What shipped.

Everything new in Contentingency, as it ships.

August 26, 2026

Enter the codex one thought at a time

The codex’s tag and list fields stop asking you to format text — the structure builds itself as you enter.

New

Add, one at a time. Tag fields like Never say, Their language, and Where they gather now show their tags and a quiet “+ Add…”. Click it, type one, press Enter — the tag lands and the input stays ready for the next. Pasting a comma-separated set lands each piece as its own tag.

New

Tags edit in place. Click a tag’s text and it becomes the input holding it — fix the wording right there, Enter saves it back.

New

A writer and an editor behind every summary. Summaries are now drafted by one mind and reviewed by a second, which reads the draft against your answers the way a strategist signs work — rewriting what it wouldn’t put its name on before anything lands on your page.

New

Summaries say where they stand. When your answers change, the summary panel says a rewrite is queued, shows “Writing a fresh summary…” while the system works, and brings the new text in the moment it lands — no reload.

New

Key messages are yours to write. The points that carry your claim are a strategic choice, not a summary — so they’re now an editable list, with what the system had drafted kept as your starting text. The written summaries stay system-kept.

New

Lists shape themselves. Editing a list looks exactly like the list: every entry is its own bulleted row, Enter starts the next, and a pasted list splits into rows. Nothing to format after the fact.

Improved

Summary panels wear the brand’s own color — deepened only as far as white type needs, so a vivid orange stays vividly orange.

Improved

The completion table counts by section — Identity, Voice, Foundation, Audience, Positioning — and every cell counts exactly the questions its section asks.

August 25, 2026

The brand codex, rebuilt — and a new engine underneath

The biggest release since launch. The brand codex becomes the product’s system of record, and a new engine runs the agents that work from it.

New

One page that is the brand. The brand codex is one scrolling document — Brand, Strategy, Operation — every answer in its place, under a completion ring that always matches what the page shows.

New

The codex writes its own lines. The positioning statement, the section summaries, and the key messages are now written by the system from your answers, and rewritten when your answers change. Every write lands in the brand’s history with the old and new text, so nothing is ever lost.

New

Every version of the logo. The mark collection takes all the brand’s logo files in one drop. Each becomes a named tile the moment it lands — rename it in place, drag it into order, and the first in line is what the work reaches for. Light logos sit on a dark ground automatically, dark ones on light.

New

A new engine under the agents. Every automated behavior now runs as its own visible program, and every run keeps a complete record: what woke it, what it read, what it wrote, and why.

New

AI features are live. The agents run in production for the first time, in a monitored trial for selected workspaces.

Improved

Guardrails in order of force. Guardrails sort themselves — Block, then Flag, then Guide — and the default set is tighter, so the rules that matter read first.

Improved

The claim wears the brand. The positioning statement is set on a panel in the brand’s own color, with type that always clears it — saturated brights deepen and take white type.

August 15, 2026

A task knows what it is

The channel section of every task got rebuilt around one idea: show the identity being composed, and show the choices that compose it.

New

The channel card. A task's channel, content type, and reach now live in one composed card: the channel mark sits in a color-tinted well on the left, and the three decisions stack beside it — the channel picker, every content type as a one-tap glyph, and owned / earned / paid as simple segments. Pick anything and the mark updates right there. No more hunting through dropdowns for a seven-option choice.

Improved

The paid mark on channel badges is sharper and easier to read at every size.

August 14, 2026

Automation is a switch

Every workspace can now run with its agents — or entirely without them. One setting decides, and the whole app follows.

New

One switch for the whole workspace. Settings › Automation turns the work that runs itself — the Planner pane, task production, and the attention that flows from them — on or off for everyone in the workspace. Flip it and the app answers in front of you: the Planner pane glides away, and glides back the moment Automation returns.

Improved

With Automation off, agent surfaces across the app rest quiet and gray, with everything you wrote kept intact.

Improved

Turning Automation off settles any suggestions the agents had waiting on you; approved work stays as it is.

New

System announcements tuck into the header like a drawer, and every new announcement reopens it.

Fixed

A page refresh no longer flashes a hidden announcement bar open and shut.

August 1, 2026

Your inbox, briefed

Inbox items are no longer conversations to read back through. Each one is a briefing: what's stuck, why it needs you, and exactly what to do about it.

New

One item, one briefing. Each unresolved need appears as a single item that tells you everything at a glance: what's blocked, why it needs your judgment, what the Producer recommends, the exact decision or reply it's asking for, and what waiting costs. New developments update the same item; it never piles up duplicates.

