Targets shipped in May. They gave every single-metric report a goal line. The chart could finally say whether the number was on pace or behind.

This week the same reports learned to talk about the shape of the data, not just the level. Three additions, all live today.

What's new

Best and worst results are highlighted directly on the chart. Open a report and the high and low jump out without anyone having to scan for them.

Unusual spikes and drops are flagged automatically. The system watches each metric over time and surfaces anomalies as they appear. A bad day stops looking like a normal day with smaller bars.

Trend direction is now visible at a glance. The report tells you whether the metric is going up, down, or holding steady over the selected period. Zoom out to a wider window and the read stays accurate, since trend is computed over what you're actually looking at.

Why this matters

A single-metric chart shows numbers over time. A manager reading it has to do the rest in their head: was that drop normal, is the line going where I want, is today's worst day worse than usual. Multiply that across the reports a manager opens every week and the cognitive load is the actual product.

The new layer takes that work off the reader. The chart points at what changed, in which direction, and whether the change is unusual. The manager spends the time saved on the conversation with the team, not on the chart.

For a service team that's expected to drive sales, qualify leads, and hold operational metrics at the same time, the difference between noticing a drop on day one and noticing it in next week's review is revenue. Anomaly flagging closes that gap automatically.

Where this fits

Targets gave the report a goal line. Trends and anomalies give it a memory. Together with the Wins counter that shipped in May, the reporting stack now answers three questions a service manager actually has: am I on pace, is the direction right, and is anything weird right now.

What's coming next

Multi-metric chart support. The current rollout covers single-metric reports only. Charts that plot multiple series next to each other are next in line.

Per-metric anomaly tuning. The current detection works out of the box. The team is collecting feedback on whether managers want to dial sensitivity per report, especially for noisy metrics.

Available now

Best and worst highlights, anomaly flags, and trend direction are live in every single-metric report today. Nothing to enable. Open any single-metric report and the new annotations appear automatically.

The AI agent can now read customer screenshots and photos

The AI agent now understands the images a customer sends, not only the text they type. A screenshot, a product photo, a picture of a damaged item: the agent reads what is in the image and uses it in the conversation. It is live now.

Campaigns are no longer admin-only

The campaigns page used to be admin-only. Now agents can open it, see every campaign, and create and run campaigns inside their own groups. Where an account has opportunities, agents can launch the campaigns tied to them too.
