Changelog
Everything that has shipped in Aether, newest first, from the first prototype on 6 September. Only things that are built and in the app are listed; what's coming is on the Roadmap.
5 October 20261 update
- Feature
An overdue commitment comes with its follow-up
When a commitment passes its due date, its item on Home has a Draft follow-up button. Aether reads from the source quote who made the promise and writes the email from the commitment's owner: a polite reminder when the client owes it, or a short note that you're running late, with the new date left for you to set, when your firm does. Review it, approve it, and send it from your connected Gmail or your own mail. Nothing goes to the client until a person sends it.
4 October 20261 update
- Design
Home replaces the Inbox, and the app gets simpler
Home opens with an Ask bar: ask anything about a client and the answer comes quoted from the record, or pick a chip to start a meeting brief, a status update or a proposal. Under it is the same ranked queue of what needs your judgment, with Board and By date views that take the place of the Tasks and Calendar pages. The sidebar is down to four items. Knowledge atoms are now called Decisions & commitments, each shown with its source quote, and you Confirm or Dismiss them.
2 October 20262 updates
- Feature
Drive and Gmail stay up to date on their own
Switch on “Keep Drive and Gmail up to date” in Settings → Data connectors and Aether checks every five minutes: new and changed files in the Drive folders bound to engagements, and new email from your clients’ domains. Recall and the Inbox stay current without anyone clicking Sync. It starts from the moment you switch it on; use Sync on an engagement or client to bring in what came before. It’s off by default, and new documents are read for atoms as they arrive, which uses your AI allowance.
- Feature
Assumptions the fee rests on, checked as evidence arrives
Aether reads the assumptions out of an engagement's SOW, plan or proposal, or you add them by hand, on its Doctrine tab. With checking on in Settings, every new email, document and Slack thread is checked against them, and anything that contradicts one goes to the engagement lead with the passage quoted beside the SOW's wording. The lead confirms it's broken or says it still holds; nothing is marked broken without a person. Assumptions now fill the A in the RAID log export.
1 October 20264 updates
- Improvement
A sent task is managed in your task tool
Once a task is sent to Asana or ClickUp it moves to In progress, and its status is changed there rather than in Aether; when it's completed there, Aether marks it done. Sent one by mistake? Unlink it and it goes back to To do.
- Bug fix
The daily “work with no owner” email arrives once
Some leads received the same morning email several times. It now goes out once a day.
- Feature
Tasks board, and send to Asana or ClickUp from the Inbox
The Tasks page now shows a board with To do, In progress and Done columns; drag a card to change its status, or switch back to the list. A task in your Inbox can be sent to Asana or ClickUp from there too. The task's owner needs the same email in both places, and Aether tells you when they don't.
- Integration
Asana
Asana works the same way as ClickUp: connect it once for the firm, choose each engagement's project on its Connections tab, send approved tasks, and Aether marks them done when they're completed in Asana. A firm uses one task tool at a time, so connecting Asana means disconnecting ClickUp first.
30 September 202617 updates
- Integration
ClickUp
Send an approved task to your ClickUp, with its due date, owner and a link back to the risk or commitment it resolves. When it's completed in ClickUp, Aether marks it done. Connect ClickUp once for the firm, then choose each engagement's ClickUp List on its Connections tab.
- Feature
Connect your own AI assistant to Aether
Claude Desktop, claude.ai and the Claude mobile apps can now read your engagement state: who leads what, open risks and commitments, your SOWs and plans, and a search of each engagement's documents. An owner or admin turns it on and approves each connection, it is read-only, and every read is recorded in Activity.
- Feature
Tools that can't open a sign-in window use a key
Claude Code and similar tools connect with a revocable key that an owner or admin creates in Settings. The key is shown once and can be revoked at any time.
- Bug fix
Password reset emails now send reliably
“Forgot your password?” sometimes failed with an email error. Reset links are now sent by Aether itself, work once, and expire after an hour.
- Feature
See what's new on an engagement since you last looked
The engagement Timeline marks new entries with a “New” tag and counts them at the top.
- Feature
Discuss any change order or knowledge atom
Comments now live on the thing you're talking about, not just on the client or engagement page. @mention a teammate and it reaches their Inbox and email. Each Discuss button shows how many comments it has.
- Feature
Confirm or dispute a knowledge atom
A colleague can put their name to an approved atom or dispute it with a reason. Cards show who stands behind each one, and a dispute tells the atom's owner and the engagement lead.
- Feature
Ask a teammate to review a draft, with lead sign-off
Reports, proposals and change orders can be put to a named reviewer, who answers from their Inbox. The engagement lead signs off last. Approve is reserved for the lead and admins, and every step is recorded.
