What's new

When a board suggests something, "Always do this" opens the automation editor already filled in — review it, save it, and the board keeps doing it without being asked again.

Ask a question about the brief you are reading and get an answer grounded in that board, without leaving the panel. Any answer can be opened in chat to keep talking.

Automations can now assign a specific person to an item, so new work lands on a named owner instead of nobody.

Catch me up now returns in about twenty seconds instead of a couple of minutes. The brief asks the model for less internal deliberation and the same answer, so it costs less and reads the same.

Board tables lost their vertical grid lines — columns are now separated by alignment and a single hairline beside the item name. Rows are taller, hover and selection are clearer, and subitems hang off a thread line under their parent.

Monolith now uses Inter throughout, which stays crisp at the smaller sizes board tables use and lines numbers up in currency and number columns.

The Name column now measures the space its own controls take, so a name that fits is no longer truncated with empty space beside it.

The sidebar and the agent dock no longer have collapse buttons tucked in their corners. Reach for the edge of the page beside the panel and it lights up along its whole length; click to fold it away, click again to bring it back. On the dock side that same edge still drags to resize, and Cmd+\ still folds the sidebar.

The board's agent dock now sits beside the board on the app background and puts Intelligence, Ask and each of your agents in one row of tiles. Tap an agent to start talking to it, watch its dot pulse while it answers, fold the thread list out of the way, and collapse the whole dock to a thin rail of the same tiles.

Generating a dashboard, board or automation with an Anthropic model, and the new board brief, failed immediately since 7 September; they run again.

Catch me up on any board: the dock's Intelligence tab writes a short brief of the last 7 days with up to five suggestions you can apply in one click and undo for eight seconds.

Every row in the sidebar now shares one look: the open page carries a slim periwinkle bar on the sidebar's edge, section headers are labelled rules that fold when clicked, your organization and workspace live in one chip, and My Time and Trash stay pinned at the bottom.

The highlighted board or dashboard row used white text on a light periwinkle fill in dark mode, which was hard to read. It now uses the same tint and edge bar as the rest of the navigation.

A long list of boards used to push Dashboards, My Time and Trash off the bottom of the screen with no way to reach them. The middle of the sidebar now scrolls while the top and bottom stay in place.

Every board now shows overdue, blocked, overloaded, stalled and changed-since chips under its header; click a chip to focus the board on those rows.

The Monolith site has a new front page: real product screenshots, a product tour of boards, item details and the agent dock, the agent-access story, plans and answers to common questions.

When more than one person is assigned, the cell shows overlapping avatars (photo or initials) with a +N for the rest, so it fits the column; hover the stack to see everyone's names. A single assignee still shows their name.

The People picker now stays open while you pick, so you can add or remove several assignees in one go. Multi-select dropdowns behave the same way.

The sidebar and page skeletons now show instantly on a cold load or reload of any board, My Work, Goals, Time, Workload, Dashboards or Reports page instead of waiting for the server.

Clicking into a cell, committing an edit, scrolling sideways or opening a dialog now updates only the affected row instead of every visible cell, so large boards feel snappier.

New items and subitems appear the moment you press Enter and the input stays ready for the next one; Kanban quick-add lands in the right column immediately. If the save fails, your text comes back with the error.

A slow but working connection no longer flips a board reload to the offline screen after three seconds; the offline screen now appears only when the network is really unreachable.

Boards send about a third less data on open, and typing on a large board no longer rewrites the offline cache on every keystroke.

Collapse a group, expand sub-items, or switch to Timeline, and the board opens that way next time. Your arrangement is yours alone and follows you to any browser you sign in from.

A filter you set on a board is still there when you come back. Clearing it clears it for good, and a shared link still carries whatever the link says.

A row you expand in the table stays expanded on the timeline, instead of each view keeping its own separate idea of what is open.

The sun/moon menu in the top bar now lists the six theme presets next to Light, Dark and System, so you can switch without opening Settings.