New

Answer right there, work resumes. Reply on the item and the Producer picks the parked work back up with your direction, redrafts, and updates the item as the pass lands. When your answer clears the block, the item resolves itself and leaves the inbox — nothing to dismiss.

New

One voice on every task. The Producer is the only agent that speaks to you about a task. Editorial review still happens on every draft, but its findings arrive through the Producer's briefing, never as a second character filling your inbox.

Improved

The full conversation is a click away. The default view is the briefing and your recent replies. The complete task history sits behind “Show full history” whenever you want the whole story.

Improved

Honest close-outs. A task only offers “ready to close” when work actually happened and nothing is still parked. No more premature all-clears.

August 1, 2026

Campaigns wear their colors

A campaign's brand color now follows it everywhere you focus on it.

New

The campaign window wears the campaign. Opening a campaign from the calendar now brings up a proper centered window washed in the campaign's brand color, with the essentials front and center: dates, a progress bar, the brief, and one clear action to its tasks on the board. Archive and delete tuck into a small menu.

New

The board joins in. Filter the board to a campaign and the columns take on the same soft wash, with the filter chip to match. Clear the filter and the color fades back out smoothly. Brands whose color is nearly black or white swap to their secondary so the wash always reads.

New

Campaigns in flight lead the day. The day view now opens with the campaigns running that day — each as its slim brand-colored strip, one click from its details. Campaigns with work landing that day keep their full band around it, and on days with nothing in flight the section simply isn't there.

New

A campaign with no tasks still shows. A freshly planned campaign now draws its header strip across the month and week views for the span it covers, so it's visible on the calendar from the moment it exists — not only once its first task gets a date.

Fixed

No more left-corner popup. The campaign details used to open pinned against the left edge of the window. It now opens centered over a dimmed background, like every other dialog.

July 31, 2026

A Planner that speaks only for itself

The Planner's conversation and its claims got a deep round of straightening.

New

Your conversation is yours. Each member of a workspace now has their own private Planner thread. The Planner greets you as you, remembers your exchanges, and never mixes in anyone else's chat. What the team shares is the work itself — campaigns, tasks, and dates — not each other's conversations.

New

It only claims what it did. Every Planner reply is checked against what actually happened on that turn. If nothing was created or changed, it says so plainly instead of narrating work that never ran. Facts about your real schedule stay untouched by the check.

Improved

Exact dates in answers. Questions about timing come back with the actual date, not a day-count that can drift.

July 31, 2026

An inbox that knows where you are

Agents now notice when you are working and stay out of your way, and the inbox only collects what you actually left behind.

New

Agents wait their turn. While you are typing or editing in a task, the agents hold their replies. They speak up only once you pause, and they re-read everything you changed before they do. However long you keep typing, they keep waiting.

New

The inbox fills only after you leave. While you have a task open, everything that needs you stays right there in the conversation. If you leave with something unresolved, it moves to your inbox a couple of minutes later. Come back and it returns to the task, same thread, no duplicates.

New

Attention that cleans up after itself. When you answer a question, approve or reject work, fix a date, or fill a field the agent was stuck on, the related inbox item closes on its own. Nothing waits for you to dismiss it.

Improved

One line for a shared problem. When several tasks in a campaign hit the same trouble, the Pulse shows a single line for the whole situation and drops it the moment the situation passes.

Improved

Client comments stay comments. A client viewer can weigh in on any task, and their notes never count as approval or direction. Those calls stay yours.

July 31, 2026

Approvals with a memory

Agent work now runs on real, durable approvals. You approve exactly what you reviewed, and nothing starts without you.

New

Production asks first. When a task's brief is ready, the Producer presents it in the task conversation and asks to start. Approve and it drafts. Reject and it asks what should change and stays in briefing. It never starts work on its own anymore.

New

Approvals track the exact version. Every ask is tied to the precise state of the task you reviewed. If the brief changes before you click Approve, the old ask expires on the spot and a fresh one appears for the new state. A stale approval can never fire, and the same approval can never run twice.

New

Campaign plans you approve as a whole. The Planner can present a complete campaign plan right in its panel: the campaign, its tasks, dates, and the order they depend on. Approve and exactly that plan is created, with each task then asking for its own production go-ahead. Deny and planning simply continues.

New

Tasks that wait their turn. Tasks can depend on each other. A task whose turn has not come says what it is waiting for, and starts by itself the moment the work it depended on is published.

