Changelog

John CEO is in early access. Here are the improvements we have shipped.

2026-09-14

• Monthly plans and top-ups now include more work credits for the same USD price.

2026-08-19

• Public note on how memory stays scoped to the people in the conversation: Memory.
• Telegram now uses the same private-workspace memory store as Slack for a personal one-to-one chat. Existing Telegram-only workspaces need Update John to pick this up. Older Telegram notebook memory is not migrated.

2026-08-12

• Approvals marked “Always allow” now stick, so John stops re-asking about routine actions in your connected apps.
• Scheduled tasks that need approval now ask you in Slack instead of silently stopping.
• Deleting and recreating a private workspace now works reliably back-to-back.
• “Hosted in the EU” is now shown across the app and in emails from John.

2026-08-07

• John now pauses when your work credits run out and picks back up after you top up.
• Billing and Usage now show every credit grant, what is left, what was used, and what expired.
• What John reads in a Slack channel stays in that channel. Direct messages never surface in channel answers.
• Memory now recovers on its own after a bad start instead of staying stuck.

2026-08-06

• The whole app now works on phones and tablets, including screens as narrow as 320px.
• Checkout and top-ups now show prices in your local currency where supported.
• Telling John to stop in Slack now works in any language and stops the running task.
• Usage now shows a same-day AI spend estimate.
• AI spend figures are more accurate after an improved usage check.

2026-08-02

• Skills let you choose the domain expertise John uses and see which options cost extra.
• John can now review videos shared in Slack, including videos John posted.
