What is Rize?

Rize stops being a time tracker you query and becomes one that runs on a schedule without you.

The August drop lands as one roll-up plus six component entries published together: an Agent tab for live conversation over your Rize data with follow-up actions, Routines that run scheduled prompts and open follow-ups from context, AI Reports that turn prompts and templates into recurring analysis for client profitability and team overviews, Shared AI Skills as reusable saved prompts scoped personal, team or workspace, Agent Context with custom tagging instructions so the agent learns how a team labels clients and projects, and API/MCP surfaces exposing report runs, routine runs, Skills and agent context. Days earlier, v3.0.45 shipped My Timesheet and Team Timesheets with click-and-drag entry editing.

What is Tability?

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

Rize vs Tability: editorial side-by-side

R7.5

Rize stops being a time tracker you query and becomes one that runs on a schedule without you.

◆ Current state

The August drop lands as one roll-up plus six component entries published together: an Agent tab for live conversation over your Rize data with follow-up actions, Routines that run scheduled prompts and open follow-ups from context, AI Reports that turn prompts and templates into recurring analysis for client profitability and team overviews, Shared AI Skills as reusable saved prompts scoped personal, team or workspace, Agent Context with custom tagging instructions so the agent learns how a team labels clients and projects, and API/MCP surfaces exposing report runs, routine runs, Skills and agent context. Days earlier, v3.0.45 shipped My Timesheet and Team Timesheets with click-and-drag entry editing.

◆ Where it's heading

Rize sparked twice this spring on chatting with your time data over MCP; this release is the step from asking to delegating. Routines and scheduled AI Reports mean the analysis happens whether or not anyone opens the app, and Shared Skills plus Agent Context turn one person's prompt into team infrastructure. Exposing routine and report runs through the API and MCP makes the agent layer callable from outside, which is what turns a feature into a platform surface.

◆ Prediction

Expect Routines to gain triggers beyond a schedule — a budget threshold crossed, unlogged time detected — and the timesheet work to be pulled into agent review flows. Invoicing sparked earlier this month, so billing is the obvious destination for a routine that finds unbilled time on its own.

T7.5

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
