The biggest messaging release yet, built to make Kavanah chat a full home for your team's conversations. Sending is now dramatically faster — messages post in a fraction of the time, even in large channels, and delivery to everyone else's screen is snappier and more reliable. Emoji reactions are here: hover any message to react from a searchable picker, see who reacted, and tap to toggle — everyone in the chat sees it. Private channels and group chats now have real member management: add people, remove them, or leave, right from the member list, and channels can be created with members already in them. You can now edit your own messages in group chats and channels, paste a screenshot or drag files straight into the conversation to attach them, and half-written drafts survive switching conversations. Links you share unfurl into rich previews, scheduled messages to groups and channels now deliver, and app-icon badges got smarter everywhere: muted chats no longer keep the badge lit, switching accounts no longer shows the wrong count, web and Android now show unread counts, and quiet hours keep your badge current without making a sound.

Group and team chats now show who's inside: the member count in the chat header is clickable and opens the full member list. Message threads open as a proper side panel next to the conversation instead of breaking the layout. And if you're signed into more than one account, the account switcher now shows an unread badge on each of your other accounts — the same count as the app-icon badge (messages, inbox, and notifications across all workspaces) — so you know at a glance when another account needs attention.

The docs are now split into a User Guide and a dedicated Developer API section. The Full API Reference lists every endpoint — 976 across 78 resource groups, generated straight from the OpenAPI contract so it never drifts from the deployed API — with one-click copy buttons on every endpoint, every resource group, and the whole list, formatted for pasting straight into an AI agent. The complete machine-readable spec is published at kavanah.ai/openapi.yaml for Swagger UI, typed-client generation, and linting — no repo access needed.

A production-transcript review drove a deep reliability pass on the AI agent. Scheduled runs now either execute with real workspace data or fail loudly — a schedule that can't run its tools notifies its owner, retries on its normal cadence, and auto-disables after five consecutive failures instead of silently posting nothing; duplicate firings are gone; and digests must deliver their full content in-thread with explicit delivery confirmations. Web search stays up through an automatic fallback provider, a broken Google connection now alerts you once with a Reconnect shortcut, and the agent can read uploaded Word documents directly. New judgment standards make the agent hold positions under pushback, never endorse material it couldn't read, and flag every unverified number in outward-facing drafts. Plus: a workspace company profile the agent maintains (address, EIN, key facts), a confirmation preview before bulk edits touching more than 25 tasks, a security fix pinning API keys to their workspace across the entire messages surface, and the full bug-report backlog (#4–#18) verified fixed and resolved.

Sign-up, login, password reset, verification resends, the client-portal login, and the contact form are now shielded by invisible bot detection (Vercel BotID) that turns away automated abuse without ever showing you a CAPTCHA. It works alongside the existing per-IP and per-email rate limits and email verification, so real people sign in exactly as before while scripted sign-up and credential-stuffing attempts are stopped at the door.
July 10, 2026
The agent's knowledge retrieval now spans all nine knowledge surfaces with query-relevant snippets and real weighted search, and it can save a chat into the knowledge base as a structured document, search its own conversation history, and import Drive files into Knowledge. ClearBooks reaches full API coverage — including an admin-only bridge to ClearBooks' own AI accounting agent. The Email Inbox's Gmail tab now works with either backend (AngelSend bridge or native Google OAuth), markdown renders correctly across every chat surface, and failed credit charges are clearly labeled "Not charged" so your balance and activity always agree.
July 9, 2026
A capability audit closed ~110 gaps between the app and the AI agent: nine new tool groups (task intelligence, dev data, knowledge AI, reports, productivity, chat, workspace ops, RBAC, and planning analytics) bring the agent to 812 tools. The agent can now read Kavanah's published docs and Help Center, so "how do I…?" questions are answered from the real documentation. The MCP server gains API-key auth plus ask_kavanah_agent — external agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can converse with your workspace's agent directly. New argument-level security guardrails add hard rules and approval checks on risky actions.
July 8, 2026
Ask the agent to "email me every morning what I should work on" and it happens: schedule recurring autonomous runs (from chat or Settings → AI Agent) that execute with a safety-filtered toolset, and a new My Daily Digest report — overdue, due today, due soon, in progress — that can be delivered on a schedule as email, CSV, PDF, or Markdown. AI-composed emails now render Markdown properly, and international subject lines are encoded correctly.
July 7, 2026
Microsoft Teams joins the connector lineup alongside Microsoft 365. Scrappy.gg and MultiverseAI reach complete tool coverage with corrected capability scopes, and background syncs no longer flag a connection as failed on a transient database timeout.
July 7, 2026
The AI agent becomes a standing operator. It remembers decisions, commitments, and preferences across conversations; tracks a waiting-on ledger of who owes what by when (and knows when to escalate instead of re-nudge); and follows runbooks — your SOPs as ordered steps with human checkpoints. Admins govern it with per-category action policies (allow, daily budget, approve, or block), a full action ledger with a weekly self-report, and escalation policies with quiet hours. Plus goals/OKRs with automatic variance alerts, meeting-transcript ingestion that extracts decisions and action items into tasks, budget-vs-actual finance analysis, and Jira workflow transitions.