- Feature
Change your name, email and password
Account settings in the sidebar footer let you change your own name, sign-in email (with a confirmation link sent to the new address) and password.
- Improvement
Show your password as you type it
Every password field has a show button, so a typo doesn't lock you out.
- Improvement
A simpler sidebar, and a Settings home
Settings is one link that opens a grid of cards, and Clients and Advisory Agents are single links. Accountability now lives in Settings.
- Improvement
Clients page: open a client's engagements as an org chart
Each client card shows its number of engagements. Click it to see the client on top with its engagements beneath.
- Feature
Every engagement has a lead, and every piece of work has an owner
Work assigned to you appears in your own Inbox. Work with no owner goes to the engagement lead to hand out, who is also emailed a daily digest of it. The last lead can't be removed until another is named, and Settings shows what nobody owns or is overdue.
- Feature
New teammates choose a password when they first sign in
An invite link no longer leaves someone without a password. Invites are emailed by Aether, report any failure, and can be resent.
- Improvement
Pages load faster
The Inbox and the page shell read their data in parallel, and a loading screen appears straight away.
- Feature
Change orders from unpriced scope
When Expansion Scout finds unpriced work, turn it into a change order: edit it, set the fee, approve it, email it to the client's contacts from your Gmail in a standard change-order layout, and mark it sent. Change orders waiting for review show in the Inbox, and their status shows on the Expansion report.
- Security & privacy
Every action is recorded in Activity
Edits, approvals, sends, staffing changes and settings changes now all appear in Settings → Activity, with who did them.
29 September 20269 updates
- Feature
Firm-wide activity log
Settings → Activity shows who did what across the firm, filterable by client, engagement or person.
- Feature
Export a RAID log
Download an engagement's risks, commitments and decisions as a spreadsheet from its Knowledge atoms tab.
- Improvement
Tasks can't be closed without an owner
Every task now has someone accountable before it can be marked done.
- Improvement
@mentions arrive straight away
Being mentioned in a comment puts it at the top of your Inbox and sends you an email.
- Feature
Turn weekly Reporting on or off per engagement
Each engagement has its own switch for scheduled status reports.
- Integration
Slack
Bind a Slack channel to an engagement and its threads become searchable documents with atoms extracted from them. New messages arrive in near real time.
- Bug fix
Slack documents show the right title and link
Threads ingested earlier had missing titles and permalinks. They're corrected, and new ones are right from the start.
- Feature
Atoms are scored, and trusted sources can skip review
Every extracted atom carries a confidence score. A firm can let high-scoring atoms from a source skip review, off by default, with accuracy tracked so it pauses itself if too many get rejected later.
- Design
A new logo
A crossbar A replaces the original mark, and the favicon is redrawn in the brand purple.
28 September 202613 updates
- Security & privacy
Real sign-in, and every firm's data kept apart
Aether now requires a sign-in, and every read and write is limited to your own firm, enforced in the database itself, with tests that prove one firm can't see another's records.
- Security & privacy
Retention, legal hold and verified deletion
Set how long engagement data is kept after it closes, place a legal hold, and destroy an engagement's data, or a client's, when required. Destruction is logged and exportable as a record to hand a client.
- Security & privacy
Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum
All three are published on the site.
- Security & privacy
Colleagues only see the clients they're staffed on
Members see only the clients, engagements, agent consoles and lists for work they're on. Owners and admins see everything.
- Security & privacy
Proposals use past work only as de-identified facts
When Proposal draws on earlier engagements, only de-identified facts reach the draft, never the client's names or details.
- Feature
Invite teammates by email
Owners and admins invite colleagues from Settings → Team and set their role.
- Feature
Sign in with a password, and reset it if you forget
Email sign-in links hit a sending limit, so Aether moved to passwords with a forgot-password flow.
- Bug fix
Sign out works
Signing out from the sidebar used to fail with an error. It now does what it says, and the sidebar shows which account you're signed in as.
- Feature
Weekly status reports, drafted for you
Reporting drafts a weekly client update for every active engagement that had activity, and skips the week when nothing changed. It never sends; a person reviews it first. The schedule follows your firm's timezone.
- Feature
Expansion Scout
A new agent that finds work being done outside the agreed scope, and needs a client has stated that isn't in the contract, so you can price it.
- Improvement
Recall separates the record from general knowledge
Answers now cite your engagement's record, and anything that comes from general knowledge instead is labelled as such.
- Improvement
Dismiss an Inbox reminder and it stays dismissed
Reminders say what they're asking, and dismissing one now persists.
- Improvement
Your firm's timezone is detected for you
The agent grid is also flatter and easier to scan.
