๐Ÿ’ป Web App Updates

What's New?

  • Introducing Haystack AI
    We are so excited to welcome a set of beautiful new AI tools to the platform. Built to make your day easier and your to-do list shorter, these tools are here to support your content creation process no matter what you're writing. You'll find these new tools in a few places:
    โ€‹

    • Help Me Write in Posts, Pages, and Events
      Use the empty state helper text or your /-editor to fire up the Help Me Write tool. In the text box add a prompt and let Haystack AI go to work.
      โ€‹

      We love using this tool to add topic information, like open enrollment, or vesting schedule. And lists of important dates, like tax day or US federal holidays. And even helpful templates like company newsletter template (see below for an example) or company promotion announcement template.

    • AI-Assisted Comments
      You'll also find an AI tool in comments across your workspace! Click the text for help writing a quick comment on posts in your feed. Keep in mind, you can always edit if needed!
