About Rize
Rize ships a Slack agent and in-app MCP chat — time data becomes a conversation, not a dashboard.
Rize's last two weeks are a coordinated push to make time data accessible by conversation. A Slack Agent lets users query hours, team time, and project status from inside Slack; an in-app MCP Chat does the same inside the Rize web app; and the underlying MCP/API surface picked up profitability and granular event tools so an AI assistant can answer revenue-per-client and billable-utilization questions. Alongside that, the v3.0.7 release bundles Timeline Notes, admin time entry management, Group By in reports, Dia browser support, and database performance work.
