Coming from Condens

65% entity overlap

Import

GDPR-compliant research, structurally near-identical to Dovetail, with insights connected forward into the product graph.

The structural finding

Condens is purpose-built for European teams that need GDPR-compliant research storage. Its entity model maps near-perfectly to UPG's user_research domain: Project = research_study, Note = observation, Highlight = quote, Cluster = affinity_cluster, Insight = insight. The integration adds the one missing step, the `insight_informs_opportunity` edge, connecting your research to every other tool in the product stack while keeping raw transcript content in Condens.

What UPG adds

1

Insights become traceable forward: `insight_informs_opportunity` closes the gap between research and product decisions.

2

GDPR-compliant research connects to the product graph: European teams get the research→product chain without sacrificing data residency.

3

Research accretes into personas: each observation builds a richer picture of who the user is via `insight_characterises_persona`.

How to import your Condens data

Via the CLI (coming soon)

The Condens adapter is built and tested. A one-command import via the UPG CLI is in development:

npx unified-product-graph import --from condens

This will fetch your Condens data, map entity types automatically, and write everything to your graph. Today you can use the Markdown import or the adapter directly in code.

▸ For developers: use the adapter directly
import { CondensAdapter } from '@unified-product-graph/adapters'
// Pass pre-fetched Condens data as SourceItem[]
const adapter = new CondensAdapter()
const result = await adapter.convert(items)
// result.nodes → typed UPG entities
// result.edges → canonical relationships
// result.warnings → items needing review

Get started

The Condens adapter ships in @unified-product-graph/adapters. Install it, then run the import command.

# one-time install
$ npm install -g unified-product-graph

# then import
$ upg import --from notion
