Velocity5.0

Project management software for agile software teams

Shortcut is rebuilding its API for agents and pushing its Korey AI assistant beyond the app.

project-managementapiagentsai-assistantdeveloper-platform
Current state
Two real threads run through the recent log: an API overhaul (coarse-grained token scopes, admin-scoped routes, and a v4 alpha explicitly aimed at agent compatibility) and the Korey AI assistant expanding to a Chrome extension usable on any webpage. Integration and roadmap polish round it out. Note that some recent feed items are brand-guide page content rather than product releases.
Where it's heading
Shortcut is preparing its platform for agent-driven use, with scoped tokens and an agent-optimized API v4, while extending Korey outward from inside the app to anywhere the user works. The direction is a project tracker that both AI agents and humans can drive through a controlled API.
Prediction
Expect API v4 to move from alpha toward general availability with agent-oriented capabilities, and Korey to gain more in-context actions across surfaces beyond the Chrome extension.