Kavanah now runs on iOS and Android as native Tauri 2 shells around the same web app — same features, same data, native container. Microphone, camera, and photo-library permissions are wired so voice mode, file uploads, and voice-to-task work end-to-end. Push notifications, biometrics, and deep links are on the roadmap.
June 2, 2026
Connect a ClearBooks bookkeeping account with a per-user cb_ API key. The AI agent gets 25 ClearBooks tools — invoices, payments, customers, vendors, bills, ACH, journals, bank accounts, GL codes, cap table, metrics, forecasts — gated behind the new Finance persona scope. Sync mirrors invoices, customers, and transactions into the integration cache.
June 1, 2026
/admin/super → Metrics now ships North-Star cards (MRR/ARR, total workspaces/users, DAU/WAU/MAU, stickiness), Growth (signups + throughput), Engagement series, Weekly Retention cohorts (Week 1/2/4/8), an Activation funnel, and a Feature-adoption table — all powered by the new app_usage_events instrumentation across signups, logins, task creation, AI messages, integration connects, and feature use.
May 27, 2026
ProtonMail joins Gmail in the Email Inbox — IMAP/SMTP via the ProtonMail Bridge, with a provider switcher in the inbox UI. The AI agent can now create Gmail drafts (gmail_create_draft) and schedule mail for later (schedule_email / list_scheduled_emails / cancel_scheduled_email). A new scheduled-emails cron drains the queue every minute through whichever provider you connected.
May 26, 2026
The calendar now refreshes on tab focus and polls every minute (silent, no spinner flicker, paused while hidden). AngelSend joins Google Calendar in the 10-minute integrations-sync cron with a rolling −30d / +180d window. New events arrive without forcing a manual refresh.
May 26, 2026
Members self-report availability (status, hours, time off) and leaders open availability requests — workspace-wide or per project — in Portfolio → Resources. People declare skills from a fixed canonical-skill vocabulary at three proficiency levels; Kavanah uses them to recommend and (optionally) auto-assign tasks, and the AI agent can route on creation via create_task auto_assign and the new recommend_assignees tool.
May 25, 2026
Create configurable AI teammates with a name, role, personality, model override, AI-generated or uploaded avatar, capability scope (10 groups: Tasks, Communications, Email & Calendar, Dev, Workflows, Reports, CRM, Knowledge, Finance, Admin), and a member-level access list. Restrict an Executive Assistant to just the leadership team, or build a Bookkeeper that can only touch finance tools.
May 25, 2026
Share a tokenized public form (Anyone / Anyone with verified email / Invited clients only) with your own custom fields. Submissions land in the Requests inbox — grouped with Messages and Email Inbox under the Inbox popout — to triage and convert into tasks.
May 24, 2026
GitHub end-to-end live sync: install the Kavanah GitHub App, sign in with OAuth, pick repos in the Connect Repository dialog, and PRs, commits, deploys, and code-review threads flow into /dev automatically. Tokens are encrypted per-workspace; webhooks keep lineage current in seconds.
May 20, 2026
Bulk edits, status changes, and batch task moves now flow through an undo/redo stack with live progress reporting. If you re-assign 80 tasks and one fails, you see exactly which — and one click rolls the whole batch back.
May 15, 2026
Signup and login banners now surface recovery paths inline — reset password, switch account, or resend verification without leaving the screen. Fewer dead ends, more recovered sessions.
May 8, 2026
Bind a Telegram account to your Kavanah workspace. Get standup digests, task reminders, and AI summaries delivered to chat — and trigger common commands from your phone. The mailer hardening that shipped alongside cut transactional bounce rates by half.
April 28, 2026
The Scrappy integration now keeps leads, campaigns, accounts, and jobs in sync both directions, with webhooks for instant updates. CloudCode endpoints power a new generation of automation steps.
April 18, 2026
A new /dev surface ties tasks to the code that shipped them. Lineage threads task ↔ commit ↔ PR ↔ deploy ↔ incident. The AI Engineer drafts PRs from ai-eligible tasks, Spec → Tasks turns a markdown spec into a sequenced plan, and Sentry / Datadog alerts auto-route to code owners.
April 5, 2026
Kavanah is now a native desktop app on Mac and Windows (built on Tauri). Stay logged in, get system notifications, and start a timer without keeping a browser tab open.
March 22, 2026
Day view on the calendar, multi-source calendar (Google Calendar + workspace events), manual estimate entry on tasks, and a fresh AI task time estimator. The new integrations panel makes Gmail, Drive, Slack, and Asana one-click connects.
March 10, 2026
The client portal has been redesigned with a cleaner layout, faster load times, and better navigation. Clients can view progress, leave feedback, and access shared files in one place — and AI now drafts the weekly status update for you.
February 22, 2026
Save and share board configurations. Create custom views with filters, grouping, and sorting to see exactly the tasks that matter — views sync across devices so your workspace stays consistent.
February 5, 2026
Real-time push notifications: get notified instantly when tasks are assigned, deadlines change, or teammates leave comments. Fine-tune preferences so you only see what matters.
January 15, 2026
Kavanah launches with project management, Kanban boards, time tracking, team management, and a client portal. Built for teams who want a calmer, faster way to ship.
