What is Chord?

Chord's assistant can now write to the team's knowledge base, not just read from it.

Chord is a commerce data platform whose assistant, renamed from Copilot to Ask Chord in August, has absorbed most of the product's release capacity for four months. The latest release adds shared team memory: the assistant writes durable context back into its own knowledge base mid-conversation and can search it later. Preceding releases gave it audience building straight from conversation, grounding in the customer's own business definitions, persistent chat history and shareable conversations.

What is modeltime.resample?

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

Chord's assistant can now write to the team's knowledge base, not just read from it.

◆ Current state

Chord is a commerce data platform whose assistant, renamed from Copilot to Ask Chord in August, has absorbed most of the product's release capacity for four months. The latest release adds shared team memory: the assistant writes durable context back into its own knowledge base mid-conversation and can search it later. Preceding releases gave it audience building straight from conversation, grounding in the customer's own business definitions, persistent chat history and shareable conversations.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs from answering questions to acting and now to accumulating. Each release has closed one gap in that loop — answers that show their reasoning, then grounding in the customer's definitions, then feedback capture, then building audiences directly, and now retaining what it learns for the whole team. The rename from Copilot signals the assistant is being treated as the product surface rather than an add-on to it. Release notes arrive on a strict two-week cadence and the feed truncates their bodies, so specifics beyond the headline features are not visible.

◆ Prediction

Acting on that accumulated memory is the natural next step, since the assistant can already build audiences and now retains definitions across conversations.

M0.0

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

◆ Current state

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

◆ Where it's heading

Every entry here is compatibility work against something upstream — hardhat 1.0.0, workflows regression mode, then tune 2.0.0 twice. The 0.3.0 notes show a second concern emerging alongside it: making failures legible, with .notes on failed fits, actionable errors from unnest_modeltime_resamples(), and fallback logic when prediction columns go missing across versions. Reproducibility gets the same treatment through explicit seeding.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to track the next tidymodels breaking change, with any new work continuing on error reporting rather than resampling strategies.
