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.

In flight this quarter (Q2 2026)

  • MCP server (read-only)

    agents

    A Model Context Protocol server exposing employees, commesse, timesheets and expenses as resources. Enables Claude/Copilot/Cursor to ground on your tenant data.

  • 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.

  • OpenAPI 3.1 spec + generated SDKs

    api

    The REST API as a single source-of-truth spec. Auto-generated TS, Python and Go clients drop on every merge — no more drift.

  • Webhook delivery service

    ecosystem

    Dedicated delivery queue with HMAC signing, exponential backoff (72h), replay from dashboard, and partial-failure dead-letter. Replaces the current in-process fan-out.

Scoped for Q3 2026

  • Module standalone billing

    modular

    Enable just Money, just People or just Work in the product — billing, seat counts and feature flags all module-aware. Back-end scoping already there; UI + Stripe wiring remaining.

  • 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 for expense photos. Ships via App Store / Play Store; PWA remains the default.

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 — approve expense, book leave, draft offer letter. Gated behind explicit per-tool permissions.

  • BYO-LLM for anomaly detection

    ai

    Optional plug-in: route expense/timesheet anomalies through your own Azure OpenAI or Bedrock tenant. No data leaves your network.

  • Marketplace SDK for community modules

    ecosystem

    A packaging format (think VS Code extensions) for third-party modules distributed on GitHub. Each module 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.

  • ✗ Closed-source enterprise edition with extra features. No.
  • ✗ Per-API-call pricing for the REST API. Included on every tier.
  • ✗ LLM-generated "AI Copilot" in place of 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.
