Hostaway
Hostaway is becoming a compliance and finance system that happens to manage channels
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Aha! and Tability — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Elle stops being Aha's assistant and becomes where teams encode their own standards.
Aha! publishes a steady run of concrete, narrow features across Roadmaps and Builder as one-line update posts, interleaved with occasional product-management essays. This window covers user groups for mentions and assignment, a design system for AI-generated apps, long-document handling, virtual user testing for prototypes, and user-defined skills for the Elle assistant. Aha! Builder, which turns plans into working applications, is absorbing most of the AI investment.
Tability is handing OKR upkeep to agents, with the manager kept in the approval seat.
Tability shipped a single dated train on August 6 covering agent delegation, an AI spreadsheet importer, wider AI Mode context, and a Skills Library for Claude and ChatGPT. Underneath that sits the KPI module introduced in mid-July, which split business-as-usual metrics away from OKRs and gave them their own permissions, views, and import path. The product now has two tracked object types and is layering AI onto the labor of maintaining both.

Aha! Builder, which turns plans into working applications, is absorbing most of the AI investment.
The arc is legible across three months: Aha! held the product data, then exposed it through an MCP server in May, then acted on it when Builder began generating applications in June, and now lets customers define how the assistant behaves. Skills make Elle configurable by the teams using it rather than only by Aha!, which repeats for the assistant what Builder did for applications. The Roadmaps side meanwhile keeps receiving unglamorous collaboration and document work, so the classic tool is not being starved while the AI half expands.
Skills are the obvious thing to extend next, most likely with sharing or governance controls, since Aha! sells to organizations that standardize process. On the Builder side, testing landed in July and deployment and handoff remain the visible gaps.

Every recent addition attacks the same weakness in goal-tracking tools: the data goes stale because updating it is nobody's job. Tability's answer is to let agents do the gathering and drafting while routing proposals, decisions, access requests, and blockers back to a human before anything commits. The Skills Library and MCP integration point outward — the company appears content for the actual reasoning to happen in Claude or ChatGPT while Tability holds the structured record.
The delegation flow is the piece with room to run; expect agents to move from preparing work to posting check-ins and flagging at-risk goals on a schedule, with the KPI module as the data source. Whether the Skills Library grows or gets absorbed into the agent flow is the open question the entries do not settle.
