  • Feature

    Follow-ups come with a draft

    When the next step on a promise is a message, Random drafts it, on the same thread when it came from an email. When a reply you are waiting on has been quiet for 72 hours, it drafts a short nudge. Approve it on Decisions and Random saves it as a draft in your mailbox; you send it.

  • Improvement

    Decisions grouped by source

    Decisions groups what is waiting for you by where it came from, and shows what you just approved or declined.

  • Improvement

    Live words while you dictate

    In Chat and Notes your words appear in grey while you speak. When you stop, the final text takes their place.

  • Improvement

    Longer documents in chat

    Attach a document in chat and the assistant reads far more of it: about three pages at once, and longer files on request.

  • Feature

    Two-step sign-in

    Protect your account with a code from an authenticator app when you sign in.

  • Feature

    Chat fills in more for you

    Ask chat for a task, a follow-up, a note or a new person, and you get a filled form to check, as with meetings. Nothing is saved until you press Create.

  • Feature

    Plans and a 7-day trial

    One plan: EUR 99 a month, or EUR 990 a year, which is two months free, final price, no VAT charged. Start with a 7-day free trial.

  • Improvement

    Workflows become Automations

    The page that holds your workflows and the built-in automations is now called Automations. Web research is off by default, and you switch it on in Automations.

  • Feature

    Signatures, rebuilt

    A new Signatures list and request page, plus a send flow where you set the signing order and can cancel a request. Signing itself is never automated.

  • Feature

    Tasks on your calendar

    Tasks with a time now show on the Calendar grid. Drag one to reschedule it, with Undo.

  • Improvement

    Dictation everywhere you write

    Dictate into any record composer. Your words are tidied up after you speak, and recording stops on its own when you pause.

  • Feature

    Chat fills in the meeting for you

    Ask for a meeting in chat and you get a pre-filled New event form to check, not a round of follow-up questions. Nothing is sent until you confirm.

  • Improvement

    Repeating events

    Edit or cancel one event in a series, or the whole series. Adding a guest keeps the guests already there.

  • Improvement

    Getting started, guides and help

    Getting started in the sidebar walks you through connecting your email and the page tours. Every Learn guide has pictures, and Help has Contact us and Troubleshoot.

  • Improvement

    Real logos, and where answers come from

    Connectors show their real logos, Microsoft Outlook included. Chat answers, follow-ups and the Brief show the source each item came from.

  • Improvement

  • Feature

    Chat reads attachments

    Ask about an email's attachment and the assistant reads it.

  • Improvement

    Tasks with a time, and note starters

    Give a task a start time and a length. New notes can start from Meeting notes or Call summary.

  • Improvement

    German, all the way through

    The app is fully German when you choose German, guides included.

  • Improvement

  • Reliability

    Data Room, hardened

    Prepare a document, add the signers, and send it for e-signature without leaving the assistant. Signing itself is never automated, and the document is stored in the EU.
