What is Tability?

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

What is Wakapi?

A critical auth bypass lands in the middle of Wakapi's slow identity rebuild.

Wakapi's recent releases cluster around identity and deployment rather than time tracking itself: OpenID Connect login, then an OIDC-only mode, multiple API keys per user, and a switch from Alpine to a distroless nonroot container image. The 2.17.x line has carried two security fixes now — a responsibly disclosed issue in 2.17.3, and a critical authentication bypass in 2.17.6 caused by a shared cache key namespace. Release notes are mostly bare issue numbers, so several entries state that something changed without saying what.

Tability vs Wakapi: editorial side-by-side

T7.5

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.

W2.5

A critical auth bypass lands in the middle of Wakapi's slow identity rebuild.

◆ Current state

Wakapi's recent releases cluster around identity and deployment rather than time tracking itself: OpenID Connect login, then an OIDC-only mode, multiple API keys per user, and a switch from Alpine to a distroless nonroot container image. The 2.17.x line has carried two security fixes now — a responsibly disclosed issue in 2.17.3, and a critical authentication bypass in 2.17.6 caused by a shared cache key namespace. Release notes are mostly bare issue numbers, so several entries state that something changed without saying what.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is a self-hosted tool making itself deployable somewhere other than one developer's server. External identity providers, an option to disable local login entirely, per-key credentials and a container that runs as a nonroot user are the requirements that come from someone else's security review. The 2.17.6 bypass sits awkwardly against that: a cache keyed without proper namespacing is exactly the class of bug that multi-tenant deployment surfaces, which suggests the auth work is now being exercised harder than the code was written for. Releases have also thinned to roughly one a month from a much faster earlier cadence.

◆ Prediction

The identity and packaging thread is the only sustained one in this feed, so further hardening in that area is the most likely continuation; the sparse release notes make anything more specific guesswork.
