What is RescueTime?

5.0PM
Tability turns AI Mode from one-off prompts into a stateful, artifact-producing workspace assistant.
◆ Current state
Tability is concentrating its build effort on AI Mode, its in-product assistant for OKR planning. Recent releases let AI Mode persist chat threads, generate downloadable artifacts like diagrams and presentations, and run the goal-generation flow. Alongside this, it is tightening workspace administration with bulk user actions and default API-access controls.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is clear: AI Mode is moving from stateless, text-only replies toward saved threads and structured outputs you can keep and reuse. Paired with the admin and dashboard-widget work, Tability is positioning AI as a persistent layer over plan data rather than a novelty prompt box.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Mode to gain deeper plan-data grounding and more artifact types next, with continued admin controls to govern AI and API access in larger workspaces.

◆ Prediction
Expect the productivity-and-work-culture blog cadence to continue; the entries give no basis to predict specific product changes.
