Project management software for agile software teams

Shortcut ships steady integration and AI-assistant polish, with no directional bets this cycle.

◆Current state
Shortcut is in a consolidation phase: an upgraded Zendesk integration, an agent-oriented API v4 alpha, and a Chrome extension that puts its Korey assistant on any webpage. The work broadens where Shortcut data and AI reach, but stays within the established tracker-plus-assistant shape rather than opening new ground.
◆Where it's heading
The throughline is making Shortcut and Korey reachable from more places: external tools via integrations, an API tuned for agent compatibility, and the assistant available outside the app. This is reach-and-refinement, not reinvention. The roadmap and iterations surface keep getting incremental usability fixes alongside it.
◆Prediction
Expect API v4 to graduate from alpha and Korey's surface area to keep expanding, since both recent moves point at broader agent and integration compatibility.

◆Recent moves

    Zendesk integration upgrade

    The Zendesk integration now surfaces more Story detail (type, workflow state, last updated) and supports multiple installs across workspaces, bundled with a set of iteration and roadmap fixes. Solid integration deepening in line with the reach theme.

    API v4 alpha now available

    An alpha of API v4 aimed at expanding capabilities and agent compatibility. Early but pointed at the same goal as the rest of the cycle: making Shortcut data easier for external tools and agents to act on.

    Korey Chrome Extension

    A Chrome extension that brings the Korey assistant onto any webpage for questions, summaries, and actions in context. Extends the assistant's reach beyond Shortcut's own UI without changing what it fundamentally does.

    Teams on Roadmap

    Epic team owners now appear in the timeline bars on the Roadmap. A small visibility tweak for planning at the team level.

    Not a product change: this is a brand-guideline asset page (logo usage) that the crawler picked up as a changelog entry. No user-facing release here.

    ColorsOur colors are used consistently to introduce a slick theme with dashes of color to give a more joyful, exciting experience.

    Also not a release: a brand color-palette reference page captured as a changelog entry. Worth flagging as a crawl-source quality issue rather than product activity.