New

The board keeps itself current. The Planner moves tasks along ordinary steps, into Production when drafting starts, and says so in the task history under its own name. The meaningful moves, like Scheduled, Approved, and Published, stay yours alone.

Improved

One clear line for a campaign in trouble. When several tasks slip past a campaign's window, the Pulse shows a single line for the whole situation instead of a pile of separate alerts, and it never shows more than five things at once.

July 30, 2026

The Planner gets a Pulse

The Planner panel now opens with a live read on your workspace, and its conversation matches the task chat.

New

The Pulse. The top of the Planner panel now shows what it is watching for you: items that need your direction, the next publish coming up, tasks still waiting on a brief, brand pages with gaps, and how much is in flight. Every line is real, current, and only appears while it is true.

New

Every Pulse line takes you there. Click a line and you land where it points: your inbox, the task, the calendar, or the brand page. Lines that need you are marked in orange and listed first.

Improved

One conversation style. Planner messages now look and read like the task conversation: the same bubbles, name lines, times, and day markers.

Improved

Easier on the eyes. Brand names in Planner replies now use softened versions of their brand colors, so bright hues stay readable instead of glaring.

July 30, 2026

A better permissions panel

The member permissions panel on the Team page got a proper polish.

Improved

Organized into sections. The permission list now groups into Work, Approvals, Publishing, and Brand, so you can find the one you want at a glance.

Improved

Checkboxes, and the whole row is clickable. Permissions read as a checklist now, and clicking anywhere on a row toggles it. Only changed permissions carry a marker, so exceptions stand out.

Improved

See restrictions without opening anything. A member with changed permissions shows a small count right on their row, like “Permissions · 2 restricted.”

Improved

Smooth open and close. The panel glides open and shut instead of snapping.

July 29, 2026

Roles that mean what they say

Workspace roles and permissions are now actively enforced, not just labels on the team page.

New

Permissions are real now. What each person can do in a workspace is decided by their role everywhere in the app, on every action. Client viewers can view, comment, and give feedback, and nothing else. Members work fully by default.

New

Fine-grained member permissions. Owners and administrators can switch individual abilities off per member, like approving work or editing the brand foundation, from the Team page. Every switch shows whether it is the default or an override, and one click resets to defaults.

New

Workspace administrators. An owner can elevate a member to administrator: full operational authority plus permission management, while membership and ownership stay with the owner.

New

Suspend instead of remove. Pause someone's access while keeping their assignments and settings exactly as they are, then restore them intact. Removal is separate and keeps their past work on the record.

New

Leave, transfer, delete. Members can leave a workspace on their own. Owners can hand ownership to a member, and delete a workspace outright, each with a clear confirmation.

July 28, 2026

The conversation, easier to follow

A task’s conversation now reads like one, and a few edges got smoother.

Improved

Opens at the newest message. A task’s conversation starts at the latest word, right beside the message box, instead of at the top of its history.

Improved

Messages group by speaker. When the same person sends several messages in a row, they sit together under one name instead of repeating it.

Improved

Days and times. Thin day lines like Today and Yesterday mark the calendar, and each message shows its clock time.

New

Small edits fold up. A burst of little changes reads as one quiet line, such as “9 changes · priority landed on Medium.” Click it to see every step, and it glides open and shut.

New

Month marks on the timeline. When a task’s schedule crosses into a new month, a small gray line and a date like Aug 1 keep you oriented.

Improved

Creating a workflow. It opens in the same clean window the rest of the app uses, with a line explaining what a workflow is.

Improved

Calendar hover. Pointing at a date on the calendar now highlights it with comfortable space around the text, and the highlight stays inside its day.

New

Year view previews. Rest your pointer on any date mark in the year view and a small card tells you what it is: the kind of date, the task, its channel and brand. Click to open it, same as always.

Fixed

The in-app notifications switch works. Turning it off in Account now actually quiets the badge and menu. It was a switch wired to nothing.

Fixed

Your edits always win. If you fill in a field while the Producer is still drafting, your version stays. The Producer notices, keeps your words, and says so in the task log instead of writing over them.

Fixed

No more tasks stuck on “Drafting…”. If a drafting run is ever interrupted, the app now notices within a few minutes and frees the task so the Producer can work on it again.

Improved

Honest stops. When the writing model is slow or unreachable, drafting now stops cleanly with a note in the task log about what happened and what is left, instead of hanging quietly.