24 September 20261 update
- Feature
Export the AI usage log
Download every model call, with its cost, as a spreadsheet.
23 September 20267 updates
- Feature
Comments with @mentions
Leave notes for the team on a client or a single engagement. @ a teammate, # a knowledge atom or & a document, and mentions reach the Inbox.
- Integration
Gmail
Email threads with a client's domain are attributed to the right engagement, and any that can't be placed wait in your Inbox for you to choose. Your own firm's domains are left out.
- Feature
Knowledge atoms get their own engagement tab, and a risk and commitment ledger
Risks and commitments are tracked open or resolved, with an owner. A commitment needs a due date and an owner before it can be approved, and resolving one asks why, so the reason isn't lost.
- Feature
Suggested tasks, a Tasks page and a Calendar
Generate suggested tasks for a risk or commitment, approve or discard each, and track them to done. A risk can't be resolved while its approved tasks are still open. The Calendar shows every commitment by due date.
- Feature
Overdue commitments appear as alerts
A commitment past its due date shows in the Inbox.
- Improvement
Delete a document; rejecting an atom removes it
Both now actually remove the record, rather than leaving it hidden.
- Bug fix
Atom citations name the real source
Citations always said Drive. They now say Drive, Gmail or Slack as appropriate.
22 September 202611 updates
- Feature
Proposal
Drafts a proposal grounded in your past engagements. Prospects get their own documents, and drafts appear in the Inbox for review.
- Feature
Continuity Brief
The whole engagement record, pulled together for whoever picks it up next. It shows in the Inbox, and a reminder appears when someone joins an engagement.
- Feature
Client Risk
A client-level read of where a relationship is exposed, with the evidence behind each point.
- Security & privacy
Atoms are reviewed before any agent uses them
New atoms wait for a person to approve them. Nothing unreviewed is used to ground a draft or an answer.
- Feature
Email a report from your own Gmail
Approved Reporting drafts can be sent through the firm's connected Gmail, and resent.
- Feature
Engagement Timeline
Every document, atom, draft, brief and staffing change for an engagement, in date order, each linking to where it lives.
- Feature
Aether tells you when you're rewriting most of a draft
If you change more than half of Reporting or Proposal drafts, a notice appears, so you can tell when the output isn't working for you.
- Improvement
Mark a Drive folder as internal or client-facing
Documents from it arrive with that audience, so internal material is never used in client-facing work.
- Improvement
Drafts show who reviews them
It's the engagement's lead, falling back to the client's lead.
- Bug fix
Sidebar counts match the pages
The Inbox and Knowledge Atoms badges counted everything, not just the client you had selected.
- Design
A new look: Slate Violet
Cool neutral grays, an indigo accent and Space Grotesk headings across the app and the site.
20 September 20263 updates
- Feature
Reporting
A weekly client update that sets what was promised against what was delivered, lists milestones, and includes an email ready to send.
- Feature
Client switcher, engagement types and agent avatars
Scope the whole app to one client, label engagements by type, and give each agent a face that shows what it does. Your client selection is remembered.
- Feature
Saved Meeting Prep briefs
Each brief has its own page and a recent list, covers your last three interactions with the client, and can be copied or printed. It works on a phone.
13 September 20262 updates
- Improvement
Meeting Prep runs in the background and checks its own work
Briefs finish without timing out, are scoped to the meeting's focus, verify every quote against its source, follow your firm's never-do rules, and suggest an agenda.
- Feature
Reminders for upcoming client meetings
An Inbox reminder offers to prepare a brief for each client meeting on your calendar.
10 September 20265 updates
- Feature
Recall
Ask a question about an engagement and get an answer with citations back to the exact passages, checked against the source. Recall has its own place in the sidebar.
- Feature
Knowledge atoms
Decisions, risks and commitments are extracted from your documents, each with a verbatim citation and the engagement it belongs to.
- Feature
Meeting Prep
A brief for an upcoming client meeting, grounded in your firm's own rules and the engagement's SOW.
- Feature
AI usage and cost, by person, engagement and agent
See every model call with its cost, over today, 30 days, a quarter or all time.
- Improvement
Real data only
The sample business records are gone from the app. What you see is what's in your firm's database.
9 September 20265 updates
- Feature
Real firms, clients, engagements, contacts and staffing
Aether moved from sample data to a real database, with clients, engagements, contacts and who is staffed where.
- Feature
Firm profile and engagement doctrine
Describe how your firm works, in your own words, and attach an engagement's SOW and plan. Every agent reads both.

- Improvement
Inbox cards and filters
Switch between cards and rows, and filter by client, type or search.
- Improvement
Connections are firm-wide, with a binding per engagement
Connect a source once, then choose which engagement each folder or channel feeds.
