Features

Skills have a home

Skills now appear in the workspace navigation, with personal, team, and built-in skills side by side. OpenTag can also write and install a skill for a workflow you describe.

Improvements

See usage in credits

The Usage page is back and reports what your workspace has used in credits, with the plan’s monthly allowance shown alongside so you can see where you stand.

Improvements

See that OpenTag is on it

A “Working on it…” status now appears under OpenTag’s name within about a second of your message and stays until the answer lands. The eyes reaction is retired.

Features

Describe a routine and OpenTag builds it

Ask for recurring work in plain English and OpenTag sets up the routine, with no template to pick. The routines list shows the instructions each one runs and anyone on the team can edit them. Routines can also start from an event, such as a webhook from another tool, instead of only on a schedule.

Features

Choose which integrations your team can connect

Admins can limit the integrations a workspace is allowed to connect. Anything outside the list is unavailable to the whole team rather than left to individual choice.

Features

OpenTag can use a browser for you

Every conversation gets its own browser at a stable link. OpenTag can browse and act on sites that have no integration, and when a site asks you to sign in it hands the browser over, then picks the task back up.

Features

Work with Google Sheets

OpenTag can read, write, append to, clear, and reorganize Google Sheets, and create a new spreadsheet when you ask. Sheets tasks inside routines no longer fall back to the browser.

Features

Put recurring work on a schedule

Ask OpenTag to repeat work and have each run post where your team will see it. Routines can now run in public Slack channels, with a schedule and destination you can adjust.

Improvements

Fewer interruptions for approvals

OpenTag now stops to ask only before actions that cannot be undone or that only you can decide. Approved actions no longer restart the request, and routines no longer stall waiting for an answer nobody will give.

Features

Send documents and charts into Slack

Ask for a document and OpenTag uploads it into the thread or into a channel you name. Charts it draws arrive as images you can open, not as broken attachments.

Integrations

Attio

Connect Attio to look up and update the people, companies, and deals in your CRM from Slack. Choose read-only or read and write when you connect.

Features

Ask across every channel OpenTag has joined

Ask about a decision, a thread, or what happened last week and OpenTag searches across the channels it has joined to answer, instead of seeing only the message that mentioned it. Narrow to a channel or a time window when you want to.

Features

A home channel for OpenTag in Slack

Installing OpenTag creates a shared channel where it welcomes the team and posts integration notices, so there is one obvious place to find it.

Fixes

Replies name people and channels, not IDs

OpenTag now refers to people and channels by name instead of raw Slack identifiers. Links in its messages open in the right workspace and no longer trigger preview cards.

Improvements

Know right away when a connection breaks

When an integration stops working, OpenTag messages the person who connected it, says what needs reconnecting, and links straight to the fix.

Features

Connect Gmail, Calendar, and Drive separately

Google is no longer one all-or-nothing connection. Connect Gmail, Calendar, and Drive on their own, add more than one Google account with a name for each, and share or disconnect a single service without touching the rest.

Features

Share images and files with OpenTag in Slack

Drop an image, PDF, text file, or audio clip into the conversation and OpenTag can read it and work from it. Long PDFs are read as text, so questions about a document get real answers.

Improvements

OpenTag catches up on the thread before answering

Pull OpenTag into a thread and it reads what came before the mention, so you do not have to recap. A bare @OpenTag reply in a thread now gets an answer, and it stays quiet on channel messages that were not addressed to it.
