# Cycle

> Cycle was a Paris-based software company that built an AI-powered feedback hub for product teams. It pulled customer feedback out of scattered tools - Slack, Intercom, Zendesk, Gong, sales calls and support tickets - auto-tagged and grouped it by feature, and connected those insights straight to the product roadmap so teams could decide what was actually worth building. Founded in 2019 by Mehdi Boudoukhane with the startup studio Hexa (formerly eFounders), it raised $6M in seed funding and served product-led companies like Brex, Qonto, Alan and Alma before being acquired by Atlassian in September 2025 to power Jira Product Discovery.
