Solutions for product managers
Clear the customization backlog.
Your backlog is full of layout requests. “Can you add a column.” “Can we see this as a chart.” “Can you group by region.” These aren't features. They're view preferences. Let users handle them.

One backlog. PMs and engineers each shape their view.
The problem
Half your sprint planning is spent on UI customization. Not features. Not architecture. Layout variants.
Backlog full of “show this data differently” tickets.
Every user segment wants a different default view.
Sprint planning dominated by dashboard customization, not real features.
How ShapeKit fits
Ship the data layer. Define your data model, business rules, and core views. Deploy without predicting every layout variant.
Users shape what they see. They describe the view they want. Columns rearranged, charts swapped, filters applied. No ticket filed. No sprint interrupted.
Your backlog shrinks. Customization requests drop. Your sprints focus on features that actually need engineering.
What you get
Backlog focused on real features
Layout requests disappear. Your team ships product, not variants.
Usage data for roadmap decisions
See which views users create. Know what matters to them without guessing.
Faster iteration cycles
Ship a base view. Users reshape it. You learn what works. Iterate on signal, not assumptions.
Common questions
Can I control what's shapeable?
Yes. You define constraints per skill. Lock down data integrity and business logic. Users only shape what you allow.
What analytics do I get?
You see which views users create, which skills get reshaped most, and where users get stuck. Real product signal.
Does it work with our existing app?
ShapeKit skills embed into your app. You don't rebuild. You add shapeable components alongside your existing UI.
How do users actually reshape things?
They click the Shape button and describe what they want. AI generates the view within your constraints. No settings menus. No configuration panels.
Get your backlog back. Ship features, not layouts.
Let users shape their own views. Your team focuses on what actually needs engineering.
