Timers

Timers are now available to all Obvious users. Set one-time or recurring reminders directly in any thread -- the agent delivers a message when time is up.

Improvements

• You can now set an emoji as your project icon using the new emoji picker in the project icon editor.
• Fixed an issue where chat message groups weren't splitting properly at date boundaries in threaded conversations.

Improvements

• The thread list now correctly shows the last activity timestamp for each conversation.
• Clicking a selected Yes/No option a second time now submits the answer immediately.
• Projects now have a Share option directly in the right-click context menu -- no need to open project settings to share.

Improvements

• Projects management redesign: status icons in grouped headers, aligned status and priority labels, activity column fixes, and empty filter state explanations. Open in new tab is now available from the project context menu.
• Empty threads now allow you to change the agent mode — previously the mode selector was locked until the first message was sent.
• Fixed print formatting issues in folios that caused layout problems when saving as PDF.
• Fixed Obvious branding appearing incorrectly in the Outlook email compose preview.

Save Folio as PDF

Folios can now be exported to PDF directly from the toolbar. Click Save as PDF to generate and download a PDF that preserves the visual layout of your folio.

Improvements

• Projects load up to 15 seconds faster on first open.
• Fixed issues with row selection state and folder handling in the projects list view.

Improvements

• Integrations with external services — including email, calendar, and CRM connections — are now in beta. Connect your tools and work with them directly through the agent.

Improvements

• Workbook rows now expand vertically to show the full content of wrapped text cells. Row height adjusts automatically based on content — no more clipped text.
• The agent can now list and download attachments from Gmail messages — previously only available for Outlook. Ask the agent to list or download attachments from any Gmail email.

Meetings [Beta]

Meeting notes and recordings are now available in beta — connect your calendar or Granola, record directly from Obvious, and let the agent pull meeting context into your projects.

Archive Projects

You can now archive projects from the ⋯ menu on any project card. Archived projects move to a separate Archived section in the sidebar and can be restored at any time.

Improvements

• You can now connect multiple calendar accounts for meetings — for example, a personal Gmail and a work Google Workspace account. Events from all connected accounts are aggregated in the meetings sidebar and meetings page.

Task Step Improvements

Task steps are numbered starting from 1, gate approval cards appear after a step runs rather than before, and approval cards for user-triggered tasks now appear in the user's thread.

Improvements

• Fixed an out-of-memory error and stuck processing status that occurred when uploading large CSV files.
• Connecting to a protected MCP server now surfaces a clear OAuth error instead of a generic failure message.
• Pressing space after / in the chat input now correctly dismisses the slash menu dropdown.
• User mentions in sheet cell comment tooltips now resolve to the correct display name.
• Renaming folios, workbook metadata files, and artifacts across directories is now correctly detected and synced.
• Thread names that exceed the header width no longer cause the action buttons to overflow off-screen.

HubSpot CRM Integration

HubSpot is now available as a connected CRM. Connect it from Settings → Connectors and the agent can query your contacts, companies, deals, and pipeline data.

Improvements

• Dark mode notification fixed — notifications now appear in the correct theme.
• Opening the sidebar in a project now pushes kanban and gallery views aside instead of overlapping them.