The retry button on error pages now actually retries.

The sidebar and top bar in Light mode now have a visible tint and edge, section labels are readable, and the active page is clearly highlighted.

Pick one of six themes — Keystone, Graphite, Ocean, Forest, Ember or Rose — in Settings → Preferences. Each restyles the accent and the chrome in both Light and Dark, and follows you across devices.

Every page now uses the same heading style and card corners, and status pills meet contrast guidelines in both themes.

Boards, Ask, Updates, reports and sign-in pages show a skeleton while they load, and a failed message send in Ask shows an error with a Retry button.

Start a message with @handle and that agent answers - and keeps answering the rest of the thread until you address someone else. Every answer is labelled with the agent behind it.

The thread header shows who is answering and lets you hand the conversation to a different agent, or back to the plain Monolith assistant, without starting over.

When an agent answers you directly, it now draws on the reference documents you attached to it and the notes it has learned, the same material it uses for its scheduled reports.

Agent briefings moved into their own collapsed section of the sidebar, so a daily report can't push your conversations off the list.

The conversation sidebar gained a search box and folds your history into Today, Last week, Two weeks ago and Older - each collapsible, with a count.

The sidebar entry and command palette now say Agents, and the settings page that configures them is Agent setup.

Type @ followed by an agent's handle at the start of a question in Ask, and that agent answers in its own voice with its own instructions.

Admins can rename the built-in assistant in Settings, AI. The new name is what it posts under everywhere, including Autopilot.

Connecting an AI app such as Cursor used to fail the moment you clicked Connect, with an error about the callback address. Those apps can now sign in to Monolith normally and read and write your boards through the connection.

Type @handle in an item update and your agent answers on the item.

Choosing Settings from the profile menu did nothing — the menu closed and the page stayed put. It now opens your profile settings straight away, whether you click through from the menu or open the address directly.

Your agents can now write a document and hand it back as a PDF, attached to the item you are working on -- a summary, a status report, a checklist. You approve it before it is created, and you can read exactly what it wrote on the approval card.

If a board folder was deleted in another tab, deleting it again no longer dead-ends with an error and a Cancel button. The dialog closes and the stale folder disappears from your sidebar.

A brief hiccup loading your folders could permanently forget which ones you had collapsed. Your sidebar now keeps that state through it.

Renaming, creating or reordering boards could leave the sidebar showing a stale order until a full page reload.

Boards already in a folder can now be dragged straight into another one, and the sidebar's drag handles work from the keyboard.

Entering hours outside the allowed range in Workload -> Defaults now shows a clear message next to the field it belongs to, instead of a browser tooltip that a screen reader never announced.

Sending a password reset, suspending or reactivating a user from the admin user list now confirms success and, if something goes wrong, says what - previously the menu simply closed and nothing happened.

Saving a provider key in Settings -> AI now records the verification it already performed, so the provider reads as checked immediately instead of "Never checked" until the next nightly sweep.

Error messages are now read out with the field they belong to, saving or clearing a form keeps your place instead of jumping to the top of the page, and confirmations are announced without interrupting you.

Approving or cancelling a proposed agent action now announces the outcome, instead of the buttons quietly disappearing.

Settings -> AI now shows, for each provider, when its available models were last verified and whether that check succeeded, so a provider whose key has stopped working is visible instead of silently going stale.

Organize the sidebar by dropping boards into folders you create. Folders are private to you, and they can hold both your own boards and ones shared with you. File a board from its ... menu, or drag it onto a folder.

When an agent's document library grew past 100 items, older documents were impossible to attach with no explanation; the attach picker now tells you how many more there are.

Saving or clearing a form no longer loses your place, error messages are read aloud alongside the field they belong to, and dropdown menus like Model and Timezone now announce what they are, not just what's currently selected.

Settings -> AI now shows a monthly breakdown of what your organization has spent on AI features.

Your weekly digest email and notifications now include a short narrative summarizing how your AI usage looked that week.

