Roadmap

What's shipping
before we say it is.

Most HR vendors publish a roadmap that's really a wish-list that never moves. Ours has three lanes and one rule: anything in Now has an owner and an ETA; anything in Next is scoped; anything in Later is on the radar but not committed.

See what already shipped Open an issue

Now

4

In flight this quarter (Q2 2026)

  • Workload check-in v1

    wellbeing

    One-tap weekly mood / load capture, 8-week sparkline, manager-safe aggregate. Replaces the old allocation-driven Saturation heatmap.

  • People-first dashboard tiles

    dashboard

    Personal status streak, kudos this week, growth score, team Pulse vibe, upcoming Moments — instead of the business-ops KPI grid.

  • Self-host Helm chart v1.0

    self-host

    Production-grade Helm chart with external Postgres, Redis, S3-compatible storage, and sealed-secrets integration. Today it's a reference Compose; v1.0 is what we deploy ourselves.

  • Webhook delivery service

    ecosystem

    Dedicated delivery queue with HMAC signing, exponential backoff (72h), replay from dashboard, and partial-failure dead-letter for the people events (kudos, log, workload, leave).

Next

4

Scoped for Q3 2026

  • MCP server (read-only)

    agents

    A Model Context Protocol server exposing employees, kudos, status log entries and workload check-ins as resources. Enables external agents (Claude, Cursor) to ground on your tenant data.

  • Real OAuth for Slack / Google / Okta

    ecosystem

    Replace the mock OAuth handshake in Settings → Integrations with the actual flows. Tokens stored in a KMS-wrapped vault.

  • Native iOS + Android apps

    mobile

    Native shells around the PWA with biometric unlock and background sync. Ships via App Store / Play Store; PWA remains the default.

  • Manager digest email

    manager

    Weekly recap delivered to managers: sentiment trend, workload at-risk count, kudos volume, Pulse vibe. Never the raw chat. Opt-in per workspace.

Later

4

On the radar for Q4 2026 and beyond

  • Agent-native workflows (write actions via MCP)

    agents

    Once the read-only MCP server has settled, extend to write actions — send a kudos, log a day off, mark a workload check-in. Gated behind explicit per-tool permissions.

  • Sentiment summarisation (BYO-LLM)

    ai

    Optional plug-in: route a week of personal status log entries through the employee's own Azure OpenAI or Bedrock tenant for a private retrospective. Data never leaves their network.

  • Marketplace SDK for community surfaces

    ecosystem

    A packaging format (think VS Code extensions) for third-party people-first surfaces distributed on GitHub. Each one declares permissions up front.

  • SCIM for inbound user provisioning

    enterprise

    Not just outbound identity federation — let enterprises push employee lifecycle events into Pulse from Okta / Entra ID / JumpCloud.

Things we are deliberately not doing.

Every product becomes what it chooses to say no to. Here are the temptations we've said no to, with reasons you can argue with.

  • ✗ Time tracking, timesheets, project codes, billing by the hour. Use the tool you already have.
  • ✗ Payroll, expense reports, GL/journal exports, tax. Buy payroll software for that.
  • ✗ Recruiting kanban, applicant tracking, onboarding workflows, e-signature. Different product, different scope.
  • ✗ Performance reviews and OKR cycles. Continuous signal is what we ship instead.
  • ✗ Closed-source enterprise edition with extra features. No.
  • ✗ LLM-generated chat agents in place of deterministic forms and the local intent parser. Reliability > marketing.

Influence the order.

The lane ordering inside Next and Later is driven by signal — 👍 reactions on GitHub issues, customer meetings, and depth of dependency in the codebase. The loudest way to move something is to open an issue, describe your context, and invite +1s.