Improved

Every agent action leaves a record. Behind the scenes, each thing an agent does is now written down from start to finish, so when something looks off we can trace exactly what happened and fix it.

July 27, 2026

Mentions, notifications, and a better conversation

The task conversation grew up: reach teammates from it, share files in it, and always know your edits landed.

New

@-mentions. Type @ in a task’s conversation to bring in a teammate. They get a notification in the app and an email, and the conversation stays on the task.

New

Notifications in your menu. When someone mentions you, a small count appears on your profile picture. Click it, tap the mention, and you land on the task.

New

Files in conversation. Attach a file to any message. It stays with the conversation. If it’s a keeper, one click saves it to the task’s files, or delete it just as easily.

New

A quiet “Saving…” note. While your changes are being stored, a small grey note appears at the top of the task. When it fades, everything you typed is safe.

Improved

The message box. It stays small until you click into it, then opens up with buttons to attach a file, mention a teammate, and send. It grows as you write and shrinks back when you’re done.

Improved

Priority on boards. Sort any column by priority to see the important work first, instead of every card wearing a colored dot. Priority keeps its colors inside the task, where you set it.

July 26, 2026

The calendar, redrawn

One visual language across day, week, month, and year.

New

Six date marks. Each kind of date has its own small shape: start, due, milestones, publish begin and end. Every view draws them the same way, in the task’s channel color, so you learn them once.

New

Campaign bands. A campaign shows as a soft band of its brand’s color with its tasks’ dates inside it. A glance at the month tells you what’s running, then what’s due.

Improved

The day view. Rebuilt to show what that day actually holds: what’s starting, what’s due, what’s publishing. Each task shows its channel, dates, and status on one line.

Improved

Date filters. Show or hide each kind of date on the calendar with its own switch, publish begin and end included.

July 23, 2026

Contentingency is live

The app opened its doors at contentingency.app.

New

Early access. Sign-ups open with an access code; every workspace gets the full product.

New

Redesigned onboarding. Your first minutes are guided: the app sets up your workspace, your first brand, and how your week works.

Improved

Faster everywhere. Images and files load once and stay remembered, so coming back to a page is instant.

July 16, 2026

Polish, settled

Improved

Covers you can frame. Adjust a task’s cover image right where it sits: slide the focus, zoom in or out.

Improved

Email digests. A daily digest batches your workspace's news on your schedule: morning, evening, or off.

Fixed

Calendar campaigns no longer show up a day early in some timezones.

July 12, 2026

The Planner arrives everywhere

The planning agent stepped out of its corner and onto every page.

New

A planner on every page. It sits beside you wherever you work, and your conversation follows you around the app.

New

It does, not says. Ask for a plan and it actually builds it: the campaign, the tasks. Then it takes you to what it made. It never claims to have done something it didn’t.

Improved

Live word-flow. Replies appear word by word as the Planner writes, and you can see when it’s thinking.

July 9, 2026

Your channels, your words

New

Editable channel catalog. Rename, recolor, or retire the built-in channels; add your own. Content types and acquisition kinds are editable the same way.

New

Custom fields. Attach your own fields to any channel or format. Every task wearing it picks them up.

June 12, 2026

The Producer takes its seat

New

A named role in the conversation. The Producer drafts work right inside the task, and every message says who’s speaking, you or it.

New

Approvals with a record. Anything the Producer proposes waits for your yes. Approve or reject from the task, and the decision stays in its history.

June 8, 2026

The brand codex

A brand became more than a name and a color.

New

The codex. Every brand gets its own book: its voice, its story, its rules, its fonts with live previews, and its logos and images, all in one place.

New

Guardrails. The lines your brand never crosses, written down once and checked against everything made for it.

May 27, 2026

The foundation

Three days, every surface.

New

Boards, Inbox, Calendar. Three ways to see the same work: where it stands, what needs you, and when it lands.

New

Tasks with history. Every task keeps its whole story from day one: every change, the conversation, the files.

New

Multi-brand from day one. Brands, campaigns, and workflows are real structure in the app, not colored labels taped onto a list.

What’s ahead

The forward half, kept honest: what we’re building now, and what’s planned after. No dates. It ships when it’s right.

Building now

A rebuilt agent foundation

The AI in early access works today: a planner that builds campaigns and tasks, a producer that drafts work. We’re rebuilding that whole layer from the ground up before promising anything new on top of it. What comes out of the rebuild will appear above when it’s real, not before.

On the horizon

Open early access

Invitations widen as each phase lands. The gate exists so quality stays ahead of headcount.