Number, battery, completion, and health widgets on dashboards were failing to load; they now show data as expected.

Keep a personal library of documents your agents can draw on -- paste text, or upload a Markdown, text, PDF, Word or Excel file and we will pull the text out for you to review before saving. Attach any of them to any of your agents.

An attached document is given to your agent in full, so it can copy the structure of a report you like, follow a policy list exactly, or use your team's internal shorthand without you re-explaining it every time.

Each agent shows a live budget as you attach documents, so you know what its model has room for. If a set no longer fits -- after switching to a smaller model, say -- the agent still runs and its history tells you the documents were left out, rather than quietly using part of one.

Give an agent permission to create items, attach files, log time or set up automations — and it does the work on its schedule instead of only writing you a summary.

Anything you have not granted an agent is recorded as a proposal instead of being blocked. Review it on the run, or in the agent's thread, and approve it with one click.

Every agent has its own permission toggles, so you can let one attach files without letting it change items. Nothing is granted by default.

Agents can now run on a chosen weekday or day of the month, not only daily.

Admins can cap what any agent in the organization may be granted, from Settings then AI.

Settings → AI now holds one API key per provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral and Kimi — instead of a single key for everything. Add, replace and remove each one independently.

Admins can pick the model the whole organisation falls back to, from a searchable list grouped by provider and ordered cheapest first. Clear it at any time to let each feature pick its own tier.

Any agent can be pinned to a particular provider and model rather than following the organisation default, and its run history now tells you when a run fell back to a different model.

A report can now cover several boards at once, or follow a portfolio and pick up its boards automatically. Summary figures and charts roll up across everything in scope, and each board still gets its own detail, group progress and appendix.

Find every report in one place from the new Reports item in the sidebar, instead of digging into each board. Reports you open from a board still work exactly as before.

Turn any report you have laid out into a reusable organization template, then start new reports from it. Templates are shared with everyone in your organization.

Attachments open in a viewer sized to the document itself. PDFs render sharply on high-resolution screens, with a progress bar counting real megabytes and pages that appear as you scroll. Word documents and spreadsheets render inline too, spreadsheets with switchable sheet tabs. Nothing is handed to a third-party viewer.

Every non-image attachment now carries a coloured page icon in the conventional colour for its type — PDF red, Word blue, Excel green, PowerPoint orange — with the format written on the chip.

The desktop app tells you when a newer one is available and offers the download, adds a Check for Updates item to its menu, and says the check failed rather than claiming you're up to date. Settings gained an Updating section, since updating starts by quitting the app.

An invitation used to appear only on the recipient's next full page load, so an open tab never saw it. The bell now updates within a second of one being sent, and clears just as quickly if it's revoked.

A client can now upload a file straight into an item's Files column. It can also read which columns are writable, what shape each value takes, and the real options behind a Status column — so it stops guessing.

The first step ran a command against an app you hadn't installed yet. It now names the file you just downloaded, in the order you actually do it.

Boards you've opened stay readable with no connection. Reopen the app on a plane and the last boards you visited render read-only with an offline bar, and you can move between them. Everything cached is wiped from the device when you sign out.

Text cells now open in a side panel with Markdown formatting and a live preview, instead of a cramped inline box.

Collapsed cells, the activity feed, dashboard list widgets and report tables show formatted text as plain words rather than raw Markdown — and filtering and sorting now match what you see.

Settings now offers a macOS desktop app under Integrations, with step-by-step install instructions. It carries your unread count on its dock icon.

The connector goes from 7 tools to 22 — your week's work and your team's workload, time entries, goals, portfolios, dashboards and what their widgets say, and reports — plus logging time against an item. Settings lists every tool, marks the three that write, and says plainly what a client can remove.

Typing hours into a My Time cell silently failed to save. It now persists, and entering 0 clears the entry.

Clients that finish sign-in on a local port were rejected, as was connecting a second client or reconnecting the first. They connect now, and each connection is kept separate from the others.

