Dovetail Integration to auto-import your research projects so the impact of your insights gets captured
Connect your Dovetail account to BragBook and import your completed research projects across all your workspaces. Related projects and synthesis sessions are automatically grouped together so a research initiative that spanned multiple studies shows up as one comprehensive body of work. Before saving, BragBook's AI rewrites your internal documentation into polished, impact-focused statements that highlight the decisions your research informed and the outcomes it drove.
How It Works
BragBook connects to your Dovetail account through a secure login and pulls in the research projects you have worked on. You pick a time period and BragBook fetches your completed research across all your workspaces. Related projects are automatically grouped together so a research initiative that spanned multiple studies and synthesis sessions shows up as one comprehensive body of work instead of scattered individual projects.
You scroll through the results, select the ones that represent significant research efforts, and import them. Each entry includes the original project details and a direct link back to Dovetail. Before saving, BragBook's AI rewrites your research titles and descriptions from internal documentation language into polished, impact-focused statements that highlight the decisions your research informed and the outcomes it drove.
Instead of "Q3 onboarding usability study" you get something like "led a user research initiative that identified critical friction points in the onboarding experience, directly informing a redesign that improved new user activation." The insights were already driving decisions behind the scenes. BragBook just makes sure you get credit for them.

Why It Matters
Research is some of the most influential work in a product organization and also the most undervalued when it comes to career progression. You spent weeks running interviews, synthesizing findings, and presenting insights that changed the direction of a product, but all that lives inside Dovetail where only your immediate team ever sees it. The rest of the company just knows that "the team decided to pivot the onboarding flow" without any idea that your research is what made that call possible.
BragBook pulls that work out of Dovetail and frames it the way it deserves to be framed. Instead of internal project names and study labels, you get a clear record that connects your research to the product decisions it informed and the outcomes it drove. The insights were already valuable. BragBook just makes sure that value is visible.

You pick a time period, scroll through your completed research, and select exactly which projects to import. BragBook never adds anything to your timeline without your approval.
Who This Is For
The Dovetail integration is built for UX researchers, product designers, product managers, and anyone who conducts user research as part of their role. If you are running studies, interviewing users, or synthesizing findings in Dovetail, your brag document should reflect that work without requiring you to write it all down separately.
Whether you are preparing for a review, building a promotion case, or just want to make sure your research contributions are visible, the Dovetail integration turns completed projects into professional impact statements with zero manual entry.
Your Data, Your Control
BragBook connects to Dovetail through a secure OAuth login and only requests read access to your research projects. It never modifies your studies, changes your workspace, or alters anything in your Dovetail account. The connection is read-only and you can disconnect at any time from your BragBook settings.
Nothing gets added to BragBook without your explicit approval. You review every entry before it saves, edit anything you want, and skip anything that is not worth keeping. Your data stays yours and BragBook is just a tool for surfacing it.
