent orchestration system, acting like a central nervous system for product innovation. It intelligently coordinates AI capabilities throughout the product development lifecycle. 

The platform architecture includes several layers:
‍
‍Innovation Orchestration Layer (Cerebrum): This is an intelligent reasoning engine that coordinates activities, enables complex decision-making, and problem-solving throughout the lifecycle. It helps teams understand innovation context, retrieve precise knowledge, plan actions, drive documentation automation, and automate workflows.
‍
‍Agentic AI Layer: This layer provides purpose-built intelligence for product innovation with role-based capabilities. These features work together, sharing insights and building on each other's outputs to create a seamless development experience4. These capabilities are also referred to as Agentic AI Innovation Workflows.
‍
‍Integration Layer: Provides seamless connections to existing product development ecosystems, including PLM/PDM systems, R&D management software, regulatory compliance tools, market research databases, documentation systems (like Notion, Confluence), and CAD/engineering software. A no-code Integration Builder is also available.

‍Interface Layer: An intuitive control center for product teams to build knowledge and activate capabilities.

A core component of Narratize is the Product Knowledge Hubs™. These serve as a single source of truth for everyone involved in product innovation. They centralize knowledge for specific products or projects and evolve with team contributions, preserving institutional knowledge.

Users can add insights, query, search, chat, generate, edit, review, and approve information within these hubs. Narratize also includes Product Knowledge Hub Groups for portfolio management and Individual Knowledge Hubs as personal workspaces for users to brainstorm and refine ideas before integrating them into team hubs.

The platform offers a variety of Agentic AI Innovation Workflows and capabilities to support product development:
Knowledge Capture: Interviews experts to document critical knowledge
Documentation Automation: Generates documentation from verified sources
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Streamlines handoffs between teams
Market Intelligence: Analyzes market data, feedback, and competition to inform strategy

Yes, small teams can begin with the Product-tier rollout, accelerating documentation and collaboration workflows for specific projects while laying the foundation for scaling up.

Follow these steps:
1. Get started immediately with a knowledge hub and team of users
2. Define success metrics (e.g., time savings, improved deliverables) to evaluate your Narratize success
3. Scale gradually to additional hubs and teams, eventually unlocking whole portfolio intelligence

Narratize uses a pay-as-you-grow model. It costs $720 per user per year and $6000 per knowledge hub per year. Most of our customers create a hub for every product they have in the market and every new product they're actively developing.

All users get access to a personal workspace, where they can work on projects, ideas, and early stage product concepts privately before they become official knowledge hubs shared with others in your company.

Our team at Narratize loves working with you to create the best hub structure based on your team's ways of doing work. We're happy to provide custom agents, workflows, and templates from our team of AI engineers and narrative scientists as well as integrate with platforms and systems important to your work. Narratize is proud to offer enterprise discounts as we scale value across your organization.

Narratize offers different licensing tiers:
Individual: Dedicated workspace for professionals to brainstorm and work independently
Product Teams: Unlocks Product Knowledge Hubs™ for cross-functional collaboration, centralized knowledge, automated workflows, AI-assisted documentation, smart prompts, and integrations
Enterprise Product Portfolio Management (PPM): Provides strategic oversight for organizations managing multiple products, enabling cross-product insights, standardized practices, automated compliance tracking, portfolio visibility, market opportunity monitoring, risk mitigation, and advanced analytics

Organizations are recommended to start small with a Product-level rollout to validate success before scaling to the Enterprise PPM Tier. This low-risk mode allows teams to start small, validate success with a handful of teams, and expand gradually based on proven outcomes.