The add-item and add-group buttons are hidden on a board you can only view.

Every board gains a collapsible dock on its right edge. Talk to Ask or to any of your agents about that board, keep a thread private or share it with the board, and reply straight into a scheduled briefing. It stays collapsed until you open it, and costs nothing until you do.

Tell the assistant to move an item to another group and it proposes the move as a confirm card, naming the item and both groups. Nothing moves until you approve it.

A change you approve now lands on the board immediately — no reload, no flicker, no lost scroll position.

Asking it to change an item it had found could fail with a complaint that it couldn't find the item. Its lookups now return everything its write actions need.

Moving an item on a board you can only view reported "Done" while changing nothing — by drag and drop, in bulk, and through the assistant.

The sidebar and header now sit on a soft periwinkle wash, with your content as an inset card floating on it. Hovering and selecting lightens whatever is beneath instead of painting a grey rectangle, muted text is easier to read, and scrollbars no longer nudge the page as they appear.

Every agent in your roster now carries a last-run pill, and expanding one lists its recent runs with the real reason when a run is skipped or doesn't finish — previously a failing agent was silent.

A public pricing page lays the plans out side by side, with monthly and annual pricing, a full comparison table and answers to the usual questions.

The waitlist is gone. Anyone can create an account straight from the home page.

A new Agents section in Settings gives you a roster of your own agents. Start from the Morning Brief template, say in plain language what it should watch, pick an hour, and it emails you a briefing on your work and leaves it in your notifications. An agent runs as you, so it only ever sees what you can see. Briefing emails have their own toggle, separate from the weekly digest.

The landing page is now one continuous page built around agents, with a nav that stays put, worked examples of a board, an agent thread and a morning briefing, and answers to the questions people actually ask.

The health digest had never actually gone out, and would have reported every overdue item ever rather than the week it is headed with. It is now scoped to its own period, and a run that cannot send is reported instead of quietly counting as a success.

Reloading or navigating away mid-answer used to lose the whole turn. The answer now finishes and is saved regardless, and it's waiting for you when you come back.

The scheduled board agent still signed its updates with the old product name.

Connected AI clients can now list a board's items and their values in a single request, instead of fetching items one at a time — and a truncated search now says so.

The OAuth approval screen and the Connect-via-MCP guide referred to the product by its old name.

Ask AI now shows a live "Thinking..." indicator the moment you hit send, tells you when it starts reading your boards, and holds the composer until the answer lands so a slow question can no longer look like a broken one.

Report Builder gains a chart block — donut and bar charts shaped from your board data, configured in the builder rail, and rendered in both the live preview and the exported PDF.

Ask AI no longer stops at telling you what to do. It proposes the change as a confirm card in the thread, spelling out exactly what it will write — and nothing touches your board until you approve it. Cancel and it's dropped.

Being assigned to an item by a connected AI client now notifies you, just as an in-app assignment does.

Settings is now its own area with proper navigation instead of one long page — separate Account, Organization and AI sections. Rename your organization, leave one, manage appearance and security, and copy your server URL straight from a step-by-step guide for connecting Claude.

The Account danger zone now lets you permanently delete your account, confirming by typing your email. If you're the sole owner of an organization you'll be asked to hand it over first, so no workspace is left stranded.

Opening a link while signed out now takes you to that page once you've signed in, instead of dropping you on your dashboard.

Add Monolith as a connector in Claude Desktop or claude.ai and let it work with your boards — list them, search and read items, and create or update them. It connects as you and sees exactly what you can see, nothing more. Approve it once from a consent screen, and revoke it any time from Settings.

Add an AI step to any automation rule: write the instruction in plain language, then tick exactly which actions the AI is allowed to take — set a status, set percent, move to a group, or notify someone. Dry-run it to preview the decision before you turn the rule on.

Switch on Autopilot and your board gets tended on a cadence, with only the housekeeping you tick: triage new items into the group that fits, chase overdue owners, and keep goal rollups current. It works under its own bot identity, so every change it makes is attributable.

Any item now surfaces others across your boards that are about the same thing, even when they share no words — "onboarding" turns up "New-hire checklist".

Ask AI can look up items by what they're about rather than the exact words in their names.

The Timeline adds quarter and year zoom levels alongside day, week and month, fills the full width of the canvas, and no longer wraps its header dates.

Sub-items now sit under their parent and start collapsed, so a busy board opens as a compact overview you expand row by row — including parents that have no dates of their own but scheduled sub-items underneath.

Timeline bars can now be driven by an item's Created at or Updated at timestamp, not just date columns.

Dates and times appear on first paint instead of filling in a moment later.

The report cover printed an internal ID instead of your workspace's name, in both the live preview and the exported PDF.

Only owners and editors can generate an AI summary for a report — viewers could previously trigger one they had no way to save.

Build a shareable report from any board — choose the sections you want, preview it live, and add an AI-written summary or write your own.

Ask AI moved out of the popup into a full page, with saved conversations you can return to and answers that stream in as they're written.

Boards, your home, dashboards, and the calendar and timeline views all load quicker and respond more fluidly.

See how complete any board is at a glance — an overall percentage plus a progress bar per group, measured by percent or by done statuses.

Click a calendar event or timeline bar to update its status or progress on the spot, without opening the full item.

Automations gain a "percent reached" trigger and a "set percent" action, with ready-made recipes: mark items Done at 100%, or jump to 100% when marked Done.

Drag a column header — or use Move left / Move right in its menu — to rearrange your table. Works on touch too.

Date cells turn red when an item is past due and not yet done.

Exported spreadsheets now open formatted: real number and percent cells, progress data bars, currency formats, group colors, and a frozen, filterable header.

Boards, dashboards, and workload pages now load with content-shaped placeholders instead of blank screens, and feel snappier throughout.

When a change can't be saved you get a clear error message, and broken links land on friendly error pages instead of a crash.

Calendar navigation buttons are comfortably tappable on iPad.

Long-press an event to drag it to another day on iPad; a quick swipe scrolls.

Group-by and add-card controls are now finger-sized on iPad

Export any board to an Excel spreadsheet, or bulk-create items by importing one.

Resizing columns, dragging items, and live presence updates now feel smoother and more responsive.

Every item and subitem now shows who created it and when, in two read-only columns at the end of the board (and in the item panel) — a permanent record that can't be edited.

Let AI design a dashboard for any board — pick a board, approve a privacy-safe summary (no cell data leaves your workspace), and get a ready-made set of charts and metrics to keep, discard, or regenerate.

Turn board data into dashboards — number widgets with gauge displays and charts in every shape (line, area, stacked, grouped, combo, donut, and radial), all built in a single drawer with a live preview.

Log how your time is spent across categories with a quick decimal-hours grid, right from the sidebar.

The workload view now fills the canvas with utilization percentages, capacity bars, and per-day drill-downs into planned-vs-actual variance.

Track completion with a new percent column that automatically averages the progress of its subitems.

Report a bug or request a feature from the new Feedback button in the header — and get a notification in the bell when we respond.

Drag your boards into whatever order suits you; the arrangement sticks.

Kanban cards now show assignee names in the people summary, not just avatars.

Adding a column now surfaces a clear message when something goes wrong instead of failing silently.

Sum and Average widgets can no longer get stuck in a state you can't save.

See who else is on a board with live presence avatars, watch teammates' edits as they happen across table, kanban, calendar, and gantt, and get a quick highlight when someone's change lands.

Add a “move to group” step to any automation so items land in the right group the moment your rule fires.

Each group now shows its own interactive column header, so you can sort and resize without scrolling back to the top.

Roll up boards into an org-wide portfolio grid — track progress, timelines, health, and owners across every board in one place, with manual overrides where you need them.

Create, rename, and delete workspaces right from the sidebar to organize your boards however you work.
